(1)This manual does not cover the functions on the NC side.
(2)The function of an NC machine tool system does not depend only on
the NC, but on the combination of the machine tool, its magnetic
cabinet, servo system, the NC, operator’s panels, etc. It is too difficult
to describe the function, programming, and operation in various
combinations of them. This manual generally describes them from the
standpoint of the NC. So, for a particular NC machine tool, refer to
the manual issued by the machine tool builder, which should take
precedence over this manual.
(3)Notes refer to detailed and specific items. So, when a note will be
encountered, terms used in it sometimes will not have been explained
it. In such a case, first skip the note, then return to it after having read
the manual in outline for details.
(4)For 16–T CAP II, the manual covers only the 5710 system and the
5800 system series and later. The earlier series may not support some
functions described in the manual. See Appendix 2 for the
unsupported functions.
