INTRODUCTION.
FANUC Offline software is a very powerful Educational and

Industrial system. In Education students can learn to program GNG
Machine Tools at the computer and prove the program through an
animated graphical simulation of the cutter path.
In Industry the ability to prove out Gnc part programs away

from the machine in a clean and quiet environment and store programs on
Disk media has many obvious advantages.
The GNG Desk Top Tutor overcomes problems at group training,

offering true M.D.I. programmimg at the computer.

(Note type "FANUCLO H for DESK TOP TUTOR)
RUNNING FROM HARD DISK.
We recommend that a Directory called "DENFORD" IS created,
unless it already exists from previous software
INSTALLATIONS.
Copy all the Disks into the "DENFORD" Directory with
the COpy command:
Example:- COpy A:*.* C:\DENFORD
Change Directory to "DENFORD" and type "FANUCL"
(Type "FANUCLD" for DESK TOP TUTOR)
1.3 CONFIGURATION

• 1. To change screen types.
• 2. To change the clock speed tick value.
• 3. To set the number of serial ports.
If you are on a Hard Disk change the Directory to "DENFORD"
with a Floppy system place Disc one (System disc) into the Drive.
Type FANUCL -c (FANUCLD -c for DESK TOP TUTOR)
Follow the prompts on the screen to configure your software.
On a Floppy system you will need to use the Drivers Disc.
AMSTRAD 1512/1640

a) Place the Data Disc in Drive B
b) Set the path to b:
HARD DISC DRIVE
a) Decide which Directory to use.
b) Set the path to your Directory.
1.5 MACHINE LINK CONFIGURATION
The link to the enc Machine Tool depends on which controller

has been fitted.
Denford's provide a selection of controls to cover different levels

of Training and Industry. To communicate to any controller there needs to
be a physical connection between the computer and the control. This is
done through the RS232 serial port.
COMPUTER SERIAL PORTS.
Computers can have several serial ports attached:
Located at the rear of the computer a serial port can be either a

25pin or 9pin type. Some computers have one of each type.
Serial ports are assigned a name (COM1 or COM2): You need

to decide which port you will be using for communicating to the controller.
We supply cables already configured. All you need to do is to

plug them into the computer and the controller.
If you want to make your own cables because of distance or

you require a 25pin - 9pin converter. Details of how to do this can be
found in the cables section of this manual.
CNC CONTROLLER SERIAL PORTS
The connection can differ between 7pin din plugs to 25pin serial
connectors. Your Machine Manual will have more information on the control.
Some controls need to be configured correctly, although this will

probably have been done by Denford's.
If you can't find the relevant information in your machine

manual contact Denford's hotHne support team who will be glad to
help.

Typical Settings File
Most of the settings are self explanatory, but selecting from

the Menu Options is easier than editing the file. Some settings options can
only be changed by loading a Settings file and adding the extra options.
Because a control might have changed over the years we

have the ability to change various settings to make the software compatible
with all controls.
The vast majority of end user's won't have any modifications at

all.
An example of a setting change that might be required can

be seen below, where the HJGHSPINOLE has a value of 5000. The same
control might be on a machine with a faster spindle motor so the top
spindle speed will be higher.
If the traverse distance on the "X" axis is different this can be

changed by editing the MOVERANGEX value.
IMPORTANT
The parameters in the Settings file are always in Metric.

The billet definition should be placed at the start of a program,

after the units of measure have been set.
[BILLET X30.0 Z50.0 defines the billet as 50mm long with a

diameter of 30mm (IT diameter programming is active).

Return To confirm.
Esc To quit.
We supply over 30 predefined Toolshapes with the software.
You can also add more shapes of your own designs.
1.22 DEFINING TOOLSHAPES.
Toolshapes can be written in text format or passed over to the

system from Cad using the DXF interface.
Each Toolfile contains the following:
Any number of comments preceded by the J (' open bracket.
A name for the Tool. This can be a Tool reference number or a

short description.
Two lines may be used for an information Title. This will be

displayed with the ToolShape. For example it is a good idea to put the sizes
of the Toolshapes down, especially Boring Bars.
The geometry of the Toolshape in absolute will follow. These are

all line or arc moves. This format is compatible with DXF geometry. Simple
shapes can be typed in. A Drill for instance changes on Diameter so taking
an existing Drill shape and changing the Diameter can be done in the editor.
CONVERTING TOOLSHAPES.
Load FANUCL.GRT file into an Editor and add a Toolshape, at

any position in the file before or after an existing Toolshape.
Save the file to Disk.
DXF TO TOOLSHAPE FILE.
To convert from Dxf to Tooishape data use the file

