B-64014EN/03 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the programmed value, compensation value,
current position, and external signal settings. Also,
never attempt to machine a workpiece without first
checking the operation of the machine. Before starting
a production run, ensure that the machine is operating
correctly by performing a trial run using, for example,
the single block, feedrate override, or machine lock
function, or by operating the machine with neither a tool
nor workpiece mounted. Failure to confirm the correct
operation of the machine may result in the machine
behaving unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to
the workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the
user.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for the
intended operation. Generally, for each machine, there
is a maximum allowable feedrate. The appropriate
feedrate varies with the intended operation. Refer to the
manual provided with the machine to determine the
maximum allowable feedrate. If a machine is run at
other than the correct speed, it may behave
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function, thoroughly
check the direction and amount of compensation.
Operating the machine with incorrectly specified data
may result in the machine behaving unexpectedly,
possibly causing damage to the workpiece and/or
machine itself, or injury to the user.
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are factory-set.
Usually, there is no need to change them. When,
however, there is no alternative other than to change a
parameter, ensure that you fully Failure to set a
parameter correctly may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-64014EN/03

CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not touch
any of the keys on the MDI panel until the position
display or alarm screen appears on the CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to
maintenance or other special operations. Pressing any
of these keys may place the CNC unit in other than its
normal state. Starting the machine in this state may
cause it to behave unexpectedly.
2 The operator's manual for FAST Ethernet / FAST Data
Server describes all the basic functions of the CNC,
including the optional functions. The selected optional
functions vary with the machine. Some functions
described in this manual may not, therefore, be
supported by your machine. Check the machine
specifications before using FAST Ethernet / FAST Data
Server.
3 Some machine operations and screen functions are
implemented by the machine tool builder. For an
explanation of their usage and related notes, refer to the
manual provided by the machine tool builder.
For example:
• On some machines, executing a tool function
causes the tool change unit to operate. When
executing a tool function on such a machine, stand
well clear of the tool change unit. Otherwise, there is
a danger of injury to the operator.
• Many auxiliary functions trigger physical
operations, such as rotation of the spindle. Before
attempting to use an auxiliary function, therefore,
ensure that you are fully aware of the operation to be
triggered by that function.

NOTE
Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC. Generally,
the contents of memory are not lost by a power on/off
operation. However, the contents of memory may be
erased by mistake, or important data in nonvolatile
memory may have to be erased upon recovering from a
failure.
To enable the restoration of data as soon as possible if
such a situation arises, always make a backup of the
data in advance.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

2 DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

The Data Server functions use a memory card built into a board for
storing files and can transfer files and perform DNC operation using
FTP.
A Data Server can operate on both FTP client and FTP server.
When you use a Data Server to transfer files, the Data Server operates
as an FTP client and communicates with the FTP server on the host
computer.
When you use the host computer to transfer files, the Data Server
operates as an FTP server and communicates with the FTP client on
the host computer.

NOTE
When the host computer operates as an FTP
server, FTP server software must be run on the
host computer. When the host computer operates
as an FTP client, FTP client software must be run
on the host computer.

B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

2.1 DATA SERVER FILE MANAGEMENT

With the Data Server functions, you can format the built-in memory
card in the CNC file management mode to manage NC programs.

CNC file management

For NC programs managed in the CNC file management mode,

memory operation such as custom macro commands and M98-based
subprogram calling are available. Operate the NC programs using the
PROGRAM FOLDER screen in the same way as for NC programs in
the CNC memory.
As a CNC external input/output device, DNC operation and
M198-based subprogram calling are available. In this case, operate
NC programs using the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen.

NOTE
1 The Data Server for the 30i-A allows editing and
memory operation of NC programs stored on the
memory card, so the method of managing files on
the memory card differs from the file management
method of conventional Data Servers. Note that,
therefore, the memory card of the 30i-A is not
compatible with the memory cards of conventional
Data Server models.
2 For operation and details of the PROGRAM
FOLDER screen, refer to Chapter 11, "PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT," in Part III, "OPERATION," in the
"USER'S MANUAL (Common to Lathe
System/Machining Center System) (B-63944EN)."
3 For operation and details of the DATA SERVER

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

2.1.1 File Names of CNC File Management

You can assign a file name to a file managed in the CNC file
management mode in the same way as for CNC memory.
• Up to 32 characters
• Alphabetic characters (in upper and lower cases), numeric
characters, and four symbols (+, -, _, and .)

NOTE
1 File names are case-sensitive.
2 Any file name or folder name cannot begin with a
period (.).
3 It is impossible to assign the same name to a file
and a folder.

File names and program numbers

When a file name assigned to a file consists of uppercase O and a

numeric value, the file name is treated as a program number.
Values ranging from 1 to 9999 can be used.
A value beyond this range cannot be used for a file name in the
program number format.

