Correct cutting with updating machining data
After adding the software for monitoring operation (FIELD system and MT-LINKi are included), Reading or
writing CNC’s data from Customizing software (PMC ladder program, PC application, C-language executor
application and FANUC PICTURE application) might become slow very rarely.
Customizing software don't assume the delay of reading CNC data or writing CNC data, the alarm and the
warning might occur. Moreover, the machine sometimes fails to work at the worst case.

This report describes “Recommended programming method” and “Case of trouble” to prevent from trouble.
Confirm that your Customizing software are supporting the delay of reading/writing CNC data.
After confirmation of Customizing software, check that the process for delay runs correctly on machine tool.
For checking the process, we prepared the application to add load (LoadFocasFunc.exe). This application
communicates with CNC periodically. In this report, the method to use the application (LoadFocasFunc.exe) is
described.
About a general CNC application development,”GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION

DEVELOPMENT ” is described in CONNECTION MANUAL (FUNCTION). Please refer to section 7 in this
document that was copied from CONNECTION MANUAL.
2 Recommended programming method
2.1 FOCAS application

Retry procedure for EW_BUSY
If FOCAS library function cannot work immediately because the access to CNC information increases by
expansion of IoT equipment, FOCAS library function returns “EW_BUSY”. In this case, FOCAS application
should retry accessing. If it is difficult to retry, make an error or a warning processing properly.
Please refer following document about detail of return status specification.
Manual Description location
Documentation for the FANUC FOCAS 1/2 9. Return Status of Data Window Functions
library shipped with FOCAS1/2 Library
Disk (A02B-0207-K737/K739). and
10.Function Reference
However, if multiple FOCAS applications work on with processing, the execution of the FOCAS library
functions may be synchronized and EW_BUSY may always occur.
In such a case, you should take counter measures such as making the retry timing variable
Getting and releasing library handle

Don’t repeat getting library handle (cnc_allclibhndl, cnc_allclibhndl2, cnc_allclibhndl3) and releasing it
frequently while FOCAS application is running.
Please keep using the gotten library handle until FOCAS application ends.
2.2 Ladder program

In ladder program, if the access to CNC information increases by expansion of IoT equipment, the time until
complete of low speed type window function will be change. If there is a process which should wait for the
completion of the window function, you should add the completion of the window function to the start condition
of that process.
Please make a ladder program properly as following manuals.

3 Case of trouble
3.1 CASE1: Erroneous machining occurred

Behavior)
Erroneous machining occurred because the machining program was not selected correctly.
Cause)
- In the existing machine, the machining program is automatically selected by the application on the PC.
- Before adding the IoT equipment, calling FOCAS function “cnc_pdf_slctmain” for main program selection
and the main program was selected correctly without returning the return status EW_BUSY.
- After adding IoT equipment, due to the influence of it, there was a case where EW_BUSY was returned
from FOCAS function for main program selection.
- Because the processing of FOCAS function as return status for the main program selection was not
considered, the main program was not changed from the previous program, and machining was started with
the wrong program, and erroneous machining occurred.
Countermeasure)
Add processing of the FOCAS function for the main program selection as return status.
Incorrect program example
cnc_pdf_slctmain( m_FlibHndl, pFilePath );

// The return value is not checked and processing continues as normal
…….
Correct program example

When calling FOCAS function cnc_pdf_slctmain for main program selection and returning error code
EW_BUSY, it is necessary to recall this function until EW_BUSY does not return. And when an application
ends abnormally, the application should do termination processing for abnormally ends properly.
while( sRetry < RETRY_MAX ) { // same function recall at 10 times

ret = cnc_pdf_slctmain( m_FlibHndl, pFilePath );
if( ret != EW_BUSY ) {
break;
}
Sleep( RETRY_INTERVAL ); // Sleep time about 50msec
sRetry++;
}
if( ret != EW_OK ) {
// When an application ends abnormally, the application should do termination
processing for abnormally ends properly such as outputting log.
return ret;
}
//Continue processing only normal case.

