B-63164EN/04 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
s-3
CAUTION
1 The operator's manual on the CNC screen display function
does not cover the functions and operation of CNCs. For
details of the functions and operation of a CNC, refer to the
operator's manual for the CNC.
2 Some machine operations and screen functions are
implemented by the machine tool builder. For an explanation
of their usage and related notes, refer to the manual provided
by the machine tool builder.
3 The CNC screen display function is designed to allow
standard CNC screens to be displayed on the monitor of a
personal computer. With this function, the same operation as
the standard CNC operation can be performed. However,
there are some operations that cannot be performed with this
function. For details, see the notes and limitations described in
this manual.
NOTE
Command programs, parameters, and variables are stored in
nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally, the contents of
memory are not lost by a power on/off operation. However, the
contents of memory may be erased by mistake, or important
data in nonvolatile memory may have to be erased because of
recovery from a failure.
To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible if such a
situation arises, always make a backup of the data.
