Page 8: Keyboard Customizing
The external devices must be turned on or off by the machine manufacturer by means of a PLC program. The CNC will inform the PLC on the status of each key. The pertinent register bit will be set to "1" when the key is pressed and "0" when it is not. -
Page 9: Operating In Jog Mode
The standard screen for the CO operating mode dpends on the model: TCO model MCO model La forma de operar con ambos modelos es muy parecida. Si algunas de las prestaciones descritas en este capítulo no es común para ambos modelos, se indicará claramente a qué modelo corresponde. -
Page 10: Introduction
5.- This window may be customized entirely (see "Screen customizing" in the installation manual). The one supplied by Fagor shows the feedrate of the «F» axes that has been selected and the % of F which is being applied are shown. - Page 11 * The theoretical turning speed selected. «S» value when working in rpm. and the «CSS» value when working in TCO mode at constant surface speed. * The condition of the spindle. This is represented by an icon and can be turning to the right, to the left or idle.
- Page 12 PLC messages 3.- The CNC messages are shown in this window. 4.- In manual operating mode this window does not display any data, but during execution, it shows the lines of the program being executed. 5.- The axes have the following fields:...
- Page 13 MCO-TCO work mode 6.- This window shows the status of the «G, F, T, D, M» functions and the value of the variables. PARCO States the number of consecutive parts that have been executed with the same program. Whenever a new program is selected, this variable assumes value 0.
-
Page 14: Axis Control
2.2 AXIS CONTROL 2.2.1 WORK UNITS Whenever the CO work mode is accessed, the CNC assumes the work units, «mm or inches», «radii or diameters», «millimeters/minute or millimeters/revolution», etc., that are selected by machine parameter. To modify these values, the "T" mode has to be accessed, modifying the relevant machine parameter. -
Page 15: Home Search (Machine Reference Zero)
Carries out the home search on the Z axis Warning: The CNC does not save the part zero or zero offset that is active at the time and assumes as new part zero the position taken by machine reference zero (home). -
Page 16: Jogging The Axes

Page 17: Continuous Jog
* The axis will only move while the relevant JOG key is pressed. * The axis will start moving when the JOG key is pressed and will not stop until said JOG key or another JOG key is pressed again, and in this case the movement is transferred to what is indicated by the next key pressed. -
Page 18: Jogging With An Electronic Handwheel
Positions 1, 10 and 100 indicate the multiplying factor being applied besides the internal x4 to the feedback pulses supplied by the electronic handwheel. For example, if the manufacturer has set a distance of 0.100 mm or 0.0100 inches per handwheel turn, thus:... -
Page 19: Standard Handwheel Mode
When using a FAGOR handwheel with an axis selector button, the axis may be selected as follows: Push the button on the back of the handwheel. The CNC select the first axis and it highlights it. When pressing the button again, the CNC selects the next axis and so on in a rotary fashion. -
Page 20: Path Handwheel Mode
MCO-TCO work mode 2.4.4.2 PATH HANDWHEEL MODE With this feature, it is possible to jog two axes at the same time along a linear path (chamfer) or circular path (rounding) with a single handwheel. The CNC assumes as the path handwheel the general handwheel or, when this one is missing, the one associated with the X axis (MCO model) or Z axis (COO model). -
Page 21: Feed Handwheel
MCO-TCO work mode 2.4.4.3 FEED HANDWHEEL Usually, when making a part for the first time, the machine feedrate is controlled by means of the feedrate override switch. From this version on, it is also possible to use the machine handwheels to control that feedrate. This way, the machining feedrate will depend on how fast the handwheel is turned. -
Page 22: Tool Control
SINGLE TOOL CHANGE POINT When the tool is always changed at the same point, proceed as follows: Write the text 47 of program 999997 as a comment so the CNC does not show the window for the tool change point. -
Page 23: Variable Tool Change Point
This feature allows the tool change to be made beside the part, thus avoiding movements to a change point farther away from the same. To allow this: Define text 47 of the program 999997 for the CNC to request the coordinates on X and Z of the change point. For example: ;47 $CHANGE POSITION These coordinates should always refer to machine reference zero (home), for the zero offsets not to affect the tool change point. -
Page 24: Live Tool
The location code (shape) of the live tool must be "10", "20" or "30". It is up to the PLC to manage the keys for the live tool. The next page shows an example of the section of the PLC program in charge of managing the live tool:... - Page 25 CPS R102 EQ 10 OR CPS R102 EQ 20 OR CPS R102 EQ 30 = M2 If the active tool is a live tool, (location code = 10, 20 or 30), it activates mark M2. CUSTOM AND (DFU B30R561 OR DFD M2) = CNCEX1 (M45 S0, M1) If while the CO operating mode is selected (CUSTOM=1) ...