DXF_TEXT.8xe. You can only convert one shape at a time.
Type DXF_TEXT.EXE followed by the Drive letter, Directory and

Dxf filename. Example:- DXF_TEXT.EXE c:\acad\tooI1 (
Once the Dxf file has been converted it can be merged into the
ToolFile and the Tooishape name and information added.

1.24 HELP SCREENS
All the help screens that appear in the software can be

configured, amended and added to by the end user. This isn,t however an
easy job and care must be taken to produce good results.
All the help is stored in two files on Disc.
1 - The compiled version is "FANUCL.MSG" .
( FANUCLD.MSG for the DESK TOP TUTOR version)
2 - The text version is L1FANUCL TXT" extension.
( FANUCLD.TXT for the DESK TOP TUTOR version
The Text file can be loaded into any word processor or even
into the Cnc Editor. Changes can be made and the new file can be saved to
Disk.
IMPORTANT
Keep the original copy of the text file incase the changes you
have made, result in errors during compilation.
Once the changes have been made and a new file has been
saved to disk you can produce a compiled version. It is the
compiled version that is integrated within-the software, simply changing the
Text file will not alter the Help used by the software.
HOW TO COMPILE A NEW HELP FILE.
On the Drivers Disk supplied with the system you will find a file
called "MESSAGES.EXE". This will have been copied over when you
installed the system if you are on a Hard Drive.
COMPILING FROM HARD DRIVE.
Make sure the new file is stored in the same Directory as

the software and you are in the Directory. For example if you have
created a Directory called "DENFORD,"
TYPE:- CD\DENFORD
Then
TYPE> MESSAGES FANUCL
(FANUCLD for the DESK TOP TUTOR version)
You will have to wait a few seconds before a compilation

completed message appears.
If you are successful run the software again to see the changes.
If you get an error, read the following section on How Help Screens Work.
COMPILING FROM FLOPPY DRIVE

Make sure the new file is saved on the Drivers Disk where the
MESSAGES.EXE file exists.
TYPE:- MESSAGES FANUCL
-- -
A new FANUCL.MSG ( FANUCLD.MSG for the DESK TOP
TUTOR version )file will be created which can be copied over onto the
main program Disk, overwriting the original Help.
HOW HELP SCREENS WORK
The Help file contains different types of information, to locate

a particular entry you need to understand the structure of the Help file.
HELP FILE STRUCTUlRE
Comments Example (This is a comment
Comments start with an open brack.et and can be

inserted anywhere in the Help file. They are ignored by the compiler and
are only to help the end user document the Help file.
Page Start
Example IHELP PAGE1 AI
Example IG and M Code 'Errors I
Each Page Start begins with a tramline character followed by the

Page name. Actual Help Pages have a page designated by a letter from A
to Z.
A page start can be
a) Help section.
b) Error section.
c) Information.
Important
It is vital that the pages relating to error messages, fast key strips
and text that are used directly by the software are not altered. The software
relies on each line being in sequence. Help screens that are used with the
F1 key can be placed anywhere, but we suggest you put them at the end of
the program.
CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP
HOW IT WORKS
To insert a new Help Page you first decide what type of help
aAd where the help should be placed.
For example we might like a lesson on Cnc programming to be

available by pressing the F1 key during edit mode. At the moment pressing
the F1 key during edit may display the paragraph below.
EDIT AND SIMULATE

