ENHANCED TRACEABILITY

Needs for automation are increasing, which can be realized more easily with lower cost.
Improved traceability
helps to visualize
factory-wide operation
M800/M80 Series CNCs are equipped with
the MES interface function, through which

statements to the production control system
database upon completion of cutting or
occurrence of an alarm. This can signi cantly
increase traceability throughout the factory.
This transparency helps optimize production
planning and management.
Quality control can also be easier through
visualization of alarm history and the
production results based on the basic unit
speci c to each workpiece.
In addition, when control is combined with
the EcoMonitorLight power consumption
monitor, operators can monitor not only

Compatible with CC-Link (master/slave), PROFIBUS-DP (master) .
Possible to connect to peripheral equipment and devices conforming to a range
of eld networks.
Each channel accommodates up to 32
units (64 stations, 2048 points)
Devices can be allocated to each
station using the parameters
Renewed I/O communication method allows for the control of up to 64 stations
and 2,048 points per channel.
Various peripheral equipment can be controlled by the CNC alone.

Multi-project PLC enables control of ladder logic for peripheral equipment separately
from that for machine tools. This leads to ef cient development and management of
ladder logics for peripheral equipment.
LAN
During an alarm, operation of individual machine groups can be stopped.
Machining is not interrupted when an alarm occurs on peripheral equipment (e.g., loader).

Renewed I/O units and
built-in PLC functionality
make it easier to control
and manage peripheral
equipment
I/O units have been redesigned. The
renewed I/O communication method
makes it possible to signi cantly
increase the maximum number of
contact points per channel, enabling a
number of peripheral equipment and
devices to be controlled by CNC alone.
In addition, built-in PLC functionality for
I/O control has been improved. This
CNC supports Multi-project PLC, a
feature that enables ladder logics for
peripheral equipment to be managed
separately from those for machine
tools. This creates a more ef cient
environment for operators working
together in developing and managing
ladder logics.
New feature capable of
stopping peripheral
equipment incorporated
M800/M80 Series has a feature called
Machine Group-based Alarm Stop,
which stops operation of individual
machine groups if an alarm occurs
when control is combined with the
MDS-E/EM/EJ Series.
This feature allows continuation of
machining even when an alarm occurs
on a loader, magazine or other peripheral
equipment.
