MACHINE SAFETY
It is up to the machine manufacturer to make sure that the safety of the machine
is enabled in order to prevent personal injury and damage to the CNC or to the
products connected to it. On start-up and while validating CNC parameters, it
checks the status of the following safety elements. If any of them is disabled, the
CNC shows the following warning message.
• Feedback alarm for analog axes.
• Software limits for analog and sercos linear axes.
• Following error monitoring for analog and sercos axes (except the spindle)
both at the CNC and at the drives.
• Tendency test on analog axes.
FAGOR AUTOMATION shall not be held responsible for any personal injuries or
physical damage caused or suffered by the CNC resulting from any of the safety
elements being disabled.

SOFTWARE OPTIONS.
Some of the features described in this manual are dependent on the acquired software options. The active
software options for the CNC can be consulted in the diagnostics mode (accessible from the task window
by pressing [CTRL] [A]), under software options. Consult Fagor Automation regarding the software options
available for your model.
Software option Description.
SOFT 8060 ADDIT AXES Option to add axes to the default configuration.
SOFT 8060 ADDIT SPINDLES Option to add spindles to the default configuration.
SOFT 8060 ADDIT TOOL MAGAZ Option to add magazines to the default configuration.
SOFT 8060 ADDIT CHANNELS Option to add channels to the default configuration.
SOFT DIGITAL SERCOS Option for a Sercos digital bus.
SOFT THIRD PARTY I/Os Option to enable the CANopen bus for non-Fagor
modules.
SOFT OPEN SYSTEM Option for open systems. The CNC is a closed system that
offers all the features needed to machine parts.
Nevertheless, at times there are some customers who use
third-party applications to take measurements, perform
statistics or other tasks apart from machining a part.
This feature must be active when installing this type of
application, even if they are Office files. Once the
application has been installed, it is recommended to close
the CNC in order to prevent the operators from installing
other kinds of applications that could slow the system
down and affect the machining operations.
SOFT i4.0 CONNECTIVITY PACK Options for Industry 4.0 connectivity. This option provides
various data exchange standards (for example, OPC UA),
which allows the CNC (and therefore the machine tool) to
be integrated into a data acquisition network or into a MES
or SCADA system.
SOFT EDIT/SIMUL Option to enable edisimu mode (edition and simulation)
on the CNC, which can edit, modify and simulate part
programs.
SOFT TOOL RADIUS COMP Option to enable radius compensation. This
compensation programs the contour to be machined
based on part dimensions without taking into account the
dimensions of the tool that will be used later on. This
avoids having to calculate and define the tool paths based
on the tool radius.

SOFT PROFILE EDITOR Option to enable the profile editor in edisimu mode and in
the cycle editor. This editor can graphically, and in a
guided way, define rectangular, circular profiles or any
profile made up of straight and circular sections an it can
also import dxf files. After defining the profile, the CNC
generates the required blocks and add them to the
program.
SOFT 60 HD GRAPHICS High definition solid 3D graphics for the execution and
simulation of part-programs and canned cycles of the
editor. During machining, the HD graphics display, in real
time, the tool removing the material from the part, allowing
the condition of the part to be seen at all times. These
graphics are required for the collision control (FCAS).
SOFT 60 IIP CONVERSATIONAL The IIP (Interactive Icon-based Pages) mode, or
conversational mode, works with the CNC in a graphical
and guided way based on predefined cycles.
There is no
need to work with part programs, have any previous
programming knowledge or be familiar with Fagor CNCs.
Working in conversational mode is easier than in ISO
mode, as it ensures proper data entry and minimizes the
number of operations to be defined.
SOFT 60 RTCP Option to enable dynamic RTCP (Rotating Tool Center
Point) required to machine with 4, 5 and 6 axis kinematics;
for example, angular and orthogonal spindles, tilting
tables, etc. The RTCP orientation of the tool may be
changed without modifying the position occupied by the
tool tip on the part.
SOFT 60 C AXIS Option to enable C-axis kinematics and associated
canned cycles. The machine parameters of each axis or
spindle indicate whether it can operate as a C axis or not.
For this reason, it is not necessary to add specific axes to
the configuration.
SOFT 60 TANDEM AXES Option to enable tandem axle control. A tandem axis
consists of two motors mechanically coupled to each
other forming a single transmission system (axis or
spindle). A tandem axis helps provide the necessary
torque to move an axis when a single motor is not capable
of supplying enough torque to do it.
When activating this feature, it should be kept in mind that
for each tandem axis of the machine, another axis must
be added to the entire configuration. For example, on a
large 3-axis lathe (X Z and tailstock), if the tailstock is a
tandem axis, the final purchase order for the machine
must indicate 4 axes.
SOFT 60 SYNCHRONISM Option to enable the synchronization of paired axes and
spindles, in speed or position, and through a given ratio.
SOFT 60 HSSA I MACHINING SYSTEM Option to enable the HSSA-I (High Speed Surface
Accuracy) algorithm for high speed machining (HSC).
This new HSSA algorithm allows for high speed
machining optimization, where higher cutting speeds,
smoother contours, a better surface finishing and greater
precision are achieved.
SOFT 60 HSSA II MACHINING SYSTEM Option to enable the HSSA-II (High Speed Surface
Accuracy) algorithm for high-speed machining (HSC),
which has the following advantages compared to the
HSSA-I algorithm.
• Advanced algorithm for point preprocessing in real
time.
• Extended curvature algorithm with dynamic
limitations. Improved acceleration and jerk control.
• Greater number of pre-processed points.
• Filters to smooth out the dynamic machine behavior.

SOFT 60 PROBE Option to enable functions G100, G103 and G104 (for
probe movements) and probe canned cycles (which help
to measure part surfaces and to calibrate tools). For the
laser model, it only activates the non-cycle function G100.
The CNC may have two probes; usually a tabletop probe
to calibrate tools and a measuring probe to measure the
part.
SOFT 60 CONV USER CYCLES Option to enable user conversational cycles. The user and
the OEM can add their own canned cycles (user cycles)
using the FGUIM application that comes installed on the
CNC. The application offers a guided way to define a new
component and its softkey menu without having to be
familiar with script languages. User cycles work in a
similar way as Fagor canned cycles.
SOFT 60 PROGTL3 Option to enable the ProGTL3 programming language
(ISO language extension), allowing profiles to be
programmed using a geometric language and without the
need to use an external CAD system. This language can
program lines and circles where the end point is defined
as the intersection of 2 other sections, pockets, ruled
surfaces, etc.
SOFT 60 PPTRANS Option to enable the program translator, which can
convert programs written in other languages to Fagor ISO
code.
SOFT PWM CONTROL Option to enable PWM (Pulse - Width Modulation) control
on laser machines. This feature is essential for cutting
very thick sheets, where the CNC must create a series of
PWM pulses to control laser power when drilling the initial
point.
This function is only available for Sercos bus control
systems and must also use one of the two fast digital
outputs available from the central unit.
SOFT GENERATE ISO CODE ISO generation converts canned cycles, calls to
subroutines, loops, etc. into their equivalent ISO code (G,
F, S, etc functions), so the user can modify it and adapt it
to his needs (eliminate unwanted movements, etc.). The
CNC generates the new ISO code while simulating the
program, either from the DISIMU mode or from the
conversational mode.