You are now editing a CNC program. A variety of instructions
can be keyed in on each line. At any time you can start a simulation of the
machining of your program via the F9 m':3nu.
Whilst typing, characters will appear at the cursor position. The

cursor is the flashing underscore or the steady blob.
EDIT KEYS
eNC INSTRUCTIONS
How to add a Cnc lesson as a sub menu:
1 - We decide what the menu option should be called, in this

case we shall call it "Cnc Lessons".
2 - A name for the Help Page we want to display when we

select Cnc Lessons. In this case LESSON1.
3 - Load the Help File into the Cnc Editor and locate
the Help page displayed above. You will find the start of the page near to
line 676,
The page start is IEDIT AND SIMULATE I which is called up by

pressing F1 when in the Edit and Simulate Mode.
4 - At the bottom of the Help Text you will see the sub menu's
being referenced.
,
5 - Add #Cnc Lessons#LESSON1 A to the list
6 ~ Go to the end of the file to write the Help screen
for LESSON 1.
7 - Type I LESSON1 AI this is the start of Lesson1 and

the page number is 'A'. Always use capital letters for Page Starts.
8 - On the next line write a titre for the Help Screen, try enc
lesson One.
9 - Now you can write the actual text making sure the lines are
no longer than 47 characters.
10 - If you want more room for the enc Lesson you can start a
new page by typing I LESSON1 B I
enc Lesson one Page 2 Followed by the Text.
11 - If you want sub~menu's to be displayed on your new Help

page simply place the referencing commands at the bottom of the Help
Page. Example #G and M code#HELP PAGE1 A
12 - Upon completion save the new Help File and compile to

Disk. Run the software to test the changes.
Good luck!.

3.1 WORD DETAILS
Although the Control will, in general, accept part programming

words in any sequence, it is recommended that the word order for each
block is used:.
N.G. X or U.Z or W.I.K.F.S.T.M.
0: Program Number
The : followed by a 4 digit numerical value is used to assign a
program number.
N : Sequence Number
The N word may be omitted. When programmed, the sequence
number following the N address is a four digit numerical value and is used
to identify a complete block of information. Although ascending, decending,
or duplicate numbering is allowed, it is best to program in ascending order
in increments of 10. This allows for future editing and simplified
sequence number search.
G ~
Preparatory Command
The two digit G command is programmed to set up the control to
pertorm an automatic machine operation. A full list of G codes are given.
One G word from each modal group and one non modal G word can be
programmed on the same block.
EXAMPLE:
Valid N100 GOO G40 G90 G95
Nonvalid N100 GOO G4Q G41 G90 G95

.840 & 841 are from the same group.
A retained G word (Modal) from one group remains active until
another 8 word from the same group is programmed.
One-shot G words (Non-Modal) must be programmed in every

block when required.

NOTES FOR G CODE LISTING
Note 1:
G Codes of 00 group represent those non modular and are
effective to the designated block.
Note 2:
G Codes of differerlt groups can be commanded to the same
block. If more than one G codes from the same group are commanded, the
later becomes effective.
AxiS Definitions:
Z Axis
The Z axis is along a line between the spindle and the tailstock or
the centre line of rotation of the spindle. Minus (-) movements of the turret
are left toward the headstock; positive (+) movements are right toward the
tailstock.
X Axis
The X axis is 90 degrees from the Z axis (perpendicular to the Z
axis). Minus (-) movements of tbe turret are toward the centre line of
rotation, and positive (+) movements are away from the centre line of
rotation.
X : X Axis Command
The X word is programmed as a diameter which is used to
command a change in position perpendicular to the spindle centreline.
U : X Axis Command
The U word is an incremental distance (diameter value) which is
used to command a change in position perpendicular to the spindle centre
line. The movement is the programmed value.
Z : Z Axis Command
The Z word is an absolute dimension which is used to command
a change in position parallel to the spindle centreline.
W : Z Axis Command
The W word is an incremental distance which is used to
command a change of position parallel to the spindle centreline.
Do not program X & U or Z & W in the same block.
If an X axis command calls for no movement it may be

omitted.
x JU or P : Dwell
The X word is used with G04 to command a dwell in seconds.
I WORD
a) G40 active
For arc programming (G02 or G03) the I value (With sign) is

programmed to define the incremental distance parallel with the X axis
between the cutter centre and the component arc centre at the start of arc.
92 OFPUNEPROGRAMMING
(
b) G41/G42 Active
For arc progranming (G02 or G03) the I value (With sign) is

programmed to define the incremental distance parallel to the X axis
between the start of the arc and the arc centre.
c) Used in automatic cycles
KWORD
a) G40 Active
For arc programming (802 or G03) the K value (with sign) is