FOCAS function requiring attention

- Write related FOCAS functions (parameters, offset data, etc.)
- FOCAS function related to program editing (selection of main program, etc.)
Please refer to "List of FOCAS2 functions that require support " for details on the FOCAS function requiring
attention.
Ed
Date Sheet
07/19
3.2 CASE2: Machining defect occurred

Behavior)
Machining defect occurred because the tool compensation amount was not updated correctly.
Cause)
- In the existing machine, the tool compensation amount is changed by the low speed type PMC window
function during the tool change operation. The tool change operation is completed in about 0.7 to 0.8
seconds.
- Before adding the IoT equipment, the process of changing the tool compensation amount was completed in
about 64 milliseconds, and the tool change operation was completed after the new tool compensation
amount was applied, and the machining was started.
- After adding the IoT equipment, due to the influence of the IoT application, execution of the low speed
type PMC window function was kept waiting, and a phenomenon occurred which took more than 1 second
to update the tool compensation amount.
- As the result of the delay, machining started with the tool compensation amount before update and
machining defect occurred because the tool change operation completed before the completion of updating
the tool compensation amount.
Countermeasure)
Add the completion for updating the tool compensation amount to the completion condition of the tool change
operation.
Ladder program before correction
Ed
Date Sheet
07/19
Ladder program after correction

The completion of the tool compensation amount of the low speed type PMC window function is added to the
completion condition of the tool change operation in order to ensure the tool change operation completes after
the completion of updating tool compensation amount.
Note
In the above example of ladder program, checking completion code of WINDW
instruction is omitted in order to make the difference clear. It is recommended that
the practical ladder program checks if the completion code is “0” at the
completion of WINDW instruction.

4 FOCAS application to add load

It is necessary to check the process for delay of reading / writing CNC data on machine tool.
We prepared the application (LoadFocasFunc.exe) to support the checking that process.
This application can create similar situation in which operation status monitoring software such as MT-LINK i
is added by imposing a load of reading / writing data on the CNC. This application supports that the machine
tool builders confirms the following process.
- The operation when the operation status software fails in the data acquisition
- The error process when FOCAS function returns an error in PC application
- The sequence process when PMC window is delayed
- The error process when Library function returns an error in C-language executor application
- The error process when Library function returns an error in FANUC PICTURE application
LoadFocasFunc.exe has been included in FOCAS2 library disk.
Notice
Don’t consider that your application is supporting the delay of reading / writing
CNC data even if Machine tool works correctly with this application.
Confirm the source of Customizing software.

4.3 HOW TO CHECK OPERATION
This section describes how to check the following items using this application.
- The operation status monitoring software fails to collect data

- Check an error processing of PC application
- Check whether PMC window delay is supported
Note
Please do not judge whether your application supports the delay of data reading /
writing only by whether the machine tool works by using this application.
Please also check the ladder sequence processing and source code to see
whether your application supports the delay of data reading / writing.
Check the operation status monitoring software can operate

