ProfDia Machine Setup
Important Parameter Settings in FANUC control Alpha 0iD and up
To successfully use the ProfDia Software with the FANUC EDM, the following parameters need to be set on the control by a Fanuc Technician or Engineer.
Note
The parameter list below applies to FANUC EDM models Alpha 0iD and newer. For older Fanuc EDM models please consult the installation check list which comes with the software. The Parameternamedescriptions have changed on the Alpha CiC machines, please check the correct chapter for your machine.
Notes
Straightness Clearance Option
Do not enable the
Straightness Clearance Optionin the Handy Settings. This will modify/reset internal CNC parameters
CNC Parameters Fanuc Alpha CiC and newer
| Param. No | Bit | Value | Function / Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1008[A] | 0 | 1 | Rotary Axis Roll over is Valid (1) (ROA) |
| 1008[A] | 1 | 0 | Move A-Axis the shortest way to programmed position (RAB) |
| 1008[A] | 2 | 1 | Relative coordinates (RRL) are rounded by the amount of the shift per one rotation (1) |
| 1420 | e.g. 1080 for Hirschmann Rotary | Rotation speed for A-axis, Value probably dependent on brand and type of A-axis | |
| 3454 | 4 | 1 | Enable “bit-setting” with argument “Q” via program |
| 15150 | 0 | 1 | Disable block ahead reading at M00/M01 (BST) |
| 15320 | 0 | 1 | Macro variable range > 13000 available (MEX) |
| 15820 | 0 | 0 | Straightness compensation OFF (WCC) |
| 15886 | 0 | 0 | Trimm function OFF (WNT) |
| 16980 | 7 | 1 | Switch on PCD Generator (if available) |
| 16981 | 2 | 1 | Enables Collision detection (Abnormal probe status) |

A-axis machine position display
To limit the displayed position range to 0 – 359.9999 the following parameter has to be set:
Values are for A-Axis:
| Param. No | Bit | Value | Function / Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1006 | 0 | 1 | Limit A-Axis Machine Position Display |
| 1006 | 1 | 0 | Limit A-Axis Machine Position Display |

(If 1006#1 = 1 then display counts up to 9999)
Warning
Machine has to be in home position
Disable A-Axis limits
Values are for A-Axis:
| Param. No | Bit | Value | Function / Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1320 | - | -1 (or -3600) | Disable A-Axis Limits |
| 1321 | - | 1 (or 3600) | Disable A-Axis Limits |