programmed to define the incremental distance parallel with The Z axis
between the cutter centre and the component arc centre at the start of arc.
b) G41/G42 AcUve
For arc programming (G02 or G03 ) the K value (with sign) is

programmed to define the incremental distance parallel to the Z axis
between the start of the arc and the arc centre.
c) Used in automatic cycJes.
The maximum arc for I & K programming is limited to the

quadrant. If I or K is zero it must be omitted.
FWORD
a) In G99 mode the F word is used to command feed/rev.
b) In G98 mode the F word is lJsed to command feed/min.
c) In G32 mode the F word specifies the lead' of the thread.
P WORD
a) Used in automatic cycles to define the first block of the
contour. See Section 5.5
b) Used with G10 to define the offset number in the tool

geometry file.
c) Used to define a subroutine number.
OFFllNE PROGRAMMING 93
aWORD
Used in automatic cycles to define the last block of the contour.
See section 5.5
RWORD
a) For circular interpolation (G02 or G03) the arc radius is to the
centre of the tool nose radius (G40 active) ~ or the actual radius required
(G41/G42 active).
b) The R word is programmed with G10 to indicate the tool

radius in the tool geometry/wear file for use with work surface programming
(G41/G42).
SWORD
a) In the constant surface speed mode (G96) the four digit S
word is used to command the required surface speed in either feet or
metres per minute.
b) In the direct r.p.m. mode (G97) the four digit S word is used to
command a finite number of spindle speeds in r.p.m. increments between
the ranges available for the machine (see Machine Specification).
c) Prior to entering the constant surface speed mode (G96) the S

word is used to specify a speed constraint, the maximum speed allowable in
the current gear range, or less, to prevent the spindle overspeeding. To
command this restraint the S word is programmed in conjunction with the
G50 word only.
TWORD
Tool words are used to cause a tool change, and to activate tool
geometry offsets to obtain the desired machining accuracy.
The first two digits in the T word (01-16 depending on the
number of tool stations) are used to describe a turret station number.
The third and forth digits of the T word are used to activate a pair
of offsets (01-16) that allow the operator to compensate for tool wear, tool
length deviations, and tool deflections. The pair of offsets consists of one for
X axis compensation and the other for Z axis compensation. These initial
values are based on the incremental distance with sign from the tool tip to
the turret datum. For the X value only the value is doubled (diameter
programming). Programming 00 for these two digits cancels the tool offset.

3-2-1 BASIC MOVEMENTS
i) Straight Une Motion (GOO, G01) (Descriptions of the

appropriate 'G' codes are given in Section 5.2.3 ).
Almost all motion commands will be programmed as straight line

motion for moving to or cutting along diameters, faces and angles. During
cutting statements, it is only when an arc is to be generated that it will be
necessary to change this mode of operation.
Any point on a component can be defined by X & Z dimensions.
In absolute programming the programmer commands the tool

into move to a position which is relevant to a component zero. The direction
of motion is determined by the system and is dependant on the previous
,
position of the tool (Le. if the new position in 'X' is larger that the last ...-/'
position then the tool will move away from the spindle centre line).
In incremental programming the programmer commands the tool

point to move to a new position which is a specific distance and direction
from its previous position. The direction of motion is determined by the sign
of the value for the command (i.e. if the command in 'X' is U-1.0 then the
tool will move towards the spindle centre line).

3~3~1 PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
The following procedure may be used as a guide to assist the

programmer, by describing each step required in preparing the method of
production. Before writing the part program a detailed planning procedure is
required.
Planning Procedure
.1. Receive part drawing. From part drawing information, check
suitability of part to be machined against the machine capacity
(clearan ces) .
• 2. Determine a method of driving the component (chuck type,
chuck size, type of jaw, collet, collet size, face driver etc) and the
method of machining.
• 3. Determine the tooling required to suit the method of machining
and utilise as much as possible the tools which are permanently in
the turret set up on the machine.
• 4. Determine the order of machining and the tooling stations.
• 5. Determine planned stops (cycle interrupt procedure incorpora
ting block delete codes) for checking dimensional sizes where re
quired by the operator.
• 6. Determine cutting speeds bearing in mind the following:
• a) Component material, method of driving, rigidity of component
• b) The tooling selected: toolholders with carbide inserts, the grade
of the carbide insert selected, carbide drills, high speed steel drills,
ceramics; for roughing and finishing operations.
• 7. Determine depths of cut and feeds for roughing operations bear
ing in mind the horsepower/kilowatts available for cutting and the
rigidity of the part.
• 8. Determine from surface finish requirements the cutter nose
radius most suited for the finishing operations and determine fee
drates.
• 9. Allocate tool offsets as required.
• 10. Complete planning sheet
106 OFFUNEPROG~~MING
PROG,RAMM,ING PROC'EDURE
.1. After completing the planning sheet draw the component to

