2 GENERAL WARNINGS AND NOTES

WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data.
Operating the machine with incorrect data may
result in the machine behaving unexpectedly,
possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or
machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to perform a production run, such as
actually machining a workpiece, without first
checking the operation of the machine. Before
starting the machine for a production run, ensure
that the program command values, offsets, current
position, external signals, and other settings are
suitable for the operation to be performed. Also
check that the machine operates correctly by
performing a trial run using, for example, the single
block, feedrate override, or machine lock function or
by operating the machine with neither a tool nor
workpiece mounted.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for
the intended operation. Generally, for each
machine, there is a maximum allowable feedrate.
The appropriate feedrate varies with the intended
operation. Refer to the manual provided with the
machine to determine the maximum allowable
feedrate.
If a machine is run at other than the correct speed, it
may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing
damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function,
thoroughly check the direction and amount of
compensation.
Operating the machine with incorrectly specified
data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-62714EN/04
WARNING
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-
set. Usually, there is not need to change them.
When, however, there is not alternative other than to
change a parameter, ensure that you fully
understand the function of the parameter before
making any change.
Failure to set a parameter correctly may result in the
machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing
damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
6 Immediately after switching on the power, do not
touch any of the keys on the MDI panel until the
position display or alarm screen appears on the
CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to
maintenance or other special operations. Pressing
any of these keys may place the CNC unit in other
than its normal state. Starting the machine in this
state may cause it to behave unexpectedly.
7 The operator's manual and programming manual
supplied with a CNC unit provide an overall
description of the machine's functions, including any
optional functions. Note that the optional functions
will vary from one machine model to another.
Therefore, some functions described in the manuals
may not actually be available for a particular model.
Check the specification of the machine if in doubt.
8 Some functions may have been implemented at the
request of the machine-tool builder. When using
such functions, refer to the manual supplied by the
machine-tool builder for details of their use and any
related cautions. Refer to the following two
examples.
<1> Some machines have a tool replacement
device that operates when a tool feature is
executed. When the user is working near the
device, he or she may touch it. Execute tool
features in a place sufficiently away from the
tool replacement device.
<2> Many auxiliary features cause machine
operation such as rotation of the spindle.
Understand the operations of auxiliary features
before using them.
s-4
NOTE
Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC unit.
Usually, they are retained even if the power is turned
off. Such data may be delated inadvertently,
however, or it may prove necessary to delete all data
from nonvolatile memory as part of error recovery.
To guard against the occurrence of the above, and
assure quick restoration of deleted data, backup all
vital data, and keep the backup copy in a safe place.

1.2 MASTER FUNCTION
The master function consists of the following function:
(1) DI/DO data transfer function
NOTE
FANUC I/O Link-II (master function) uses the
following services of OPCN-1:
(1) Initialization service
(2) Input/output service
(3) Reset service
- 11 -
1.3 SLAVE FUNCTION
The slave function consists of the following functions:

(1) DI/DO data transfer function
(2) Global I/O transfer function (FANUC unique function)
(3) Capability of turning on and off the power to a slave station at
any time without affecting communications performed by other
devices
NOTE
FANUC I/O Link-II (slave function) uses the following
services of OPCN-1:
(1) Initialization service
(2) Input/output service
(3) Reset service
About the global I/O transfer function:

The figure below shows DI/DO data transfer performed between a
master station and slave stations #1 to #N. Suppose that a slave
station using the global I/O transfer function is a local slave station,
and the other slave stations are remote slave stations. Then, the local
slave station (#2) can receive DO data sent from the master station
and can also receive DO data sent to the master station from the
remote slave stations. So, the local slave station can make a ladder
reference.
Master
station
Slave station #1 Slave station #2 Slave station #3 Slave station #N

[Remote slave [Local slave [Remote slave [Remote slave
station] station] station] station]
DO data from slave stations #1 to #N (excluding #2)
NOTE
The global I/O transfer function is not a function
defined by OPCN-1 but a FANUC unique function.
This function can be used even when the network
includes products of other manufacturers (even as a
master station). In this case, however, the size of
data that can be transferred is limited.

Input data when viewed from the local station (master station or slave
station)(Caution)
DO data
Output data when viewed from the local station (master station or
slave station)(Caution)
CAUTION
In the OPCN-1 specifications, data input/output is
defined as data input/output viewed from the master
station. Note that the use of the term in this manual
for slave stations is opposite to the definition in the
OPCN-1 specifications.
For communication with devices of other
manufacturers, check the definition of data
input/output.
DI/DO data transfer function

Function for exchanging DI/DO data between the master station and
slave stations of I/O Link-II. This function is implemented by
input/output service of OPCN-1.
Global I/O transfer function

FANUC unique function. When DI/DO data is exchanged between
the master station and multiple slave stations, a slave station receives
DO data sent from the other slave stations to the master station, thus
achieving I/O transfer between the slave stations.
Successive error detach detection counter

Maximum allowable number of successive communication errors.
When this maximum number is exceeded, a detachment is detected.