Example)
File names that can be used as program numbers
“O0123” Program number 123
“O0001” Program number 1
“O3000” Program number 3000
“O9999” Program number 9999
File names that cannot be used as program numbers
“ABC” (Does not have the format "O plus a numeric value")
“o123” (Does not begin with uppercase letter "O")
“O123.4” (Uses a character other than numeric characters)

NOTE
When files on a Data Server are managed by
program number, their program numbers always
consist of "O" plus a 4-digit number. So, even if
there are files managed with different file names
such as "O1" and "O01" on a personal computer,
their program numbers are regarded as the same
when these files are transferred to the Data Server.

- 12 -
B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

2.1.2 Files which can be Created on a Data Server

In the initial status, the maximum number of files which can be
created on a memory card on a Data Server is 2047 and the maximum
file size is 512 MB. Each folder is counted as one file.
The maximum number of files and the maximum file size can be
changed using NC parameter No. 930.
For details, see Section 2.2, "RELATED NC PARAMETERS," in Part
III, "SETTING."

2.1.3 Text Files and Binary Files

You can store the following two types of files on a memory card on a
Data Server: text files and binary files.
For a text file, memory operation and edit operation as well as DNC
operation can be performed by selecting it as a main program.
For binary files, only DNC operation is available, but binary input
operation in the high-speed remote buffer A format is available.
If NC data other than an NC program is not handled as a binary file, it
may not be able to be input or output correctly. NC data punched and
stored on a memory card on a Data Server from the CNC is
automatically handled as a binary file. A file to be transferred from a
personal computer to a memory card on a Data Server must be
specified explicitly as a binary file.

More specifically, for GET operation on a Data Server operation

screen, you can use soft key [GET] or [BGET] to specify whether to
handle the file as a text file or a binary file.
When the Data Server is used as an FTP server, you can execute an
ASCII (text file) command or a BIN (binary file) command on your
personal computer (FTP client) to specify whether to handle the file as
a text file or a binary file.

NOTE
An NC program stored as a text file is converted to
an editable file format so that the file can be edited
on the CNC. For this reason, when a text file is
read from the host computer to the memory card
on the Data Server, then the file is transferred to
the host computer, binary compatibility can no
longer be maintained.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

2.2 DATA SERVER MODES

Each Data Server mode determines the input or output destination

when a Data Server is operated as a CNC external input/output device.
You can select one of the following three modes.

NOTE
Data Server modes are valid only when the Data
Server is operated as an external storage device of
the CNC. In case of main program operation for
editing and a memory operation and an M98-based
subprogram call, programs on the memory card of
the Data Server are selected regardless of the
Data Server mode.

Storage mode

The memory card built into the Data Server is selected as the external
input/output device.
For example, when DNC operation or M198-based subprogram
calling is executed, the relevant NC program is called from the
memory card built into the Data Server.
When input operation (read) is executed for the Data Server, the
relevant NC program is read from the memory card built into the Data
Server.
Conversely, when NC program output operation (punch) is executed
for the Data Server, the output NC program is written on the memory
card built into the Data Server.

FTP mode

The host computer connected to the Data Server is selected as the

external input/output device.
For example, when DNC operation or M198-based subprogram
calling is executed, the relevant NC program is called from the host
computer.
When input operation (read) is executed for the Data Server, the
relevant NC program is read from the host computer connected to the
Data Server.
Conversely, when NC program output operation (punch) is executed
for the Data Server, the output NC program is directly written on the
host computer.

DNC operation

CAUTION
1 In the FTP mode, an NC program is transferred
from the host computer to the CNC. For this
reason, if the line is disconnected during
communication for some reason such as noise on
the network, the disconnection directly affects the
CNC operation as compared with the storage
mode. Before DNC operation in the FTP mode,
surely take measures to prevent noise and make
sure that good communication conditions are
present.
2 When feed hold is performed during DNC
operation in the FTP mode, communication with
the host computer may be stopped. In this case,
the host computer may disconnect the
communication. Perform feed hold during a trial
run and completely confirm that the communication
with the host computer is not disconnected.

Buffer mode

The host computer connected to the Data Server is selected as the

external input device.
In the buffer mode unlike the FTP mode, however, areas on the
memory card built into the Data Server are used as intermediate
buffers. For details of the buffer mode, see Section 2.3, "DETAILS
OF THE BUFFER MODE," which is the following section.
As the external output device, the memory card built into the Data
Server is selected. When NC program output operation (punch) is
performed, the operation equivalent to that in the storage mode is
performed.

