[. . . ] GE Fanuc Automation Computer Numerical Control Products Series 15 / 150 ­ Model B for Machining Center Operator's Manual (Operation) GFZ-62564E-1/02 December 1996 GFL-001 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes as Used in this Publication Warning Warning notices are used in this publication to emphasize that hazardous voltages, currents, temperatures, or other conditions that could cause personal injury exist in this equipment or may be associated with its use. In situations where inattention could cause either personal injury or damage to equipment, a Warning notice is used. Caution Caution notices are used where equipment might be damaged if care is not taken. Note Notes merely call attention to information that is especially significant to understanding and operating the equipment. This document is based on information available at the time of its publication. While efforts have been made to be accurate, the information contained herein does not purport to cover all details or variations in hardware or software, nor to provide for every possible contingency in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Features may be described herein which are not present in all hardware and software systems.

(To enter values for several consecutive variables at once, delimit the values with the <EOB> key Example 100. 0 ;200. 0 ;300. 0;400. 0 The cursor automatically proceeds to the next variable when ; is found. ) (6) ­2 Press the <EXEC> key. To add the entered value to the variable value already set (incremental input) (6) ­1 Press <+INPUT>. SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA To set a null value in the variable Press the <EMPTY> key. To clear the variable values Press the <ALL­CLR> key to change the soft keys to the operation guidance keys. To clear all group 1 and group 2 common variables to 0, press the <ALL> key. To clear only the group 1 common variables, press the <COMMON 1> key. To clear only the group 2 common variables, press the <COMMON 2> key. The soft keys are changed to the operation selection keys. 9" CRT operation guide keys ALL COMMON 1 COMMON 2 14" CRT operation guide keys ALL COMMON COMMON NONVOL VOL NOTE UNDER FLOW is displayed when the value of a custom macro is in either of the following ranges: 0 < Macro variable value < +0. 0000001: +UNDER FLOW 0 > Macro variable value > ­0. 0000001: ­UNDER FLOW ­ 219 ­ 10. SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA B­62564E­1/02 10. 5 Read/Punch Function for Custom Macro Common Variables The values and names of the common variables (#200 to #999) retained after the power is disconnected can be output to an output device in custom macro statement form. #503= . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; SETVN500[ABC, DEF, , , . . . ] ; . M2; % For a normal value When the value is empty When the value is 0 For variable names When this custom macro statement program is executed, values and names are set for the common variables. As shown in #500 in the above example, the values of variables are generally expressed as mathematical expressions. Since macro variables are handled in floating­point form in the control unit, such mathematical expressions are used to accurately express the values stored internally. (1) Outputting the values and names of common variables 1 Press the function menu key to display the function selection keys as soft keys. 2 Press the <SETTING> key several times until the screen for outputting the values of custom macro variables appears. An alternate method is to press the <CHAPTER> key to display chapter selection soft keys, then press the <MACRO> key. 3 Press the operation menu key several times until the <PUNCH> soft key appears. 4 Press the <PUNCH> key to display operation guidance soft keys. (For 9­inch CRT display, press the <COMMON2> key. ) 6 The values and names of common variables are output to the output unit selected in the foreground, and the <STOP> soft key is displayed. 7 To stop outputting common variable values and their names, press the <STOP. Once the <STOP> key is pressed, output of the remaining common variable values and names cannot be resumed. 8 When all the values and names of common variables have been output, the operation selection soft keys are displayed again. [. . . ] For example, this message appears when an attempt is made to alter or delete a program number. An attempt was made to write a program to tape, but no program number was found at the beginning of the program. (This message appears when HERE is specified at the beginning in program verification or when a program restart is specified during program restart operation. ) Although a program was running in the background, an attempt was made to edit that program. An attempt was made to edit a program in the background, but the program was being used in the foreground. [. . . ]
