1. OVERVIEW B–62443EN–2/01
1.1 The loader control option is connected to the Series 16/18 as shown
below.
SYSTEM
Axis control for the machine is performed by the main CPU board, while
CONFIGURATION that for the loader is performed by a dedicated Loader Control Board
(LCB). The PMC of the main CPU unit (option 3 board when a PMC–RC
is used) controls the machine, while the PMC of the LCB controls the
loader. Input/output signals are stored in the LCB, and are fed directly to
the main loader unit, workpiece feeder, and loader operator’s panel.
The major tasks involved in building this system are:
(1) Adding the loader control board (LCB) to the CNC (using one slot
exclusively).
(2) Mounting and wiring servo amplifiers and an emergency stop control
circuit in the power magnetics cabinet.
(3) Connecting the loader to the workpiece feeder via cables.
(4) Connecting the operator’s panel.
(5) Creating loader control related functions by using PMC programs.
(6) Creating palletizing and teaching functions by using macros.
(7) Creating (teaching) the loader operation programs.

1.2 When the loader control option is installed and used in a system, sequence
control is required to enable interfacing with the peripherals, as well as
INSTALLING THE for loader operation. Generally, the required control specifications vary
LOADER CONTROL from one system to another. So, the functions required for each system
FUNCTIONS must be installed. In practice, the PMC and macro executor are used to
implement the required functions.
The PMC that is built into the loader control board performs the sequence
logic required to control the loader. The PMC supports functions
equivalent to the PMC–RA1 of the Series 18.
Between the loader control CPU and the PMC, an F/G area interface is
provided, in the same way as for an ordinary CNC. The loader supports
modes similar to those supported by an ordinary NC. For example,
manual mode must be set for manual loader operation, and memory mode
must be set for automatic loader operation. In addition, a specified speed
can be overridden by entering the DI override signal. Thus, loader
operation requires the use of ladder programs, in the same way as an
ordinary NC.
The PMC is also used to enable synchronous operation of the machine and
loader. For example, the PMC is used to start the loader when machining
ends, and to start machining once the loader has fed the workpiece into
the chuck of the machine.
Using custom macros or a macro executor, very complicated loader axis
operations, such as workpiece palletizing/depalletizing, can be
programmed easily. In some cases, complicated workpiece feeder control
operations can be simplified by using macros. Macro–based control
reduces the number of PMC steps, making macro–based control
advantageous even when the PMC is being used at maximum capacity.
Even for macro–based control, however, DI/DO signal transfer must be
programmed using the PMC. Note that the loader control macro
programs are provided in a ROM module in the case of the Series
16/18–MODEL A, and in an FROM (flash memory) module in the case
of the Series 16/18–MODEL B. The ROM or FROM module is installed
on the loader control board.
The following table lists typical operations to which the PMC and macro
executor can be applied.

The DI/DO signals listed below are used for loader control. These DI/DO
signals are stored in the loader control board. In an application system
that requires additional DI/DO signals, an I/O link interface is available
to enable external I/O expansion.

2.3 The loader operator’s panel is used to jog the loader and perform teaching.
For the loader operator’s panel, the I/O signals described below are stored
CONNECTING THE on the loader control board.
LOADER
OPERATOR’S PANEL
2.3.1 DI = 8 points (+24 V contact signal input)

Outline DO = 6 points (LED drive sink output)
DO = 4 points (common voltage drive source output)
DI = 1 point (+24 V contact signal input, emergency stop input signal)
These I/O signals are used for loader operator’s panel switch input and
driving LED indicators.
The common voltage drive source output is provided to interface with
switches and LEDs connected in matrix format. The use of a matrix
format enables the number of input and output points to be increased to
32 and 24, respectively. In this case, the system software supports control
of the common voltage drive source output for matrix scanning, so that
no PMC program is required. Bit 1 of parameter No. 7902 is used to
specify whether to use a matrix connection.

