Actual feedrate is displayed after ACT.F.

Explanations

The actual feedrate is displayed in units of millimeter/min or inch/min

(depending on the specified least input increment) under the display of the

current position.

D Actual feedrate value

The actual rate is calculated by the following expression:

: Number of axes

: Cutting feed rate in the tangential direction of each axis or rapid

traverse rate

Fact : Actual feedrate displayed

The display unit: mm/min (metric input).

point are displayed.)

The feedrate along the PMC axis can be omitted by setting bit 1 (PCF) of

parameter 3105.

D Actual feedrate display

In the case of feed per revolution and thread cutting, the actual feedrate

of feed per revolution

displayed is the feed per minute rather than feed per revolution.

Explanations

D Display of the servo axes

The reading on the load meter can be displayed for up to four servo axes

by setting parameters 3151 to 3154.

When all these parameters are set to 0, data is displayed only to the 3rd

axis.

D Display of the spindle

When serial spindles are used, the reading on the load meter and

axes

speedometer can be displayed only for the main serial spindle.

D Unit of graph

The bar graph for the load meter shows load up to 200% (only a value is

displayed for load exceeding 200%). The bar graph for the speedometer

shows the ratio of the current spindle speed to the maximum spindle speed

(100%).

D Load meter

The reading on the load meter depends on servo parameter 2086 and

spindle parameter 4127.

651

11. SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA

OPERATION

B-64124EN/01

D Speedometer

Although the speedometer normally indicates the speed of the spindle

motor, it can also be used to indicate the speed of the spindle by setting

bit 6 (OPS) of parameter 3111 to 1.

The spindle speed to be displayed during operation monitoring is

calculated from the speed of the spindle motor (see the formula below).

The spindle speed can therefore be displayed, during operation

monitoring, even when no position coder is used. To display the correct

spindle speed, however, the maximum spindle speed for each gear

(spindle speed at each gear ratio when the spindle motor rotates at the

maximum speed) must be set in parameters No. 3741 to 3744.

The input of the clutch and gear signals for the first serial spindle is used

to determine the gear which is currently selected. Control the input of the

CTH1A and CTH2A signals according to the gear selection, by referring

to the table below.

(Formula for calculating the spindle speed to be displayed)

The speed of the spindle motor and spindle can be displayed, during

operation monitoring, only for the first serial spindle and the spindle

switching axis for the first serial spindle. It cannot be displayed for the

second spindle.

If the value of a load meter exceeds 100%, the bar graph turns purple.

To assign CNC programs to the same group, assign names to those

programs, beginning each name with the same character string.

By searching through the program names for a specified character string,

the program numbers and names of all the programs having names

including that string are listed.

To enable this function, bit 1 (GPL) of parameter No. 3106 must be set

[Group-unit program list screen displayed

when a search is made for “GEAR-1000*”]

When the program list consists of two or more pages, the pages can be

changed by using a page key.

Explanations

D * and ?

In the above example, the asterisk (*) must not be omitted. The asterisk

indicates an arbitrary character string (wild card specification).

“GEAR-1000*” indicates that the first nine characters of the target

program names must be “GEAR-1000,” followed by an arbitrary

character string. If only “GEAR-1000” is entered, a search is made only

for those CNC programs having the nine-character name “GEAR-1000.”

A question mark (?) can be used to specify a single arbitrary character.

For example, entering “????-1000” enables a search to be made for

programs having names which start with four arbitrary characters,

followed by “-1000”.

Explanations

D Decimal point input

A decimal point can be used when entering a compensation value.

An external input/output device can be used to input or output a tool offset

D Tool offset memory

Compensation data items are classified by D code or H code and by

geometry or wear.

D Disabling entry of

The entry of compensation values may be disabled by setting bit 0 (WOF)

compensation values

and bit 1 (GOF) of parameter 3290.

And then, the input of tool compensation values from the MDI can be

inhibited for a specified range of offset numbers. The first offset number

for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter No. 3294.

The number of offset numbers, starting from the specified first number,

for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter No. 3295.

Consecutive input values are set as follows:

1) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for which

input is not inhibited to one for which input is inhibited, a warning is

issued and values are set only for those offset numbers for which input

is not inhibited.

2) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for which

input is inhibited to one for which input is not inhibited, a warning is

issued and no values are set.