NOTE
With the 32i-A, the buffer mode cannot be used.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

2.3 DETAILS OF THE BUFFER MODE

In the buffer mode, two areas (areas A and B) are prepared on the
memory card. While the NC program data stored in one area is being
supplied to the CNC, the subsequent NC program data is read in the
other area from the host computer using FTP transfer. When all data in
the former area has been supplied to the CNC, the data in the latter
area is supplied to the CNC. In the former area, which becomes empty,
the subsequent NC program data is read from the host computer using
FTP transfer.
Repeating this operation enables an NC program larger than the
capacity of the memory card to be handled. To use the buffer mode,
however, the original NC program must be divided into some files on
the host computer in advance.
The size of a divided file must be smaller than half the remaining
capacity of the memory card. If the size of a divided file is too large
(for example, 100 MB or more), it takes much time to read the first
file from the host computer and it also takes time until operation starts.

Using the buffer mode

In the buffer mode, a file (such as Oxxxx) called by DNC operation or

M198-based subprogram calling is a file list. The file list contains the
names of files to be called in the order in which they are to be called.
In the buffer mode, the Data Server sequentially calls the files
specified in the file list from the host computer and supplies data to
the CNC.

B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

Files (file1 to file5) specified in the file list on the host computer are
stored on the memory card built into the Data Server using FTP
transfer and supplied to the CNC. In the buffer mode, after the CNC
issues a request to read an NC program to the Data Server, the
specified file list is read from the host computer. When the first file
has been read, the Data Server starts supplying data to the CNC. For
this reason, it takes time from when the CNC issues a request to read a
program to when the Data Server starts supplying data.
While the Data Server is supplying the data in one area to the CNC, it
stores data into the other area using FTP transfer. For this reason,
divide the original program data so that two consecutive files can be
contained on the memory card built into the Data Server.
Although the data in one area has been supplied to the CNC, FTP
transfer may not terminate for the other area. In this case, program
calling terminates abnormally because the subsequent data cannot be
supplied. You can use a parameter not to cause the abnormal
termination.
In the file list, you can specify any file name allowed by the host
computer that consists of up to 255 single-byte alphanumeric
characters. Be sure to specify at least one LF (0A in hexadecimal) or
CR (0D in hexadecimal) following each file name in the file list to
delimit the file names.

NOTE
In the buffer mode, you can also register a new file
on the memory card built into the Data Server by
the "NC program GET" or "NC program output"
operation.
By this operation, however, the remaining capacity
of the memory card built into the Data Server that
is required for operation in the buffer mode may be
exhausted, resulting in an error in DNC operation
in the buffer mode.
For this reason, during DNC operation in the buffer
mode, do not register any new file on the memory
card built into the Data Server.

Dividing an NC program into files

To perform operation in the buffer mode, divide an original NC

program into several files on the host computer and create a file list
indicating the order in which the divided files are to be transferred in
advance.

As shown above, divide an original NC file into three files, file1, file2,
and file3. Specify the divided file names in the file list (file name:
O1234).

- 18 -
B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

CAUTION
In the above example, the NC program is divided
into files so that any block is not divided. You can
divide a program at a point in a block. When
dividing a program at a point in a block, be careful
so that any unnecessary character is not inserted
at the end of each file.
If an unnecessary character is inserted at the end
of a file, the NC program may perform unexpected
operation when executed. Be very careful when
preparing and editing an NC program on the host
computer.

NOTE
1 Divide an NC program into files so that each file
size is about 20 to 30 MB. If the file size is too
large, it takes time until DNC operation starts. If the
file size is too small, data transmission may stop
between files and operation may stop.
2 Although you can divide an NC program at a point
in a block, divide the program in block units
whenever possible and retract the tool at the end
of each divided file. This prevents data
transmission from stopping at the end of a file and
cutter marking from being made.
3 Store the file list and relevant divided files in the
same directory on the same host computer.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

2.4 OPERATION FROM A DATA SERVER

Memory operation

You can perform memory operation for an NC program on the

memory card built into a Data Server in the same way as for an NC
program in the CNC memory.
You can also supply an NC program simultaneously for a multipath
CNC system.

NOTE
When memory operation is performed, a selected
program on the Data Server must be a text file. It is
impossible to use a binary file for memory
operation.

M198 subprogram operation

In the storage mode, you can perform M198 calling from the memory
card built into a Data Server. In the FTP or buffer mode, you can
perform M198 calling form the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set an M198 folder in
advance. When M198 calling is specified, the set M198 folder is
searched for the target subprogram.

NOTE
The file name of an NC program called by M198
must have the O number format.

DNC operation

In the storage mode, you can perform DNC operation from the
memory card built into a Data Server. In the FTP or buffer mode, you
can perform DNC operation from the host computer.
On the DATA SERVER FILE LIST screen, set the file name for DNC
operation in advance. When DNC operation starts, the set DNC
operation file is called.