Restrictions on the global I/O transfer function
Conditions for taking in DO data from a remote slave station to the master
station
When the two conditions below are satisfied, DO data from a remote
slave station to the master station is taken in.
Condition 1 : 48 bytes ≥ x bytes ≥ y bytes
where
x: Size of DI data from the master station to the local slave
station
y: Size of DO data from a remote slave station to the master
station
Condition 2 : Station m ≥ Station n
where
m: [MAX SLAVE NO] set at the local slave station
n: Station number of a remote slave station
Example:
When the station number of the local slave station is 2, there are
five remote slave stations, and each slave station is set as
follows:
- Setting of slave station #1: DO data size = 16 bytes
- Setting of slave station #2: [MAX SLAVE NO] = 4,
[STATION NO] = 2, [DI/DO MAP MODE] =2, [DI/DO
DATA SIZE] = 32
According to the restrictions on global I/O transfer:
- Slave station #4 does not satisfy condition 1.
So, slave station #2 takes in only DO data from slave station #1
to the master station and DO data from slave station #3 to the
master station.

1.3 DATA CONCURRENCY
When DI data is handled by a ladder program, the I/O Link-II function

guarantees the concurrency of data on a byte-by-byte basis, but does
not guarantee the concurrency of multiple bytes of data.
The I/O Link-II function does not exchanges data in synchronism with
a ladder program, so that the function does not guarantees the
concurrency of DI data consisting of 2 bytes or more. This means that
when a ladder program reads 2-byte DI data, for example, the higher
byte and lower byte of the data may be updated at different timings.
Example where concurrency is not guaranteed

When the 2-byte data 1234 (hex) is entered from the I/O Link-II board
to the area R0300 set to the value 0000 (hex), the ladder program may
read the value 0034 (hex).

34
R0300 00 34
12 If the ladder program reads R0300
during this period, 0034 (hex) is read.
R0300 12 34
Example of countermeasure: Control using synchronization flags

Concurrency can be guaranteed by providing a synchronization flag
before and after multi-byte data and synchronizing the data with the
flags. An example of guaranteeing the concurrency of 6-byte data is
given below.
(1) Data structure

A synchronization flag is prepared at the byte position preceding
the 6-byte data and at the byte position following the 6-byte data,
thus allocating an 8-byte area in total.
R0099 Synchronization flag 1
R0100
: Data section
R0105
(2) Processing on the data write side

The data is updated using the procedure below.
1 Synchronization flag 1 is incremented.
2 The data section is updated.
3 The same value as set in synchronization flag 1 is set in
synchronization flag 2.
- 42 -
(3) Processing on the data read side

The data is processed using the procedure below.
1 At the start of the second level, the 8 bytes are copied from
R0099 to the synchronization area R0199.
2 A check is made to see if R0199 = R0206.
3 If R0199 = R0206, R0200 is handled as 6-byte data.
CAUTION
If the size of the data section to be synchronized is
increased by combining multiple bytes of data,
synchronization may become difficult.
In such a case, divide the data section on a
variable-by-variable basis before setting
synchronization flags.

DI/DO data allocation of the master function
DO data allocation
A DO data area can be set for each slave station according to [DO
ADDR] and [DO SIZ].
NOTE
A DO data area can be shared by slave stations by
setting the same DO data area start address and the
same DO data area size for each slave station.
DI data allocation
A DI data area can be set for each slave station according to [DI
ADDR] and [DI SIZ].
CAUTION
No DI data area can be shared by slave stations.
Example:
A 32-byte DO data area for slave station #1 is allocated starting
at R0100, a 32-byte DI data area for slave station #1 is allocated
starting at R0300, a 48-byte DO data area for slave station #2 is
allocated starting at R0200, and a 48-byte DI data area for slave

CONNECTION
This chapter provides information required for I/O Link-II connection.
CAUTION
For conditions on using equipment other than the
board, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.
For network installation, care must be taken to
protect against noise sources. Provide a sufficient
space to separate noise sources such as power
lines and motors electrically from the network
cabling, and also ground each device. If the
impedance of ground is too high for sufficient
grounding, a communication error can occur. Before
actual operation after equipment installation,
conduct a communication test for confirmation.
FANUC is not liable for network trouble that arises
from equipment other than the board.

