5.2 RESTRICTIONS,CAUTIONS
Restriction or note Remarks
Tests of connecting the touch panel operator’s panel to the CNC/PMC
must be conducted after storing FP driver software and screen data to the
CNC.
If you select to store screen data, the screen data must not exceed the
main custom size. Otherwise, a shortage of memory is reported with an
alarm when a screen is displayed on the CNC screen.
If not all screens can be stored in memory, all screens may be displayed
by specifying whether to free memory for each screen.
If you specify that memory should be freed for a created screen, this
screen is displayed more slowly than if a screen stored in DRAM memory
is displayed because the necessary data is read from FROM to display
that screen.
If getting a target CNC ready, select a
DRAM/FROM module slightly larger than
necessary.
For frequently used screens, store screen
data; for infrequently used ones, free
memory.
If many controls that perform dynamic operation, such as lamp, button,
character string, and numeral indication controls, are used on the touch
panel, response will be slow because the display update period increases.
If this occurs, reduce the number of controls used so that the operator
does not feel stress in touch panel operation.
If getting a target CNC ready, specify a
high-speed CPU card.
The maximum number of work files that can be generated during MEM
generation is 5000. If a dialog box indicating this appears, reduce the total
number of controls in the project.
Only one key input buffer control can be used in the parent and child
screens on a single screen.
Only one clock control can be used on one screen.
Only one screen definition control can be used on one screen.
On the character string setting popup screen of a PMC character string
indication control, numeral indication controls with key input cannot be
used.
The maximum allowable total number of buttons and numeral indicators
(including those with popup ten-key pad input and with key input) per
parent or child screen is 200.
Input and output signals to and from a control can be specified in the
property setting items such as X, Y, F, and G. In reality, there are some
that cannot be written from the touch panel operator’s panel because of
signal characteristics. Thus, select a proper signal area considering these
characteristics.
If FANUC PICTURE is used together with C applications, too much load
on alarm task processing affects the screen display speed of the main
task. The customer is responsible for the necessary design and
adjustment to avoid this.
A user-defined function call affects the screen display speed. The
customer is responsible for the necessary design and adjustment to avoid
this.
If a popup ten-key pad or a popup screen is displayed, only the popup
screen section last displayed is active. The service on the called screen in
the background is stopped.
If controls whose color or shape change due to the on/off states of signals,
as well as numeral/character string indication controls, overlap with each
other, the overlapping section will be painted by the display changes.
Remove any overlapping of competing controls.