- 20 -
B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS

2.5 NC PROGRAM FORMAT

NC programs prepared on the host computer must have the following

format:

% TITLE ;
O0001(COMMENT) ;
⋅
⋅
⋅
M30 ;
%

An NC program starts with a start file mark (%). In the subsequent

part (leader section) until EOB (;, program start) is encountered, a
comment such as a title can be inserted as necessary.
At the beginning of the program section, be sure to specify an O
number or specify a file name consisting of up to 32 characters
enclosed by "<" and ">". This O number or file name must be used for
management on the personal computer.
If an O number or a file name in an NC program is different from a
file name on the personal computer, the file name used on the personal
computer takes priority by default when the file is transferred from the
personal computer to the Data Server.
The semicolon ";" used at the end of each block means EOB (end of
block) and actually functions as LF (LF: 0A in hexadecimal), CR-LF
(CR: 0D in hexadecimal), or LF-CR-CR.
The NC program must end with "M code ; %".
When performing binary input operation, insert data for binary input
operation, enclosed with the start code and end code of binary input
operation, into the part ". . ." in the above figure.
For details of binary input operation, refer to the relevant operator's
manual of the CNC.

WARNING
If an NC program prepared on the host computer
does not use the program format specified by the
CNC, executing the NC program can cause an
unpredictable operation. So, special care should be
taken when an NC program is prepared on the host
computer.

Specifications common to all formats

<1> A list file begins with a start file mark "%".
<2> In the next block, be sure to specify an O number. Assign this O
number as the file name.
A comment enclosed in parentheses "(" and ")" can be inserted
between the O number and EOB.
<3> In the subsequent blocks, specify files to be processed.
<4> The list file must end with "%".

Specifications of format 1
The following describes the specifications of list file format 1:
<1> This specification method applies when the file names of files to
be processed have the format "Oxxxx" (where "xxxx" denotes a
4-digit number). In this case, change "O" in file name "Oxxxx" to
"N" when specifying the file name. The 4-digit number can be
zero-suppressed. The example shows that files O0111, O0222,
O0333, and so on up to O0999 are processed sequentially.
<2> The LIST-GET service transfers "Oxxxx" files stored on the
built-in hard disk of the host computer to the built-in memory
card of the FAST Data Server without modifying file names
"Oxxxx". The LIST-PUT service transfers "Oxxxx" files stored
on the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server to the
built-in hard disk of the host computer without modifying file

arbitrary file names on the built-in hard disk of the host computer.
In this case, change "O" in file name "Oxxxx" to "N" when
specifying the file name on the FAST Data Server. The 4-digit
number can be zero-suppressed. The example shows that files
O0111, O0222, O0333, and so on up to O0999 are processed
sequentially.
A file name on the built-in hard disk of the host computer can be
specified by enclosing it with parentheses "(" and ")" following
the corresponding "Nxxxx". The characters that can be used in
file names depend on the OS of the host computer.
<2> The LIST-GET service transfers files with arbitrary file names
"PC-File" stored on the built-in hard disk of the host computer to
the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server as "Oxxxx"
files. The LIST-PUT service transfers "Oxxxx" files stored on
the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server to the built-in
hard disk of the host computer as files with arbitrary file names
"PC-File". The LIST-DELETE service deletes "Oxxxx" files
stored on the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server.

2.DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

Specifications of format 3
The following describes the specifications of list file format 3:
<1> This specification method applies when the file names of files to
be processed are arbitrary file names. In this case, file names on
the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server and on the
built-in hard disk of the host computer are assumed to be the
same. Specify an arbitrary file name enclosed with parentheses
"(" and ")". The characters that can be used in arbitrary file
names are the following 66 ASCII characters only:
Numeric characters 0 to 9
Lowercase letters a to z
Uppercase letters A to Z
Four symbols (+, -, _, .)
<2> The LIST-GET service transfers files with arbitrary file names
"Dtsvr-File" stored on the built-in hard disk of the host computer
to the built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server with the
file names kept unchanged.
The LIST-PUT service transfers "Dtsvr-File" files stored on the
built-in memory card of the FAST Data Server to the built-in
hard disk of the host computer with the file names "Dtsvr-File"
kept unchanged. The LIST-DELETE service deletes "Dtsvr-File"
files stored on the built-in memory card of the FAST Data
Server.

