l The FS160i/180i/210i with the personal computer function, the
FS160i/180i/210i or FS150i with a CNC Display Unit with
Personal Computer Function, and a personal computer connected
to the FS15i or FS15B via the high-speed serial bus Type 2 can
display 14" images only. A personal computer connected to the
FS16i/18i/21i via the high-speed serial bus Type 2 and a
personal computer connected to the FS16i/18i/21i via the
Ethernet can display both 9" images (including monochrome
images) and 14" images.
l When this software is used with a personal computer connected
to the FS16i/18i/21i, the FS15i, or the FS15B via the high-speed
serial bus Type 2 or a personal computer connected to the
FS16i/18i/21i via the Ethernet, the LCD display and MDI
keyboard on the CNC cannot be used during execution of the
CNC screen display function.
l When the CNC is in graphic display mode (for example, a tool
path is being drawn), executing the CNC screen display function
does not produce a graphic display which is already drawn. Also
when the CNC screen display function is terminated while
graphic display is being performed on the CNC screen display
function side, no graphic display is produced on the CNC side.
Graphic display must be performed again on each side
respectively.
l The boot screen cannot be displayed.
l When characters and graphics are overlaid on one another,
composite colors cannot be displayed. One of the colors, that of
the characters or that of the graphic, must be specified as the
priority color. (The default color is that of the characters.)
l Color palette numbers 0 to 15 and 240 to 255 are unavailable
because they are reserved by Windows. Therefore, when a
screen created in 256-color mode is displayed with the CNC
screen display function, the colors corresponding to these color
palette numbers are not displayed correctly.
l Screen programs created with the C Executor must be
recompiled by using a library supporting the CNC screen display
function supplied by FANUC. (FS15i or FS15B is not supported
C language Executor function.)
lConversational programming functions ( such as Manual Guide
M/T, Super CAPi M/T, Symbol CAPi T) are valid for
FS160i/180i/210i MODEL B with a CNC Display Unit with
Personal Computer Function only.
