1. Outline
The M6 Maintenance Tool is used when performing maintenance on a CNC shipped to the machine
maker, end user, etc. The tool has the following functions.
1) Memory Backup function
2) Serial number, CNC type and unit type setting function
3) Servo, spindle F/w download function
4) Memory backup by command line function
The M6 Maintenance Tool is provided as an HR98x cassette, and is used mounted on C-BUS #2 of the
CNC. The M6 Maintenance Tool is operated usina a VDS. Because of this, a VDS and cable that can
be connected to the CNC are required.
[Supplement]
*l : System, boot ROM upgrades
. The system and boot ROM are not upgraded by the maintenance tool. These are upgraded
using cassettes specially dedicated for upgrading.
*2 :’ PLC (ladder) upgrades
PLc’s are upgraded following the appropriate method for each model.
-l-

2. Work Environment
Connect the VDS to serial port 1 on the CNC side of the actual device. If using a notebook personal
computer with a Windows 95 (Windows 98) system as the VDS, the standard “HyperTerminal” program
can be used. Refer to the Appendix for details on how to start “HyperTerminal”.
Serial cable
2.1 Items to prepare
l M6 Maintenance Tool (HR98x cassette). *
l VDS or notebook personal computer that can be used as a VDS.
l DSUB 25pin serial cable (CNC side connector). Note that because the operation board differs
according to the model, the correct cable must be confirmed.
l Accuracy driver (required for changing the rotary switch).
2.2 Setting the HR98x castiette
The M6 Maintenance Tool is provided as an HR98x cassette. Set the HR98x as follows.
HR98x card ,Expa”s’l C-BUS
Mounton C-BUS #2 of the HR113 card
Setting pin : Leave open (no setting pin).
Rotary switch 1 : Use for automatic servo download. Normally set to 0.
Rotary switch 2 : Not used. Set to 0.

2.3 Mounting the maintenance tool cassette
The following shows the cassette mounting location.
1) The maintenance tool (HR98x cassette) is mounted on C-BUS #2 of the HR113 or HRl 11 card.
2) Depending on the functions to be used, cassettes for memory backup or cassettes for copying
FROM cassettes may be mounted in addition to the maintenance tool (HR98x cassette). Mount the
cassettes using the following drawing as a reference.
(Note) Always mount/remove cassettes with the CNC power OFF

3. Starting and Ending the M6 Maintenance Tool
3.1 Starting the tool
Two types of start modes can be selected by setting the rotary switch on top of the main CPU
(HFil KM-Ml 11) (The rotary switch always returns to its original setting after the operation is completed,
so check the current setting to be sure it is correct.)
CPU rotary
switch Start mode Outline
Set the main CPU rotary switch to “B”, and turn ON the CNC power.
B Normal mode The maintenance tool menu screen will appear on the VDS. Select
the required tool from the menu and execute. The servo download
function can also be carried out in the normal mode.
Set the main CPU rotary switch to “9”. Set the HR98x rotary switch
Automatic servo 1 to the number of the module to be downloaded, and turn ON the
9 F/W download CNC power. The selected module will be automatfcaiiy~
mode downloaded. Refer to the section titled ‘Servo and spindle
downloading’ for details.
* Supplement : When starting the maintenance tool by a CNC with personal computer,
the tool will not be started if the personal computer side is in a reset status.
3.2 Ending the tool
Turn OFF the CNC power when the operation is finished. The personal computer side is not started
even for a CNC with personal computer, so there is no problem if the CNC power is turned OFF in this
state.
After turning OFF the CNC power, remove the M6 Maintenance Tool cassette and any other cassettes
used in the maintenance. Return the main CPU rotary switch to the setting it was at before carrying out
the operation.

3.3 Main menu
The following menu appears on the VDS when the M6 Maintenance Tool is started in the normal mode.
5” (prompt) appears at the bottom of the screen, waiting for the command input. When a menu No.
from the VDS is input and [Enter] is pressed, the screen changes to the corresponding tool function.

M6 Maintenance Tool commands
I) Memory Back Up
This command is used to back up the FROM and SFtAM data of cassettes mounted on the on-
board FROM, SFtAM or C-BUS #l to the C-BUS #2 backup cassette.
2) Serial Number and CNC type, Unit type Set
This command is used to set the CNC serial No., CNC type, and unit type.
3) Servo, Spindle Down Load
This command is used to download the servo and spindle F/w to the amplifier.
4) Command tine Mode
This command is used to designate a command and address in the command line and backs it up
to the memory backup.
This command differs from the method for menu commands 1) to 3), in that the commands are
M500 offline monitor-type interactive format commands.

4. Memory Back Up
This command is used to back up the FROM and SFWM data of cassettes mounted on the on-board
FROM, SRAM or C-BUS #l to the C-BUS #2 backup cassette.
4.1 Preparation
Mount the Maintenance Tool cassette (HR98x) on C-BUS #2. Mount the cassette to be used for
memory backup on the expansion C-BUS of the maintenance tool (HR98x). Refer to the section titled
“Mounting the maintenance tool cassette” for details when mounting the cassette.
HR Series or QX Series ROM cassettes can be used for memory backup.