Signals
Operator’s panel input [Classification] Contact signal input, tied to common 24 V
signals [Function] These signals, used with common voltage drive
TDI01 to TDI08 source output signals TCOM1 to TCOM4, are used
to scan a key matrix. In this case, key scanning for
up to 32 (8 x 4) keys can be performed. When no
matrix is used, TDI01 to TDI08 can be used as
individual DI signals.
Operator’s panel output [Classification] Transistor sink output, 24 V/200 mA load
signals [Function] These signals, used with common voltage drive
TDO01 to TDO06 source output signals TCOM1 to TCOM4, are used
to scan an LED matrix. In this case, dynamic on/off
control can be applied to up to 24 (6 x 4) LEDs at
16–msec intervals with a duty cycle of 4:1. See
Section 2.4 for details of the required connection.
When no matrix is used, TDO01 to TDO06 can be
used as individual DO signals.
Common voltage drive [Classification] Transistor source output, 24 V/200 mA load
output signals [Function] These signals are used to drive the common voltage
TCOM1 to TCOM4 signals when a matrix is created. When these signals
are set to 1 by the PMC, 24 V is output to the signal
pin. This signal can drive up to 8 contact signal
inputs and up to 6 LEDs. The total load current,
however, must not exceed 200 mA. To drive the
contact signal inputs, 8 mA/point is required. This
means that up to 22 mA can be drawn by each LED.
When a matrix is not used, TCOM1 to TCOM4 can
be used as individual DO (source output) signals.
Emergency stop input [Classification] Contact signal input used for emergency stop
signals [Function] The contact signal from the emergency stop button
*ESPTP1, *ESPTP2 on the operator’s panel is connected in series with
*LOT within the board to drive the externally
mounted emergency stop relay. See Section 2.5 for
details of this connection. Connect contact B of the
emergency stop button on the loader operator’s panel
to *ESPTP1 and *ESPTP2.
If this connection is broken, the loader performs an
emergency stop. When this connector is not used,
install a dummy connector to enable signal
processing, as shown below.

Signals
General–purpose input [Classification] Contact signal input
signals LDI01 to LDI04 can be switched between 24 V
LDI01 to LDI06 common voltage and 0 V common voltage. LDI05
and LDI06 are tied to 24 V common voltage.
[Function] Six input signals are provided as interface signals.
These can be used, for example, for checking whether
the hand mounted on the tip of the loader is open or
closed. These signals can be used for general purpose
applications, depending on the function demanded of
the mechanical unit of the loader. When an
incremental pulse coder is used, and a reference
position return operation is needed, LDI01 to LDI04
are used as deceleration signals *DEC1 to *DEC4.
When the skip function is used, LDI05 is used as the
skip signal. These signals are directly referenced by
the CNC that exercises loader control. When,
however, reference position return and skip
operations are not required, the PMC can use these
signals for general purpose applications.
General–purpose input [Classification] Common voltage selection
signal common voltage [Function] When COMLD is connected to 0V, LDI01 to LDI04
selection function as 24 V common voltage input signals.
COMLD When COMLD is connected to +24E, LDI01 to
LDI04 function as 0 V common voltage input
signals. Note that the signal polarity also changes
accordingly. That is, when LDI01 to LDO04 are
functioning as 24 V common voltage signals, logic
1 corresponds to the contact being closed; when
LDI01 to LDO04 are functioning as 0 V common
voltage signals, logic 0 corresponds to the contact
being closed.
General–purpose output [Classification] Transistor sink output, 24 V/200 mA load
signals [Function] For the control of operations such as opening/closing
LDO01 to LDO08 the hand mounted on the tip of the loader and air
blow, 8 output signals are provided. These signals
can be used for general purpose applications as
required.
Loader overtravel signal [Classification] Contact signal input used for emergency stop, tied to
*LOT common 24 V
20
[Function] The emergency stop input signal stops the loader

immediately in situations such as loader overtravel
(detected by hardware) or hand destruction. B
contact point input is assumed. So, ensure that 24 V
is applied in the normal state. When this DI signal is
read in the normal state, a value of 1 is read. When
this signal is turned off (when the contact opens), this
DI signal changes to 0, and the *EMG1 signal of the
CNPW connector is turned off. Then, the externally
mounted emergency stop control relay is turned off
to shut down the MCC of the servo system. This
shutdown state continues for as long as *LOT is off.
To enable this state to be released temporarily, the
OTR signal is provided. See Section 2.6 for further
information.
General–purpose [Classification] Contact signal input, switchable between common
workpiece feeder input 24 V and 0 V
signals [Function] For workpiece feeder interfacing, 8 input signals are
FDI01 to FDI08 provided. These signals can also be used for general
purpose applications, depending on the function
demanded of the mechanical unit of the loader. These
signals are also applied to a separate connector,
CNWF, connected in parallel.
signal common voltage [Function] When COMWF is connected to 0V, FDI01 to FDI08
selection for the function as 24 V common voltage input signals.
workpiece feeder When COMWF is connected to +24E, FDI01 to
FDI08 function as 0 V common voltage input
COMWF signals. Note that the signal polarity also changes
accordingly. That is, when FDI01 to FDI08 are
FDI01 to FDI08 are functioning as 0 V common
being closed. This signal is also applied to a separate
connector, CNWF, connected in parallel.
General–purpose [Classification] Transistor sink output, 24 V/200 mA load
workpiece feeder output [Function] For workpiece feeder interfacing, 8 output signals are
signals provided. These signals can also be used for general
FDO01 to FDO08 purpose applications, depending on the function