scale showing the cutter paths (a scale drawings is not mandatory
where the component shape and the cutting paths are simple. A
sketch may prove sufficient) .
• 2. Select a component datum and dimension in scale drawing (or
sketch) with the length and diameter of cuts relative to the compo
nent datum. Carry out necessary calculations at slopes and arcs.
• 3. Draw tooling layout sheet showing tools to be used in the pro
gram and indicate the station numbers for each tool.
.4. Complete the tooling layout sheet by indicating the ordering
code for each tool and the grade and type of inserts to be used.
• 5. Commence writing starting procedure onto program sheets.

3-3-2 PROGRAM AND SUBROUTINIE ID'ENTIIFICATION

Ouring th:e programming: procedure (5-4-1 Planning and

Programming Procedure), step 2 required that a component datum be
selected in order to dimension a scale drawing, the positi'oning of an
absolute zero point on the component is not required for incremental
programming. The programmer chooses zero to lie on some position in the
Z plane (the zero position for X will always lie on the spindle centre line), at
a position which is convenient to describe component lengths. For the

current operation a zero position which has been selected for a first
operation may not be the required position for the second operation.
The zero positidn is the datum from which all component

co-ordinate values are referred. To establish this position relative to the
machine zero, WORK SHIFT is available. The statements are as follows:
• Z = Set up value Z.
This is the incremental distance (with sign) from the component
zero to the machine datum .
• Example:
This will move the zero position from the machine datum to a
position 200mm towards the chuck.
The value is entered into the control via the keyboard as part of
machine setting procedure.
How to datum axis can be found in section 4.7
After initial power up and slide reference has taken place the
position registers will read Zero. Each tool is selected whereby its cutting
edge becomes (X,Z) of the co-ordinate system.
All tools can be set in turn and their values stored in the tool
offset register.

3·3·3 FORMATTING (INITIALISATION)
Formatting is to provide the control, with a standardised pattern of

input data. This is also referred to as Initialisation or Safe Start. The control
system will only pertorm the operations that it has been instructed to
perform and no more.
Typical formatting conditions are:

a) G20, G21 Inch, Metric
b) GOO, G01 Rapid, Feed Movement.
c) G40, G41, G42 Tool Nose Radius Compensation
d) G98, G99 Feed Imin, Irev.
e) G96, G97 CSS, Direct r.p.m.
f) S .... M03, M04 Spindle Speed and Direction.

A dwell is a progr.ammed time delay, the duration of wllich is

programmed in the 'X', 'U' or 'po Words.
For the slides to remain motionless for 1 second the following

example is programmed.:
N100 G01 210.0 F1.0 Feed to position.
N110 G04 X1.0 1 1 second duration.
N120 G01 X Z.. .,.... Continue.

Alternatively block N11 0 cOLltd read:
N110 G04 U1.0 1 second duration.
OR
N110 G04 P1000 1 second duration.
For the slides to remain motionless in terms of revolutions the

current r.p.m. must be known and the length of dwell based on that speed.

3-3-5 BAR FEED, BAR PULL:
Continuous Cycle:
For machines fitted with a bar feed/bar pUll system the
continuous cycle feature will be supplied. This feature is activated by:
Continuous Cycle - N.... M99 P, ...
If it is programmed before the M30 the machine will automatically

repeat the part program when the 'BAR FEED ON' pushbutton is switched
on,
The continuous cycle can be stopped by:

• a) End of bar signal from the bar feed:
This switches "BAR FEED OFF" and stops cycles.
• b) End of Bar Detection:
This feature is usually used with bar pull operations. The spindle
must run for I second at approximately 100 r.p.m. to check the bar stock
situation.
To enable either bar feed or pull operations the spindle must be

stopped (M05 active).