Page 26: Spindle Control
MCO-TCO work mode SPINDLE CONTROL The standard screen for the CO work mode has a window for displaying information about the spindle. This window may be customized entirely. The one supplied by Fagor can display the following information depending on the model:... -
Page 27: Spindle In Rpm
Enter the range number to be selected and press Note: When the machine does not have spindle ranges this message is superfluous. For this reason, when text 28 of program 999997 is not defined, the CNC does not display this message. -
Page 28: Constant Surface Speed
2.- Theoretical constant surface speed. Defined in m/minute or in feet/minute. To select any other speed press value The CNC assumes this value and if the spindle is started it will update the actual speed of the spindle (in rpm.) 3.- State of the spindle:... -
Page 29: Operating At Constant Surface Speed (Css)
The spindle is started The CNC moves the axes to the F programmed. As the X axis is moved, the CNC makes the spindle speed (rpm.) match to maintain the constant surface speed selected. If the tool tip moves away from the turning axis the spindle revolutions therefore go down, and if it gets nearer, they go up. -
Page 30: Handling Iso Code
In this window, it is possible to edit a block and execute it later on. In the ISO mode (pressing twice) a special screen is displayed where it is possible to edit up to 6 program blocks in ISO or in high level language. - Page 31 Use keys [C1] through [C11] to access the first 11 groups. The access to the rest of the groups must be set in the PLC program by the manufacturer as described later on. To do this, external devices or free keys (blank keys or keys [O1] through [O14]) may be used.
- Page 32 Screens 001 through 200 may also be used for diagnosis, setup, to inform of CNC, PLC or Drive status, etc. They are defined in the same way as the canned cycles, they have a configuration file an a routine associated with them and the texts they use must be defined in program P999995.
-
Page 33: Associated Programs
In CO mode, routines 0000 through 8999 are free and 9000 through 9999 are reserved to customize the CNC. It is recommended to define all the OEM routines in a program with a high number in order to prevent the operator from modifying them. -
Page 34: Oem Cycles
We will use screen 001 of the example that comes in the Wgdraw application manual. The data the user may edit in this cycle use "W" as identifier, the number associated with each one of them indicates the order in which they are selected (W1, W2, ... W11, W12). -
Page 35: Configuration File
· The last line of the configuration file must be ;(END) · It is recommended to use the ;(DEBUG) instruction in order for the CNC to run a test of the configuration file. Program 999500 will keep a log of any errors that come up in this test. - Page 36 To continuously update the field value, use the (AUTOREFRESH) instruction which is described later on. • If its associate is a read-only type, the operator will not be able to change the field value. • If its associate is a read/write type, the operator may change the field value.
- Page 37 It indicates that the cycle is modal (see programming manual). The call to the routine will be of the (MCALL 9001, A10, B12, C5, ..) type. If after executing the cycle, several movements are made, the cycle will be executed again after each move, making a new call to the routine (MCALL 9001, A10, B12, C5, ..
- Page 38 ;(HOTKEY W1,88) ;(TEACHIN W1=POSX) The W1 field has the X hotkey (88) and the X axis position associated with it. In other words: Pressing the [X] key selects this field. If while this field is selected, [RECALL] is pressed, it will display the X axis position. If [ENTER] is pressed next, the cycle assumes that value.