Specifications of format 4
The following describes the specifications of list file format 4:
<1> This specification method applies when files to be processed
have arbitrary file names. In this case, file names on the built-in
memory card of the FAST Data Server and file names on the
built-in hard disk of the host computer are assumed to be
different. Specify a file name on the built-in memory card of the
FAST Data Server and a file name on the built-in hard disk of the
host computer in parentheses, separated by a comma ",".
The characters that can be used in file names on the built-in
memory card of the FAST Data Server are the following 66
ASCII characters only:
Numeric characters 0 to 9
Lowercase letters a to z
Uppercase letters A to Z
Four symbols (+, -, _, .)
The characters that can be used in arbitrary file names on the

Limitations on file names in a list file

The following limitations apply when file names are specified in a list
file:
<1> The characters that can be used in file names on the built-in
memory card of the FAST Data Server are the following 66
ASCII characters only:
Numeric characters 0 to 9
Lowercase letters a to z
Uppercase letters A to Z
Four symbols (+, -, _, .)
The characters that can be used in arbitrary file names on the
built-in hard disk of the host computer depend on the OS of the
host computer.
<2> Arbitrary file names may consist of up to 255 characters.
However, the number of characters that can actually be used
depends on the OS of the host computer.

Storage locations of list files

The LIST-GET, LIST-PUT, and LIST-DELETE services are useful
functions for managing NC programs in groups.
The places where list files are prepared vary depending on the service
to be executed.
For the LIST-GET service, NC programs to be operated on are present
on the built-in hard disk of the host computer, so list files are placed
also on the built-in hard disk of the host computer.
For the LIST-PUT and LIST-DELETE services, NC programs to be
operated on are present on the built-in memory card of the FAST Data
Server, so list files are also prepared on the built-in memory card of
the FAST Data Server.

3.FOCAS2/Ethernet FUNCTIONS SPECIFICATION B-64014EN/03

3 FOCAS2/Ethernet FUNCTIONS
The FOCAS2/Ethernet functions can remotely control and monitor the
CNC by using a personal computer. For details, refer to the manual
delivered with the FOCAS2 library software.

NOTE
In the FOCAS2/Ethernet functions, the CNC
operates as a server and waits for a
communication start request from a personal
computer that operates as a client.
As communication with the personal computer
starts, two sockets are used for control and
monitoring from the personal computer and for file
transfer.

B-64014EN/03 SPECIFICATION 4.ABOUT DNS/DHCP

4 ABOUT DNS/DHCP
If DNS/DHCP is used for communication setting of the Data Server
functions and FOCAS2/Ethernet functions, Ethernet addresses (IP
address and subnet mask) can be set at a time on the host computer to
facilitate Ethernet address control.

DNS

With the DNS function, a fully qualified domain name (e.g.,

www.fanuc.co.jp) can be specified instead of a hard-to-remember IP
address just consisting of numbers (e.g., 192.168.0.10) when a TCP/IP
communication destination is to be specified.

NOTE
To use the DNS function, a personal computer
having the DNS server function is additionally
required. See Chapter 4, "SETTING THE
DNS/DHCP FUNCTION," in Part III, "SETTING,"
and APPENDIX C, "EXAMPLE OF SETTING UP
DNS/DHCP."

DHCP

With the DHCP function, Ethernet addresses (IP address and subnet
mask) that need to be set on the CNC can be set on the host computer.

NOTE
To use the DHCP function, a personal computer
having the DHCP server function is additionally
required. See Chapter 4, "SETTING THE
DNS/DHCP FUNCTION," in Part III, "SETTING,"
and Appendix C, "EXAMPLE OF SETTING UP
DNS/DHCP."

Notes on using the Data Server functions

CAUTION
When setting the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data
Server for the first time, carefully set data such as
an IP address and conduct a sufficient
communication test, consulting with your network
administrator.
If data such as an IP address is not set correctly, a
communication failure can affect the entire
network. Take sufficient care.

2.SETTING THE DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS SETTING B-64014EN/03

2 SETTING THE DATA SERVER

FUNCTIONS
This chapter describes the communication setting for the Data Server
functions.

Notes on using the functions for the first time

CAUTION
1 When using the FAST Data Server for the first time, be sure to
initialize the memory card, set parameters, then turn the power off
then back on. If an attempt is made to use the Data Server functions
without following these steps, normal operation is not guaranteed.
2 Before performing FTP communication using the FAST Data Server
for the first time, consult with your network administrator, carefully
set a network address and other items, and conduct communication
tests thoroughly. Any error in settings such as a network address
setting can lead to an adverse influence such as a communication
failure on the entire network.
In particular, IP address duplication causes an intermittent
communication failure in the Data Server, which can result in a
system error in the CNC. So, be very careful when making settings.
3 When the power to the CNC is turned off during access to the
memory card, files stored on the memory card may be destroyed.
So, be careful not to turn off the power to the CNC during access to
the memory card.
4 In preparation for damage to the memory card, always take backup
copies of the files stored on the memory card to the host computer.

