When configuring a large network or expanding an existing network,consult with your network manager to set an IP address, subnet mask, androuter IP address.

This subsection describes the settings required to operate theFOCAS1/Ethernet function (or DNC1/Ethernet function) when theembedded Ethernet function for the Series 16i/18i/21i/160i/180i/210i/160is/180is/210is–B is used.

CAUTION

When using the embedded Ethernet function for the firsttime, make various settings including IP address settingcarefully and conduct a communication test sufficiently,consulting with your network manager.Note that if an incorrect IP address is set, for example, theentire network can suffer from a communication error.

NOTE

1 The FOCAS1/Ethernet function allows up to five FOCAS1/Ethernet clients to be connected to one CNC.

2 If multiple application software products or multiplepersonal computers access the CNC simultaneously, thecommunication load on the CNC can increase, resulting indecreased communication speed and degraded CNCscreen display processing.

(b)Type 192.168.1.1 with the MDI keys.

(c) Press the [INPUT] soft key or the function key INPUT to enter the

data.

This stores the parameter in the nonvolatile memory of the CNC.

NOTE

Turn on the power again so that you should make a changedparameter effective.Or, push soft key [RESET] on the maintenance screen ofembedded Ethernet.


629

Method of lowercase character input

The method of entering lowercase characters when specifying a username, password, and login DIR is described below.



3 Move the cursor to a desired input item with cursor keys.

4 When the [UNLOCK] soft key is displayed, uppercase characters areactually entered through MDI keys. For lowercase character input,press the [UNLOCK] soft key. The soft key display changes from[UNLOCK] to [LOCK].

5 Then, press the MDI keys A through Z. All of these characters areentered as lowercase characters.

6 To enter uppercase characters, press the [LOCK] soft key.

Method of entering a long character string

The method of entering a character string longer than 32 characters forspecifying a login DIR is described below.As an example, the processing for setting the character string”/NCDATA/NCPROGRAM/LINE001/GROUP002” is described.



Procedure

Procedure


630

3 Move the cursor to LOGIN DIR with cursor keys.

4 Press the [STRING] soft key. The cursor position and soft key displaychange as shown below.


631

5 Type ”/NCDATA/NCPROGRAM/LINE001/GROUP0” with theMDI keys, then press the [INPUT] soft key.

6 Next, type the remaining character string ”02” with the MDI keys, thenpress the [INPUT] soft key.

[Tip]For example, even if the character string is divided into”/NCDATA/NCPROGRAM” and ”/LINE001/GROUP002” for twoinput operations the same result can be obtained.


632

7 To insert ”/FACTORY0010” between ”NCPROGRAM” and”/LINE001”, move the cursor to ”/” prefixed to ”LINE001” then type”/FACTORY0010” with the MDI keys. Finally, press the [INSERT]soft key.

8 To delete a character, move the cursor to the character to be deleted,then press the [DEL.CH] soft key. This operation deletes a characteron which the cursor is placed one at a time.

9 To overwrite a character, move the cursor to the character to beoverwritten, then type a desired character with the MDI key. Finally,press the [INPUT] soft key. This operation overwrites a character onwhich the cursor is placed.

10 Upon completion of character string input, press the [RETURN] softkey. This operation returns the cursor position and soft key display tothe state of step 1, and stores the set data in the nonvolatile memoryof the CNC.


633

Method of entering special characters

The method of entering special characters such as ”\” unavailable with theMDI keys is described below.As an example, the procedure for setting the character string ”PROG$”is described.



3 Move the cursor to LOGIN DIR with cursor keys.

4 Type ”PROG” with the MDI keys, then press the continuous menu keyat the right end of the soft key display.

NOTE

Those characters unavailable with the MDI keys that areused frequently such as :, ¥, $, and _ can be entered usingsoft keys. To enter a character other than these characters,set the ASCII code of the character in a parameter fromparameters No. 931 through No. 935.For details, see Subsection 17.3.3.3, ”Parameters”.
