SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-63164EN/04
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.

CAUTION
1 The operator's manual on the CNC screen display function
does not cover the functions and operation of CNCs. For
details of the functions and operation of a CNC, refer to the
operator's manual for the CNC.
2 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.
3 The CNC screen display function is designed to allow
standard CNC screens to be displayed on the monitor of a
personal computer. With this function, the same operation as
the standard CNC operation can be performed. However,
there are some operations that cannot be performed with this
function. For details, see the notes and limitations described in
this manual.
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 because of
recovery 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.

PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the FANUC Open CNC CNC screen
display function.
The FANUC Open CNC CNC screen display function (simply called
"CNC screen display function" from here on) allows the same display
and operation as the FS16i/18i/21i, FS15i, or FS15B to be performed
on a personal computer connected to the FS16i/18i/21i, FS15i, or
FS15B via the high-speed serial bus Type 2, the FS160i/180i/210i or
FS150i with a CNC Display Unit with Personal Computer Function,
the FS160i/180i/210i with the personal computer function, or a
personal computer connected to the FS16i/18i/21i via the Ethernet,
the FS160is/180is/210is with a Display Unit for is Series CNC and
the FS160is/180is/210is with the personal computer function.
NOTE
See Appendix 2, "CNC Screen Display Function for
the FS160is/180is/210is," for explanations about
the CNC screen display function for the
FS160is/180is/210is with a Display Unit for is
Series CNC and the FS160is/180is/210is with the
personal computer function.
Read this manual thoroughly to ensure the correct use of the CNC
screen display function.
CAUTION
FANUC holds the copyrights on this software
product and associated manuals and other
documents. Only one backup copy of this software
product is permitted. Reproduction for other
purposes is not allowed. This software can be
installed on one computer only.
The CNC screen display function uses the following product for
which copyright is held by Microsoft Corporation:
• Microsoftâ Windowsâ Visual C++TM
Features
l This function enables the same display and operation as for the
Series 16i/18i/21i, Series 15i, or Series 15B to be performed on
Windows, providing a more user-friendly environment.
Limitations
(2) Display
l The screen size is always 640 by 480 dots, regardless of the

(3) Operation
l The memory card utility supported by the CNC screen display
function of the FS160i/180i/210i with the personal computer
function can be used only for the input/output of data. The types
of the input/output data are the same as those of the data that the
standard FS16i/18i/21i can input and output with the memory
card (except for C Executor-created application data, which can
be neither input nor output). PMC ladder editing based on direct
memory card execution (ladder editing card function) is
unavailable.
For a personal computer connected to the FS16i/18i/21i via the
high-speed serial bus Type 2 and a personal computer connected
to the FS16i/18i/21i, however, inserting a memory card into a
card slot in the CNC enables the ladder editing card function.
The memory card utility of the FS150i with a CNC Display Unit
with Personal Computer Function can perform input/output of
only the same type of data that the standard FS15i can input
from and output to a memory card.
p-4
B-63164EN/04 PREFACE
l Only one CNC screen display function can be started per CNC.
On a personal computer connected to the FS16i/18i/21i via the
high-speed serial bus Type 2 or a personal computer connected
to the FS16i/18i/21i via the Ethernet, however, a CNC screen
display function window can be opened for individual CNCs at a
time.