NOTE
1 With the Data Server functions (FTP client), a single CNC can
connect only one FTP server.
2 With the Data Server functions (FTP server), a single CNC can
connect up to five FTP clients. However, some FTP client software
programs may each internally use two or more FTP clients. Note,
therefore, that the number of FTP clients is not always equal to the
number of applications.
3 The Data Server functions do not support passive mode (PASV
command).

3 SETTING THE FOCAS2/Ethernet

FUNCTIONS
This chapter describes the setting of parameters for the
FOCAS2/Ethernet functions and CNC screen display functions.

CAUTION
Before performing communication using the
FOCAS2/Ethernet functions for the first time,
consult with your network administrator, carefully
set a network address and other items, and
conduct communication tests thoroughly. Any error
in settings such as a network address setting can
lead to an adverse influence such as a
communication failure on the entire network.
In particular, IP address duplication causes an
intermittent communication failure in the Data
Server, which can result in a system error in the
CNC. So, be very careful when making settings.

Note on using the FOCAS2/Ethernet functions

NOTE
With the FOCAS2/Ethernet functions, up to 20
FOCAS2/Ethernet clients can be connected to one
CNC.

Note on using the CNC screen display functions

NOTE
With the CNC screen display functions, up to 1
CNC screen display function client can be
connected to one CNC.

NOTE
1 When using a board, observe the installation
condition (environmental condition inside the
cabinet) of the CNC control unit where the board is
installed.
2 Even if a control unit is installed in the environment
described above, the contents on the memory card
may be destroyed as a result of a operation
mistake or unexpected event. This tends to happen
if the power is turned off while accessing the
memory card. An accident can occur. So, ensure
that the data on the memory card is backed up at
all times.

The table below indicates the amount of heat output by the FAST
Ethernet/FAST Data Server. For the amount of heat output by the
main CNC unit and other optional units, refer to the CONNECTION
MANUAL (HARDWARE) of the CNC.

1.2.4 Installing a Memory Card

The following shows the specifications of memory cards
recommended as an external storage device of the FAST Data Server.

Specification Capacity Remarks

A02B-0281-K601 128MB CompactFlash card
A02B-0213-K211 256MB CompactFlash card
A02B-0213-K212 1GB CompactFlash card

Generally, because of characteristics of the internal flash memory,

repeatedly reading data from a CompactFlash card can degrade
internal data and result in a data error.
Even if such a problem arises, the CompactFlash cards listed above
have a function for restoring data automatically, so incorrect data will
not be read from these cards. However, a read operation may take a
time temporarily.
The delay in read time is related to memory operation performance
(speed) and finish on machined surfaces. So, this should be taken into
consideration when these cards are used.
For memory operation, these cards should be used with the processing
time per block set to 24 ms or longer.
For DNC operation, a sufficient buffer is provided between the Data
Server and the CNC, so there is no influence on machining even if the
delay mentioned above is generated in read operation.

Operation checks have been conducted for SanDisk's adapter

(SDAD-38-J60) that converts the above CompactFlash cards to an
ATA card.

NOTE
For latest information, refer to the Technical Report
provided separately.

CAUTION
1 Before connecting or disconnecting the cable to or
from the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server, make
sure that the power to the CNC is turned off.
2 Please inquire of each manufacturer about the
construction of network or the condition of using
the equipment except the FAST Ethernet/FAST
Data Server (hub, transceiver, cable etc.). When
configuring your network, you must take other
sources of electrical noise into consideration to
prevent your network from being influenced by
electrical noise. Make sure that network wiring is
sufficiently separated from power lines and other
sources of electrical noise such as motors, and
ground each of the devices as necessary. Also, a

2.1 CONNECTING TO Ethernet

The FAST Ethernet or FAST Data Server is provided with a

100BASE-TX interface.
Prepare a hub for connecting the FAST Ethernet board to the Ethernet
trunk. The following shows an example of a general connection.

Some devices (hub, transceiver, etc.) that are needed for building a
network do not come in a dust-proof construction. Using such devices
in an atmosphere where they are subjected to dust or oil mist will
interfere with communications or damage the FAST Ethernet or FAST
Data Server. Be sure to install such devices in a dust-proof cabinet.

2.5 ELECTRICAL NOISE COUNTERMEASURES

2.5.1 Separating Signal Lines

For signal line separation, refer to the description of noise protection
in the Connection Manual (Hardware) (B-63943EN) of CNC. The
wiring for the Ethernet cable is of group C.

2.5.2 Clamping and Shielding Cables

Clamp an Ethernet twisted pair cable according to the method
described below, as with cables that need to be shielded. Clamping
cables provides support and shielding and is extremely important to the
safe operation of the system. Never overlook cable clamping.
Peel off part of the jacket as shown in the figure to expose the outer
coating of the shield, and press this outer coating against the ground plate
with the clamp fixture.
The machine manufacturer must prepare the ground plate and install it as
follows:

Ground plate

Cable

Cable clamp

Ground plate

Shield

Peel off jacket

NOTE
To ensure the safe operation of the system, clamp
and shield the cables.