If LoadFocasFunc.exe terminates with an error, it indicates that an application on the IoT equipment
such as MT-LINK i may fail to acquire data. The following describes the causes and countermeasures for
possible phenomena.
Behavior 1
When executing any of the following functions, LoadFocasFunc.exe may terminate with an error of ret =
-16 (EW_SOCKET).
- Write CNC parameters using PMC window
- Write CNC parameters by FOCAS2 function
STATUS is as following.
Ed
Date Sheet
07/19
Causing
If any of the following functions is executed while LoadFocasFunc.exe is transferring CNC parameters, CNC
parameter writing will be in a standby state.
- Write CNC parameters using PMC window
- Write CNC parameters by FOCAS2 function
If CNC parameter writing is in a standby state, the following functions will be also in a standby state.
- all low-speed PMC window functions
- FOCAS functions described in “ List of FOCAS2 functions that require support "
Please note that cnc_pdf_rdmain () used in the Main Program acquisition of LoadFocasFunc.exe is also in the
standby state. After the number of seconds setting in Timeout (sec), LoadFocasFunc.exe may terminate with an
error of "ret = -16".
Countermeasure
Set the Timeout (sec) time of the ethernet connection to more than 30 seconds.
Because of transferring all CNC parameters may take more than 5 seconds, there is also a delay of more than 5
seconds in executing the low-speed type PMC window and FOCAS functions.
Please also check that the PMC ladder and PC application have been created correctly.
Behavior 2
The execution time (end time-start time) of MainProg, PMCdata, and SystemSoft recorded in the log file
LoadLog00.csv is 1 second or more.
Causing
It is possible that the low-speed PMC window in the PMC ladder and the FOCAS functions in the PC
application are executed frequently.
Countermeasure
Please consider whether the execution frequency of the low-speed type PMC window in the PMC ladder and the
FOCAS functions in the PC application can be reduced.
Behavior 3
Transferring (Upload) of the CNC parameters recorded in the log file LoadLog00.csv ends with EW_RESET
(-2).
Example) Upload, 11: 29: 43.944, 11: 29: 59.869, -2, err_no = 0, err_dtno = 0
Caussing
This is normal behavior when a reset is performed on the CNC.
No problem.

if( ret != EW_BUSY ) {
break;
}
Sleep( RETRY_INTERVAL ); // Sleep of about 50msec
sRetry++;
}
if( ret != EW_OK ) {
// When an application ends abnormally, the application should do
termination processing for abnormally ends properly such as outputting log.
return ret;
}
// Continue processing only when normal
(3) Connect the PC on which LoadFocasFunc.exe is installed with CNC and Ethernet.
(4) Start LoadFocasFunc.exe on the computer.
(5) Enter the IP address and Port number of CNC into LoadFocasFunc.exe and press the CONNECT button.
(6) Press the START button on the computer to load the CNC data reading and writing.

7 GENERAL WARNINGS FOR CNC APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

WARNING
Be careful enough for the following warnings when you develop two or more
applications or use networks.
If you neglect them, machine may behave in an unexpected working and tool, work
piece, and machine may be damaged. In the worst case, there is an operator’s
extreme risk of death or serious injury.
1 Be careful enough if you write an identical NC data, an identical PMC data or a

series of related data set by two or more above applications including network
functions. Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other
words, asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the data will be written in
an unexpected order.
Therefore, do NOT write above data in the following cases.

- Applications and network functions
- Two or more applications
- Two or more network functions
Data, applications and network functions of interest are listed in below. However,
all may not be listed completely because new features will be added in the future.
2 Be careful enough that you must prevent PMC signals in the same byte from
being written by the following two or more applications including network
functions. While an application reads and writes one byte of PMC signals, other
applications may write the same byte.
3 Be careful enough if you process a PMC signal set that is related to a NC function
by using the following two or more applications including network functions.
Because they are executed based on each individual cycles (in other words,
asynchronous cycles), there is a possibility that the NC may receive the PMC
signal set in an unexpected order.
4 Generally, when multi-byte data are read or written at once among the following
two or more applications including network functions, the coherency of the read
multi-byte data (in other words, reading all latest data at once) is not guaranteed.
To ensure the coherency of the multi-byte data, prepare flags to notify the
completion of reading or writing process that is separated from the entity of the
data and make the handshaking process to access the data by using the flags.

5 CNC has functions that read or write PMC signals in other than the G/F address.
Be careful enough if the above mentioned applications and network read or write
PMC signals used by these functions. When reading or writing the same PMC
signal, applications or CNC functions may work in an unexpected manner.
As for the CNC functions of interest, refer to the connection manual
(Function) ”Appendix B. List of Functions Using PMC Signals Other Than G/F
Address”.