EMERGENCY STOP
SYSTEM
CONNECTION
2.6.1 The emergency stop control circuit has the functions listed below, and
Outline exercises control such that the servo drive power is turned off by hardware
when an emergency stop is required.
1 Control of the servo amplifier MCC (electromagnetic contactor for

turning on/off the motor power line)
2 Control of the brake mounted on each loader axis
These control functions are required to ensure safety. The machine
usually supports similar functions. For the loader also, the machine tool
builder may devise a proprietary circuit to provide the control functions
explained above. An emergency stop control unit that can be used with
the C series servo amplifier is available as an option from FANUC. A
machine tool builder may, however, wish to incorporate the ememergency
stop control circuit into the power magnetic circuit. In such a case,
conform to the specifications given in this section.

C series servo amplifier is shown in Section 2.6.2. The signal, *LOT,
from the limit switch for detecting loader overtravel passes through the
emergency stop button on the loader operator’s panel, then drives relay
RY1 in the emergency stop control unit. When external emergency stop
conditions need to be set, a pin, provided before relay RY1, can be used
to insert a contact in series. Jumper the pin when the pin is not required.
Normally, relay RY1 is on. When an emergency stop condition arises,
relay RY1 is turned off, such that contact ry1 turns off the 100 VAC
supply. This loss of the 100 VAC supply turns off the servo amplifier
contactor (MCC), causing the servo drive power to be turned off by the
hardware. At the same time, the 100 VDC supply is also turned off,
turning off the power to, and thus actuating, the brake.
When an α series servo amplifier is being used, the same basic concept
applies. Note, however, that an MCC for controlling the motor power line
and a driving power supply must be installed external to the servo
amplifier, and that an emergency stop contact must be connected to the
power supply module.
Signals to the loader control PMC are transferred through the receiver
circuit, as shown in the diagram. *LOT is the loader overtravel detection
signal, and *EMG1 is the emergency stop signal from the loader
operator’s panel. Note that the circuit is configured such that when *LOT
is turned on, *ESPTP is also turned on. Using a PMC ladder program,
copy *EMG1 to emergency stop input G008.4 of the loader CNC.
30
If loader overtravel is detected, an emergency stop is performed as

described above. The servo power is turned off, and the brake is actuated,
thus preventing return from the overtravel. To overcome this, the
overtravel release signal OTR can be used. When OTR is turned on, +24
V is forcibly applied to the *LOT line to release the emergency stop state.
Jog the loader until *LOT is turned off. Note that the emergency stop
button on the loader operator’s panel is enabled even while this operation
is being performed. OTR ignores *LOT. So, for safety, program the
following logic with the PMC:

DI/DO INTERFACE
2.8.1 A PMC for loader control is built into the loader control board. The PMC
Outline has functions equivalent to PMC–RA1 of the Series 18. The development
environment used with the PMC–RA1 is used. The I/O signals handled
by the PMC are classified into three groups.
1 Loader control board built–in I/O signals
2 Signals for interfacing with the machine PMC
3 I/O signals connected, through an I/O link, to the loader control board
The signals of 1 are stored in the X/Y area, which is directly accessed by
the PMC.
The signals of 2 are periodically transferred by system software from
within the G/F area of the machine PMC to the G/F area of the loader
PMC, or vice versa.
The signals of 3 are used as additional I/O signals, transferred using the
FANUC I/O link when the signals of 1 alone are insufficient to configure
a system.
The figure below illustrates the relationships between these I/O signals
and PMCs. As shown below, the loader control PMC and machine control
PMC operate independently of each other. In addition, the PMCs share
signals for synchronous operation.

2.8.3 The interface signals used between the CNC, built into the loader control
Signals for Interfacing board, and the loader control PMC conform to the specifications for the
ordinary Series 16/18 PMC interface signals. This means that, for the

Control CNC as that for the machine PMC. Note, however, that not all signals can
actually be used for loader control. For details, see Section 2.8.4.