Connect the Ethernet board and hub with a twisted-pair cable. Shield
the cable with clamp fixtures.

- 134 -
B-64014EN/03 CONNECTION 2.CABLE CONNECTION

This shielding is extremely important to the stable operation of the

system. Be sure to shield the cable. Shield both ends of each cable at
locations as nearest to the CNC and hub connectors as possible. When
the CNC and hub are contained in the same power magnetics cabinet
and the cable is short, shield the cable only at the hub side.

2.5.3 Grounding the Network

Even if the grounding condition on the machine side is satisfied, the
communication line can pick up noise from the machine, depending
on the machine installation condition and environment, thus resulting
in a communication error. To protect against such noise, the machine
should be separated and insulated from the Ethernet trunk cable and
personal computer. Examples of connection are given below.

2.CABLE CONNECTION CONNECTION B-64014EN/03

NOTE
1 The ground between PC/HUB side and machine
system side must be separated. If it is impossible
to separate the ground because there is only one
grounding point, connect the ground cable for each
system to the grounding point independently. (See
figure below.)
The resistance for grounding must be less than
100-ohm (Class D). The thickness of the ground
cable is the same as the thickness of AC power
cable or more. At least thickness of 5.5mm2 is
necessary.
2 Note that the number of allowable hub-to-hub
connections depends on the type of hub.
3 There is possibility that noise makes the obstacle
of communication even if the ground is separated
using the 100BASE-TX. In the case of using the
FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server under the worst
environment, please separate between the
PC/Trunk line side and machine system side
completely using the 100BASE-FX (Optical fiber
media).

APPENDIX
B-64014EN/03 APPENDIX A.TROUBLESHOOTING

A TROUBLESHOOTING
This appendix describes troubleshooting related to FAST Ethernet/
FAST Data Server communication.

- 163 -
A.TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX B-64014EN/03

A.1 CHECKING COMMUNICATION WITH A HUB

(1) Make sure that the STP cable between the hub and the FAST
Ethernet/FAST Data Server is connected.
(2) Make sure that cables are properly wired.
• Though communication is carried out when the cable pair at
the send and receive sides is not properly mounted,
communications errors may occur more frequently.
(3) Make sure that a hub for 100BASE-TX is used.
• A hub for 10BASE-T may be used to perform
communication. In this case, however, the communication
speed can decrease.
(4) Make sure that the LIL LED on the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data
Server is lit at all times.
• The LIL LED will not light if the FAST Ethernet/FAST
Data Server is not connected to the hub or if the hub is not
ON.
(5) Make sure that the LED (LINK indicator LED) on the connected
hub is lit at all times.
• Some hubs do not have a LINK indicator LED.
• The LINK indicator LED will not light if the hub is not
connected to the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server or the
CNC is not ON.
(6) Make sure that a hub for full duplex communication only is not
used.
• The FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server automatically
detects the communication speed and communication mode
(full duplex or half duplex) by using the auto negotiation
function. In communication with a hub that does not have
the auto negotiation function, the FAST Ethernet/FAST
Data Server recognizes the communication speed correctly
but regards the communication mode as half duplex
communication.
As a result, when an attempt is made to communicate with a
hub for full duplex communication only that does not have
the auto negotiation function, there is a discrepancy in
communication mode, so correct communication cannot
sometimes be performed.

• For details on how to connect, see Part V "CONNECTION."

- 164 -
B-64014EN/03 APPENDIX A.TROUBLESHOOTING

A.2 CHECKING CONNECTION WITH THE TRUNK

General notes are provided below. For network installation, consult

with specialized vendors or manufacturers. Run cables away from
noise sources.
The descriptions below are not applicable if the network is configured
using only those hubs that have Ethernet boards connected.

• When the trunk is based on 10BASE-5

(1) Make sure that a transceiver is attached to the trunk
correctly.
- If a transceiver is attached correctly, the resistance
between the trunk shield and central conductor is about
25Ω (when a terminating resistor is attached).
- A special tool is required to attach a transceiver. (No
special tool is required, depending on the manufacturer.
For details, refer to the installation manual of each
transceiver.)
- Do not attach a transceiver again to a point where a
transceiver was once attached. (Otherwise, the cable
can be damaged.)
(2) Make sure that transceivers are attached at proper intervals.
- Transceivers must be attached at intervals of 2.5 m or
more. It is recommended that transceivers be attached
at intervals of an integral multiple of 2.5 m. Usually,
marks indicating installation points are provided on the
trunk cable.
(3) Make sure that terminating resistors are attached.
- A terminating resistor must be attached to each end of
the trunk cable. (Resistance: 50Ω)
(4) Make sure that the trunk cable is not longer than 500 m.
(5) Make sure that the cable (transceiver cable) used for
connection between a transceiver and the hub is not longer
than a specified limit.
- Usually, the maximum allowable length of a
transceiver cable is 50 m. However, the maximum
allowable length of a cable with a smaller diameter
may be shorter than 50 m. So, check the specifications
of each cable.