1.4.1 Separating Signal Lines
The signal cables belong to group C. For the method of separating the
signal cables from Groups A and B, refer to the connection manual
(B-63003EN, etc.) of each CNC.
1.4.2 Cable Clamps and Shielding
All cables that are run into the CNC unit and require shielding must
be clamped as shown below. The Ethernet twisted pair cable must
also be shielded in this way. This clamping serves not only to secure
cables but also to perform shielding, and therefore is extremely
important to stable system operation. Be sure to clamp the cables.
Peel off part of the cable cover as shown in the figure to expose the
outer coating of the shield, and press the outer coating against the
ground plate with the clamp fixture.
The machine tool builder must prepare a ground plate and install it as
follows:

NOTE
Connect 0V on the machine power supply to 0V on
the control unit (CM41-A10, B10, CM42-A10, B10).
Do not make a ground connection on the machine
side.
(3) When an inductive load such as a machine-side relay is

connected, be sure to attach a spark killer. Ensure that a spark
killer is inserted as close as possible (within 20 cm) to the load.
When a capacitive load is connected to the machine side,
current-limiting resistors must be inserted in series, and the
machine must be used within the rated current and voltage
including momentary current and voltage.
(4) When lamps are lit directly by transistor output, rush current
may flow and damage the transistor. For this reason, provide a
protection circuit as shown above, and use the machine within
the rated current and voltage including momentary current and
voltage.

B-62714EN/04 CONNECTION 6.Power Mate i-D/H
6.1 SPECIFICATIONS
With the Power Mate i, the I/O Link-II slave board and I/O Link-II
slave board B are used. These two types of slave boards differ in the
interface connector.
The specifications of the I/O Link-II slave board are as follows:

Name I/O Link-II slave board
Ordering code A02B-0259-J210
Interface connector Connector manufactured by Phoenix Contact
24 VDC ±10%, 0.3 A (to be supplied from the
Power supply capacity

NOTE
The installation condition of the two types of slave
boards above is the same as the installation
condition (intra-cabinet environment condition) of
the main CNC unit.
Interface connector
Power Mate i
I/O Link-II board
Interface connector
I/O Link-II
TBA
The interface connector for the I/O Link-II board of the Power Mate i
is a 5-pin connector, and two I/O Link-II cable wires are installed.
Terminating resistors are built into the I/O Link-II board. So, connect
T1 with T2 by using a wire.
- 145 -
NOTE
1 This interface is based on the three-wire system,
with two FGs omitted from the 7-pin terminal block.
Perform cable clamping and shielding with clamp
fixtures.
2 When the I/O Link-II slave board is used, the
interface connector must be detached (with the
communication cable connected) before the base
printed circuit board can be installed or removed.
When I/O Link-II slave board B is used, the base
printed circuit board can be installed or removed
without detaching the interface connector if the
communication cable is not disturbing.
3 On the communication cable, attach a ferrite core as
close as possible to the connector TBA (to improve
noise protection).
Differences between the slave board and slave board B

Compared with the I/O Link-II slave board, I/O Link-II slave board B
has improved functions. However, I/O Link-II slave board B is not
compatible with the I/O Link-II slave board. I/O Link-II slave board B
differs from the I/O Link-II slave board as described below.
(1) When the DI/DO data transfer function is used, the DI/DO size is
extended from 62 bytes/62 bytes to 128 bytes/128 bytes.
Moreover, the allocation area is changed from X/Y addresses to
R addresses.
(2) The communication connector and the method of communication
cable connection are changed. Wires, after crimped to a special
crimp terminal with a crimping tool compliant with JIS C9711,
are inserted into a plug. When a wrong wiring is made, a rod of
Φ1 mm can be used for extraction. A plug (cable-side connector)
is delivered with I/O Link-II slave board B. However, a crimp
terminal (A02B-0259-K211) must be ordered separately. For line
expansion, an additional crimp terminal is required.
(3) The I/O Link-II slave board imposes a restriction on the
installation and removal of the base printed circuit board of the
Power Mate i. On the other hand, I/O Link-II slave board B does
not impose such a restriction.
- 146 -
NOTE
1 If I/O Link-II slave board B and I/O Link-II board B of
the CNC are placed on the same line, the global I/O
transfer function does not operate normally on the
I/O Link-II board of the Power Mate i. (The DI/DO
data transfer function can operate normally.)
2 If I/O Link-II slave board B and I/O Link-II board
B1/B2 of the CNC are on the same line, the global
I/O transfer function does not operate normally on
the I/O Link-II board of the Power Mate-D/F/H. (The
DI/DO data transfer function can operate normally.)
Differences from the I/O Link-II board of Power Mate-D/F/H

The I/O Link-II slave board and I/O Link-II slave board B differ from
the I/O Link-II board of Power Mate-D/H as described below.
(1) No relay terminal unit and branch cable are required.
(2) A 5-pin communication connector is used.
(3) No built-in DI/DO is available on the board. (The DI/DO:32/24
built into the main unit can be used.)
(4) The I/O Link-II slave board and I/O Link-II slave board B are CE
mark-compliant.