Clearing the RAM module of a PMC at power–on

<X> + <0> Clears the RAM module of the NC PMC.
<X> + <5> Clears the RAM module of the loader PMC.
Notes
1 <X> + <0> clears the RAM module of the NC PMC only. With
previous versions, <0> + <X> cleared the RAM modules of
both the NC PMC and loader PMC at the same time. With
the current version, the loader control option for the Series
16/18–MODEL B clears the RAM modules individually.
2 These memory clear operations do not clear macro RAM.
Instead, RAM is cleared when macro programs are
transferred by the P–code loader. The loader control option
for the Series 16/18–MODEL B clears macro RAM
unconditionally at power–on.

STARTING THE
LOADER CONTROL
3.2.1 The boot system load the CNC system software (flash RAM ⇒ DRAM),
Boot system for then start it so that software can be executed.
Series
16/18–MODEL B
D Overview The boot system provides the following maintenance functions for the
CNC:
(1) Registering a file in flash memory
D Reads a file from a memory card, in MS–DOS format conforming to
JEIDA V4.1, into flash memory.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in flash memory
(3) Deleting a file from flash memory
(4) Batch saving and restoration of files of parameters and programs
backed up by battery (SRAM area), to and from a memory card
(5) Saving a file in flash memory to a memory card
(6) Formatting of a memory card
(7) Deleting a file from a memory card
A kind of memory card

For the 60M1/05 and later versions, data can be saved to
a flash memory card recommended by FANUC. Note,
however, that the actually available memory is equal to the
capacity of the flash memory card, minus 128 KB.
D Starting the Boot System In ordinary system activation, the boot system automatically transfers
files from flash memory to DRAM in the background.
The user is not aware of this operation. However, the boot system must
be operated manually, from menu screen, when maintenance is to be
carried out or when the flash memory does not contain a required file.
1 In system maintenance, for example, to replace a file in memory
ÂÂÂ
ÂÂ
Operation : Turn the power on by simultaneously pressing the two soft
keys at the right end.
ÂÂÂ
ÂÂ
Hold down the two keys until the boot system screen appears.
2 When the flash memory does not contain a file required to start the
CNC
Immediately after the CNC is turned on, the boot system starts
transferring files from flash memory to DRAM. If, for some reason,
a file required to start the CNC (NC basic) is not in flash memory or
has been destroyed, the boot system is automatically started.
D System Files and User The boot system organizes files in flash memory into two main groups :
Files system files and user files. These two file types have the following
characteristics :
63
System files
CNC and servo control software provided by FANUC
User files
PMC sequence program (ladder), P–CODE macro
program, and other user–created files
D Boot Slot Configuration

Screen
(1) This function can be used from 60M1/02 version or later.
When the CNC includes OPT2 board or LCB, we have to access to
flash memory or SRAM that mounted on additional board. So, the
boot system displays BOOT SLOT CONFIGURATION screen that
to select a access board.

Notes
1 The LCB (loader control board) also features a memory card
interface. However, only the main board interface is used
with the boot system.
2 The memory card interface of the LCB is used only for
inserting a PMC ladder editing card. A ladder editing card
can be inserted only while the power is turned off. For
details of ladder editing, refer to the ”FANUC PMC Ladder
Language Programming Manual (B–61863E).”
3 Store only a P–code macro file for loader control in the flash
ROM on the LCB. Store a ladder software file in the flash
ROM on the main board. The table below lists loader control
files and their locations.