• When the trunk is based on 10BASE-2

(1) Make sure that the length of each cable is 0.5 m or more.
- The minimum allowable distance between nodes
(units) is 0.5 m.
(2) Make sure that the trunk cable length (sum of the lengths of
cables) is 185 m or less.
(3) Make sure that terminating resistors are attached.
- A terminating resistor must be attached to each end of
the trunk cable. (Resistance: 50Ω)

A.TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX B-64014EN/03

A.3 CHECKING SETTINGS

The following describes how to check the minimum settings needed

for communications.

NOTE
For details on IP addresses, subnet mask and other
set values, consult with the network administrator.

• Checking settings on the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server

(1) Make sure that the MAC address of the FAST
Ethernet/FAST Data Server is displayed.
- This address is appended to each board before
shipment from the factory, and is automatically
displayed in the Setting screen. This address need not
be set by the user.
(2) Make sure that the IP address is set.
(3) Make sure that the subnet mask is set.
(4) When a router is used, make sure that the router IP address
is set.

• Checking settings on the personal computer

(1) Make sure that the IP address is set.
(2) Make sure that the subnet mask is set.
(3) When a router is used, make sure that the router IP address
is set.

• For details on how to set, see Part III "SETTING."

- 166 -
B-64014EN/03 APPENDIX A.TROUBLESHOOTING

A.4 CHECKING COMMUNICATION

This section describes how to check the communication status

between a CNC and the other communicating partner (host computer).
If communication with the CNC sometimes fails or is not possible,
first make sure that the communication path is normal by the
following procedure. The "ping" command is used to check
communication.
In the following example, a host computer running the Windows
NT4.0 is used.

• Checking the communication path

Open the DOS window, and enter 'ping "IP address of CNC"'. If
a response is returned from the CNC, the FAST Ethernet/FAST
Data Server is connected to the CNC.
(1) When a response is returned (normal connection)

(2) When a response is not returned (abnormal connection)

When a response is not returned, probable causes are either

the hardware connection or a software setting, or both.
Check the hardware connections and software settings
again.

- 167 -
A.TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX B-64014EN/03

• Checking IP addresses for duplication

IP addresses can be checked for duplication by the procedure
described below.
(1) Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the CNC to isolate it
from the network.
(2) Execute a ping command on another personal computer as
described in "• Checking the communication path."
Since the CNC is disconnected from the network, no
response should be returned. If a response is returned, the IP
address is in use on another unit. Therefore, the IP address
cannot be used on the CNC from which the cable was
disconnected.

CAUTION
The purpose of this check is to check for a duplicate
IP address. It does not assure that the IP address is
left non-duplicated because a unit having the same
IP address may be turned on after the check or the
same address may be set later.
When setting an IP addressing, ask the network
manager about duplication.

• Checking for influence of electrical noise

The "ping" command "-t" option is used for checking for the
influence of electrical noise. This option sends ping packets until
"Ctrl+C" is pressed.

- 168 -
B-64014EN/03 APPENDIX A.TROUBLESHOOTING

1. About the influence of electrical noise from peripheral

machinery (devices)
(1) Turn the CNC is mounted ON to enable
communications.
(2) Press the EMERGENCY STOP button on the machine
with the servo/spindle amplifier OFF, and issue the
"ping" command from the host computer.
(3) Count the number of lost packets (packets for which a
response was not returned).
If a lost packet occurs in this state, the machine is
probably being affected by electrical influence from
peripheral machines.
Countermeasure:
Pin-point the source of the electrical noise, and
check the wiring again to prevent the influence of
electrical noise.

2. About the influence of electrical noise from mounted

machinery
(1) Start up the machine in the same way as 1 above.
(2) Cancel the emergency stop on the machine with the
servo/spindle amplifier ON, and issue the "ping"
command from the host computer.
(3) Count the number of lost packets.
If more lost packets than in 1 above are occurring, a
probable cause is the influence of electrical noise on
the machine itself. General probable causes are the
state of the ground on the machine or on the
communicating party.
Countermeasure:
Check the state of the ground on the machine or on
the communicating party, and insulate the
communications trunk with the machine.

• For the method of checking the operating status and

communication status of the FAST Ethernet/FAST Data Server,
see Part VI “MAINTENANCE” as well.
