Cautions
Each CNC function key remembers a subscreen previously displayed
with it.
When a function key other than the currently active function key is
pressed, the subscreen previously displayed with the pressed function
key appears. A concrete example follows.
<1> A screen select soft key corresponding to the “POSITION
function key” is used to display custom screen A. The
POSITION function key will memorize that it is displaying
screen A.
↓
<2> On custom screen A, pressing the SYSTEM function key causes
screen switching to the screen (say, parameter screen) memorized
by the SYSTEM function key.
↓
<3> Pressing the POSITION function key displays custom screen A,
which is memorized in this function key.
If switching to a CNC-side screen is performed by other than the
function key to which custom screen A was assigned as shown above,
switching to a sub screen other than custom screen A under the
POSITION function key becomes impossible as shown in step <3>.
When using a function key to switch from a custom screen to a
CNC-side screen, make sure that the function key is the one assigned
to the custom screen. In the above example, the POSITION key is
used to switch to the CNC screen.
This is also true for the CUSTOM function key. However, no
inconvenience will be experienced because there is no CNC-provided
screen under the CUSTOM function key. For an explanation of
allocation to the CUSTOM function key and notes, see Subsection
2.2.9.3.