the dual–system option is used), is used.
83
3.2.3
When Loader Control
is Added
1 Hold down both the <CAN> and <5> keys, and turn on the power.
All loader memory areas are cleared. (The NC memory is not affected.)
At this time, the symptom described in 2 of Section 3.2.2 arises.
To check that the NC starts, set bit 7 of parameter No. 8100 to 1, then turn the power off then back on.
2 The subsequent operations are the same as in 3 through 6 of Section 3.2.2.
[Explanation]
D Why memory must be cleared:
When the memory power is not turned on, the states of the
bits are undefined. If RAM is read in such a state, there is
very high probability that a RAM parity alarm will be issued.
(If an NC parity error occurs, an alarm between No. 910 and
No. 919 is issued. If a loader parity error occurs, alarm No.
972 is issued.)
D When the macro executor RAM must be inserted into the
loader control board (with the loader for the Series
16/18–MODEL A only)
The RAM board for macro executor debugging is not
cleared by turning on the power. So, a RAM parity error may
occur if the RAM board is not cleared. However, macro RAM
is cleared by activating the P–code loader. This means that
the RAM board can be inserted at any time after the RAM
is cleared at power–on and or at macro RAM clear using the
P–code loader.
84
3.2.4 For loader control, the following parameters must always be set as
Special Parameters to described below.
be Set
Bit 7 of parameter When bit 7 of parameter No. 8100 is set to 0, servo motor activation is
No. 8100 simultaneously started for all axes after activation of all servo motors on
the NC and loader sides has become possible. So, if the emergency stop
state is set, or a servo alarm is issued on a loader control axis because of
incorrect servo parameter setting, for example, the NC holds reset
processing. That is, the NC cannot exit from reset processing until
activation on the loader control side has become possible.
When bit 7 of parameter No. 8100 is set to 1, synchronous activation is
not performed, activation instead being started independently. So, the NC
need not hold reset processing.
So, when the loader is to be started after the NC has successfully started,
set bit 7 of parameter No. 8100 to 1 for both the NC and loader. If this
bit is set to 0, the NC does not exit from reset processing after power–on
until the emergency stop state is released and provided no servo alarms
are issued for any axis.
In cases where the NC and loader share a two–axis amplifier so that the
NC uses one axis and the loader uses the other, however, always set this
bit to 0.
Bit 3 of parameter Set bit 3 of parameter No. 3003 to 1. Otherwise, movement along any axis
No. 3003 may not be possible.
Bit 4 of parameter Set bit 4 of parameter No. 3402 to 1. Otherwise, cutting feed may not be
No. 3402 performed normally.
Bit 5 of parameter This bit is used to ignore hardware overtravel.

No. 3004 When the overtravel limit signals (G110, G112) are not used, and bit 5 of
parameter No. 3004 is set to 1, overtravel alarms 506 and 507 are not

D The M code must be specified in a single block as shown below:
Mm ;
m: Waiting M code number
2) Three–path wait function
A system featuring a two–path (TT) NC and loader control can use
a three–path wait function.
The range of three–path waiting M codes is specified in the main and
loader parameters (parameters 8110 and 8111) in the same way as the
range of two–path waiting M codes is specified.
D A wait pattern is specified after address P in the same block as the
waiting M code. Address P is used to distinguish a three–path wait
from a two–path wait.
D The M code must be specified in a single block, as shown below:

1 M101 P3; (wait between tool posts 1 and 2)

If the wait ignore signal of tool post 2 was set to 0, tool posts 1 and 2
would wait for each other. In this example, however, the wait ignore
signal of tool post 2 is set to 1. When executing the waiting M code,
tool posts 1 and 2 immediately assume that the wait has been
completed and execute the next instruction.
Tool posts 1 and 2 do not wait for each other.
2 M102 P7; (Wait by tool post 1, tool post 2, and loader)
In this example, the loader waits until the processing being performed
by tool posts 1 and 2 terminates.
Because the wait ignore signal of tool post 2 is set to 1, the loader waits
until the processing of tool post 1 ends, then executes the next
instruction.
3 M103 P7; (Wait by tool post 1, tool post 2, and loader)
In this example, tool posts 1 and 2 wait until the processing being
performed by the loader terminates.
Because the wait ignore signal is set to 1, tool post 2 does not wait until
the loader processing terminates, instead proceeding to the next step.
Tool post 1 waits for the loader.
D Signals Two–path wait ignore signal
88
NOWT <G063, bit 1>

[Classification] Input signal
[Function] Specifies whether to execute a two–path wait with an
M code.
[Operation] 0: A two–path wait with an M code is executed.
1: A two–path wait with an M code is not executed.
Three–path wait ignore signal
NMWT <G063, bit 7>
[Function] A three–path waiting M code can be ignored.
[Operation] 0: A three–path waiting M code is valid. The tool
post or loader of another path will wait for the tool
post or loader of this path.
1: A three–path waiting M code is invalid. When the
waiting M code is executed, it is assumed that the
wait has been completed. Therefore, the tool post
or loader of another path will not wait for the tool
post or loader of this path.
D When a program including a multipath waiting M
code is executed automatically, this signal is used
to stop a tool post or loader while automatic
operation is being performed by the other tool
post or loader. The wait ignore signal for the tool
post or loader to be stopped must be set to 1.
Waiting signal (for both two–path and three–path waits)

