Restrictions on connecting αi spindle amplifier with
FS16i/18i/21i/160i/180i/210i/160is/180is /210is –MODEL B
1. Restrictions
In the case of connecting αi spindle amplifier with FS16i/18i/21i/160i/180i/210i
/160is/180is/210is -MODEL B, which are currently shipped, it has been found that there is
a possibility that the following functions cannot be used.
(1) Display of spindle amplifier ID.
The information of the spindle amplifier ID cannot be registered on the ID
information screen. The ID cannot be read out via PMC window.
(Note: The ID cannot be read out via PMC window from the beginning.)
(2) Display of the temperature of spindle motor.
The information concerned with the temperature cannot be displayed.
The information of the temperature cannot be read out via PMC window.
(3) The details of spindle alarm.
Display of spindle alarm will be the same as former one, and expanded alarm cannot
be displayed.
(4) Measurement of Spindle data by
i TUNE
Spindle data cannot be measured by
i TUNE.
These functions are expanded functions which are applied from
i series MODEL B.
However, in the custom LSI for serial spindle control on CNC, the adaptation to these
expanded function are insufficient. Therefore the restrictions above came out.
There are no restrictions in other functions.
2. Measures
Currently, FANUC is going on with the revision of the hardware. It is scheduled that the
expanded functions described above will be able to be used with the hardware shipped after
middle of January, 2002. (In case of the unit with SUB CPU, it will be in the middle of
April.)
We appreciate your understanding and accepting these restrictions described above.
Incidentally, ID information of spindle, which is manually input by the customer will not be
erased by these restrictions.
There is no problem in the function concerned with the α
i servo amplifier and motor.
