Mitsubishi Electric C70 PLC Owner's manual

  • Hello! I am an AI chatbot trained to assist you with the Mitsubishi Electric C70 PLC Owner's manual. I’ve already reviewed the document and can help you find the information you need or explain it in simple terms. Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
Introduction
This manual describes the various signal interfaces and functions required when creating sequence
program of PLC CPU to operate C70.
Read this manual thoroughly before programming.
Thoroughly study the "Safety Precautions" on the following page to ensure safe use of this CNC unit.
Details described in this manual
For items described in "Restrictions" or "Usable State", the instruction manual issued by the machine
maker takes precedence over this manual.
Items not described in this manual must be interpreted as "not possible".
This manual is written on the assumption that all option functions are added. Refer to the specifications
issued by the machine maker before starting use.
Some screens and functions may differ or may not be usable depending on the CNC version.
CAUTION
Precautions for Safety
Always read the specifications issued by the machine tool builder, this manual, related manuals and
attached documents before installation, operation, programming, maintenance or inspection to ensure
correct use. Understand this numerical controller, safety items and cautions before using the unit.
This manual ranks the safety precautions into "DANGER", "WARNING" and "CAUTION".
Note that even items ranked as " CAUTION" may lead to major results depending on the situation. In
any case, important information that must always be observed is described.
The following signs indicate prohibition and compulsory.
The meaning of each pictorial sign is as follows.
There are no "Danger" items in this manual.
When there is a great risk that the user could be subject to fatalities or serious injuries if
handling is mistaken.
When the user could be subject to fatalities or serious injuries if handling is mistaken.
When the user could be subject to injuries or when physical damage could occur if
handling is mistaken.
This sign indicates prohibited behavior (must not do).
For example, indicates "Keep fire away".
This sign indicated a thing that is pompously (must do).
For example, indicates "it must be grounded".

DANGER
1. Items related to prevention of electric shocks
Do not operate the switches with wet hands, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this may lead
to electric shocks.
1. Items related to product and manual
For the items described in the "Restrictions" and "Usable State", the instruction manual issued by the
machine maker takes precedence over this instruction manual.
Items not described in this manual must be interpreted as "not possible".
This manual has been written on the assumption that all options are provided.
Check the specifications issued by the machine maker before starting use.
Some screens and functions may differ or may not be usable depending on the CNC system version.
2. Items related to connection
When using an inductive load such as relays, always contact a diode in parallel to the load as a noise
measure.
When using a capacitive load such as a lamp, always connect a protective resistor serially to the load to
suppress rush currents.
3. Items related to design
Always turn the spindle phase synchronization completion signal ON before chucking both ends of the
workpiece to the basic spindle and synchronous spindle. If the spindle phase synchronization signal is
turned ON when both ends of the workpiece are chucked to the basic spindle and synchronous spindle,
the chuck or workpiece could be damaged by the torsion that occurs during phase alignment.
If the temperature rise detection function is invalidated with the parameters, the control could be
disabled when the temperature is excessive. This could result in machine damage or personal injuries
due to runaway axis, and could damage the device. Enable the detection function for normal use.
In order to prevent illegal transfer of bit data, use data update program.
WARNING
CAUTION
Disposal
(Note) This symbol mark is for EU countries only.
This symbol mark is according to the directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 Information for end-
users and Annex II.
Your MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and
components which can be recycled and/or reused.
This symbol means that batteries and accumulators, at their end-of-life, should be disposed of
separately from your household waste.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol shown above, this chemical symbol means that the
battery or accumulator contains a heavy metal at a certain concentration. This will be indicated as
follows:
Hg: mercury (0,0005%), Cd: cadmium (0,002%), Pb: lead (0,004%)
In the European Union there are separate collection systems for used batteries and accumulators.
Please, dispose of batteries and accumulators correctly at your local community waste collection/
recycling centre.
Please, help us to conserve the environment we live in!

2.1 Flow of Signals
2.1.1 Flow of PLC CPU and CNC CPU Data
The flow of PLC CPU and CNC CPU data is shown below.
(1) The data PLC CPU wrote into G device is automatically transmitted to each CNC CPU by the high-speed bus.
(2) The CNC data (state signal) is automatically written into the read area corresponding to each CNC CPU of PLC
CPU by the high-speed bus.
(3) For the writing area of PLC CPU (G device), the writing area (G device) is different depending on the signal for
which CNC CPU.
(4) Writing area 1 and 2 are the same data structures.
(5) Read area 1 and 2 are the same data structures.
(6) When one CNC CPU is used, writing area 1 and read area 1 are used.
(7) When two CNC CPUs are used, writing area 1 and read area 1 are used for CNC CPU#1, writing area 2 and read
area 2 are used for CNC CPU#2.
(8) Note that the head address of G device in writing area 2 corresponding to CNC CPU#2 and the head address of G
device in writing area 1 corresponding to CNC CPU#1 is different. In "3 INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNALS TABLE WITH
CONTROLLER", this is indicated like "Sharing G+1234".
(9) It is possible to change the head address "U3E0\G13072" for a writing area 2 to "U3E0\G14000" to start from a
round number.