D Alarms and messages
No. Message Description
160 MISMATCH WAITING In a two–path wait

M–CODE (1) The NC and loader programs
specify different M codes.
In a three–path wait
(1) The commands have identical P
values but different M codes.
(2) The commands have identical
M codes but different P values.
(3) Both two–path and three–path
wait are simultaneously speci
fied.
161 ILLEGAL P OF WAITING (1) The address P value is nega

M–CODE tive, 1, 2, 4, or a value greater
than 8.
(2) The specified P value conflicts
with the system configuration.
An alarm causes a single–block stop to occur, causing the path to enter the
automatic operation stop state. Meanwhile, the other path or paths stop
immediately and enter the automatic operation stop state.
91
Notes
1 In a system featuring two–path NC (TT) and loader control,
a two–path waiting M code functions as a waiting M code for
tool posts 1 and 2.
If a waiting M code is included in a loader program, it is
processed as a general M code.
2 The two–path waiting M code differs from other M codes in
that the code signal and strobe signal are not output.
3 The three–path waiting M code differs from the two–path
waiting M code in that the code signal is output. However,
the strobe signal is not output and FIN processing is
unnecessary.
4 If the settings made for the CNC and loader are different, a
correct wait cannot be performed. While one waits for an M
code, the other processes the M code as a general M code.
3.4.2 When the playback option is selected, the TEACH IN JOG mode and
TEACH IN HANDLE mode are added. In these modes, a machine position
Creating
along the X, Z, and Y axes obtained by manual operation is stored in
Programs In memory as a program position to create a program.
Teach In Mode The words other than X, Z, and Y, which include O, N, G, R, F, C, M, S,
T, P, Q, and EOB, can be stored in memory in the same way as in EDIT
mode.
Procedure for Creating Programs in TEACH IN Mode
The procedure described below can be used to store a machine position

along the X, Z, and Y axes.
1 Select the TEACH IN JOG mode or TEACH IN HANDLE mode.
2 Move the tool to the desired position with jog or handle.
3 Press PROG key to display the program screen. Search for or register
the number of a program to be edited and move the cursor to the
position where the machine position along each axis is to be
registered (inserted).
4 Key in address X .
5 Press the INSERT key. Then a machine position along the X axis is
stored in memory.
(Example) X10.521 Absolute position (for mm input)
X10521 Data stored in memory
6 Similarly, key in Z , then press the INSERT key. Then a machine
position along the Z axis is stored in memory. Further, key in Y ,
then press the INSERT key. Then a machine position along the Y axis is
stored in memory.
92
All coordinates stored using this method are absolute coordinates.

1 Set the setting data SEQUENCE NO. to 1 (on). (The incremental

value parameter (No. 3212) is assumed to be “1”.)
2 Select the TEACH IN HANDLE mode.
3 Make positioning at position P0 by the manual pulse generator.
4 Select the program screen.
5 Enter program number O1234 as follows:
O 1 2 3 4 INSERT
This operation registers program number O1234 in memory.

Next, press the following keys:
EOB INSERT
An EOB (;) is entered after program number O1234. Because no

number is specified after N, sequence numbers are automatically
inserted for N0 and the first block (N1) is registered in memory.
6 Enter the P0 machine position for data of the first block as follows:
G 5 0 INSERT X INSERT Z INSERT EOB INSERT
This operation registers G50 X100000 Z200000 ; in memory. The

automatic sequence number insertion function registers N2 of the
second block in memory.
7 Position the tool at P1 with the manual pulse generator.
8 Enter the P1 machine position for data of the second block as follows:
G 0 0 INSERT X INSERT Z INSERT EOB INSERT
This operation registers G00 X14784 Z8736; in memory. The

automatic sequence number insertion function registers N3 of the
third block in memory.
9 Position the tool at P2 with the manual pulse generator.
93
10 Enter the P2 machine position for data of the third block as follows:
G 0 1 INSERT Z INSERT F 3 0 0
INSERT EOB INSERT
This operation registers G01 Z103480 F300; in memory.

The automatic sequence number insertion function registers N4 of the
fourth block in memory.
11 Register M02; in memory as follows:
M 0 2 INSERT EOB INSERT
N5 indicating the fifth block is stored in memory using the automatic

sequence number insertion function. Press the DELETE key to delete it.
This completes the registration of the sample program.
