Introduction
This is a setup manual for MITSUBISHI CNC M700VS Series.
This manual is written on the assumption that with all of the MITSUBISHI CNC M700VS Series functions are added,
but the actually delivered NC may not have all optional functions.
Refer to the specifications issued by machine tool builder to confirm the functions available for your NC before
proceeding to operation.
Notes on Reading This Manual
(1) This manual explains general parameters as viewed from the NC.
For information about each machine tool, refer to manuals issued from the machine tool builder.
If the descriptions relating to "restrictions" and "allowable conditions" conflict between this manual and the
machine tool builder's instruction manual, the later has priority over the former.
(2) This manual is intended to contain as much descriptions as possible even about special operations.
The operations to which no reference is made in this manual should be considered "impossible".
(3) The "special display unit" explained in this manual is the display unit incorporated by the machine tool builder,
and is not the MITSUBISHI standard display unit.
(4) This manual is for the machine tool builders who set up the NC system.
If the descriptions relating to the "restrictions" and "allowable conditions" conflict between this manual
and the machine tool builder’s instruction manual, the latter has priority over the former.
The operations to which no reference is made in this manual should be considered "impossible".
This manual is complied on the assumption that your machine is provided with all optional functions. Refer
to the specifications issued by machine tool builder to confirm the functions available for your NC before
proceeding to operation.
In some NC system versions, there may be cases that different pictures appear on the screen, the machine
operates in a different way or some function is not activated.
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 sings indicate prohibition and compulsory.
The meaning of each pictorial sing is as follows.
Not applicable in this manual.
Do not cancel the emergency stop before confirming the basic operation.
When the user may be subject to imminent fatalities or major injuries if handling is
mistaken.
When the user may be subject to fatalities or major injuries if handling is mistaken.
When the user may be subject to injuries or when physical damage may 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".

1. Items related to product and manual
If the descriptions relating to the "restrictions" and "allowable conditions" conflict between this manual
and the machine tool builder's instruction manual. the latter has priority over the former.
The operations to which no reference is made in this manual should be considered "impossible".
This manual is complied on the assumption that your machine is provided with all optional functions.
Confirm the functions available for your machine before proceeding to operation by referring to the
specification issued by the machine tool builder.
In some NC system versions. there may be cases that different pictures appear on the screen, the machine
operates in a different way on some function is not activated.
2. Items related to faults and abnormalities
If the battery low warning is issued, save the machining programs, tool data and parameters in an input/
output device, and then replace the battery. When the battery alarm is issued, the machining programs, tool
data and parameters may have been destroyed. Replace the battery and then reload the data.
3. Items related to setup
Always set the stroke end and stroke limit. Failure to set this could result in collision with the machine end.
Do not adjust the spindle when possible risks associated with adjustment procedures are not thoroughly
taken into consideration.
Be careful when touching spindle's rotating section, or your hand may be caught in or cut.
The analog output R registers are allocated in ascending order of channels and station numbers
automatically. Therefore, the analog output destination may change depending on the added option.

4. Items related to maintenance
Do not replace the battery while the power is ON.
Do not short-circuit, charge, overheat, incinerate or disassemble the battery.
Dispose the spent battery according to the local laws.
Do not connect or disconnect the cables between units while the power is ON.
Do not pull the cables when connecting/disconnecting them.
Do not replace the backlight while the power is ON.
Dispose the spent backlight according to the local laws.
Do not touch the backlight while the power is ON. Failure to observe this could result in electric shocks due
to high voltage.
Do not touch the backlight while the LCD panel is in use. Failure to observe this could result in burns.
Do not apply impact or pressure on the LCD panel or backlight. Failure to observe this could result in
breakage as they are made of glass.
Incorrect connections could cause devices to damage. Connect the cables to designated connectors.
Do not replace the control unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the display unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the keyboard unit while the power is ON.
Do not replace the operation panel I/O unit while the power is ON.
5. Items related to servo parameters and spindle parameters
Do not adjust or change the parameter settings greatly as operation could become unstable.
In the explanation on bits, set all bits not used, including blank bits, to "0".
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!
