4. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
4.1 Input Data
(1) On the conversational data input screen, enter lengths and coordinates in millimeters (metric mode) or in-
ches (inch mode).
(2) Usually, entries with an asterisk (*) need not be specified in the FANUC standard macro. Specify them only
when required.
Data cannot be set in entries marked with J. Those entries are set automatically according to the settings
of options and parameters.
(3) This system is not applicable to machines operating in IS–C (0.1 um) mode.
(4) This system is not applicable to sets 48 and 300 of the workpiece coordinate system.
4.2 Background Editing
The following operations cannot be executed during background editing:
(1) Drawing of the machining profile, animated simulation
(Can be executed if the optional background drawing function is provided.)
(2) NC statement output function
(3) Setting and changing the tool offset value in the list of tools to be used
(4) Setting and changing a tool file
4.3 Tool Offset Number
When contour side cutting or contour pocket cutting is carried out, the offset data in parameter No. 9404 is auto-
matically overwritten. The offset number and offset data cannot be used.
When 0 is set in that parameter, the following offset data is used instead.
(1) Data No. 32 when 32 sets of tool offset are specified
(2) Data No. 64 when 64 sets of tool offset are specified
(3) Data No. 99 when 99 sets of tool offset are specified
(4) Data No. 200 when 200 sets of tool offset are specified
4.4 Parameters
Be sure to set the following parameter bits to 0.
(1) SGD (bit 0) of parameter No. 3112 = 0 (servo waveform display)
(2) LVK (bit 6) of parameter No. 5003 = 0 (cancellation of tool length compensation)
(3) OIM (bit 0) of parameter No. 5006 = 0 (switching of tool compensation between inch and metric modes)
