2. I/F DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Common Items
(1) Character code
All character string parameters in the interface of this product use UNICODE.
(2) Character string handling
With the method for handling character string data, if returning the character string data to the application,
memory is allocated on the product side. Character string data memory that is no longer needed is freed up
on the application side. If it is not freed up, a memory leak may occur.
To develop applications with custom interfaces for use with VC++, use CoTaskMemFree() to explicitly free
up character string area memory.
To develop applications with automation interfaces for use with VC++, use SysFreeString() to explicitly
free up character string area memory.
(3) Handling of common error codes
The method return value will be either for successful completion (S_OK) or failure (S_FALSE) of the
method.
A detailed method error is returned as an argument.
Commonly used error messages include the following.
EZ_ERR_NOT_OPEN: Communication lines are not open.
EZ_ERR_DOUBLE_OPEN: Double open error
EZ_ERR_DATA_TYPE: Invalid argument data type
EZ_ERR_DATA_RANGE: Invalid argument data range
EZ_ERR_NOT_SUPPORT: Not supported
EZ_ERR_NULLPTR: Argument is NULL pointer
(4) Error handling when calling an I/F incompatible with the model
If the I/F of a function not supported by the model is called, EZ_ERR_NOT_SUPPORT is output as an
unsupported error code.
(5) Notations used in Chapter 2.3 and later in this document
The meaning of notations used on pages describing individual method detailed specifications in Chapter
2.3 and later are as follows.
"□ Argument" section: Describes the argument specifications of the method.
"□ Return value" section: Describes the return values of the method.
"□ Function" section: Describes the general function of the method.
"□ Reference" section: Describes the methods related to the method.
"□ Specification" section: Indicates that specification of the system number (including PLC axis systems)
and axis numbers is necessary when executing the method. If used without specifying, note
that operation will not be guaranteed.
Required specification details are abbreviated with the following marks.
System: Set the part system number. Use SetHead() for the part system number setting.
PLC axis: Set the PLC axis system number. Use SetHead() for PLC axis system number
setting.
Axis number: Set the axis number.
2-2
In addition, even if the System mark is listed, sometimes system specification is not required according to
the argument value, as with the method in Chapter 2.12.1. For more information, see the supplementary
information described in the "□ Specification" section on an individual method's page.
(6) Restrictions on methods that require part system setting
For disabled systems, if a method that requires part system setting is executed, the method's execution
result will be null. Check beforehand whether the set system is an enabled system.
In addition, system 1 will be set after a line opens.
(7) File name specification
In this product, the Mitsubishi CNC (*1) is regarded as a single drive, and the various data on the NC
control unit (machining program, tool offset, etc.) are treated as a file. To access an NC control unit file, set
the file name according to the following form unless otherwise noted.
Drive name + ":" + \directory name + \file name
Make sure to set the file name with an absolute path.*2
Also, the drive name should correspond to an NC control unit number as follows.
NC control unit

MFF
*1: Described in the following sections of this manual as "NC control unit".
*2: Set the file name with upper-case characters.
In English-version operating systems, set by changing "¥" to a backslash.
(8) Restrictions on calls from multiple threads of the C70
With the C70, if the number of threads the product uses exceeds 1000, error codes may no longer be
output correctly.
Keep in mind the number of threads the product uses when creating a C70 application.

Conversion example) For the linear axis with the 1-µm specifications in the Metric system, when
the LONG value got is 710001,
710001 ÷
2000 = 355.0005. However, 355.0005 is rounded to minus infinity.
Therefore the result is 355.000.
Data in units of 0.5 µm (1/2000 mm) is rounded to minus infinity when displayed.
This means that +0.5 µm is displayed as 0 and -0.5 µm is displayed as -1 µm.

Conversion example) For the linear axis with the 1-µm specifications in the Metric system,
when the LONG value got is 710001,
710001 ÷ 2000 = 355.0005.
However, 355.0005 is rounded to minus infinity. Therefore the result is 355.000.
Data in units of 0.5 µm (1/2000 mm) is rounded to minus infinity when displayed.
This means that +0.5 µm is displayed as 0 and -0.5 µm is displayed as -1 µm.

statuses of these three signals in each state are shown below.
Each status represents the following type of state.
* Reset state
Automatic operation is stopped because of the reset conditions.
(All states in which the system is not operating automatically correspond to this.)
* Automatic operation stopped state
Automatic operation is stopped after executing one block.
(Single block stop corresponds to this.)
* Automatic operation pause state
Automatic operation is stopped during the execution of one block.
(The automatic operation pause (*SP) signal OFF state corresponds to this.)
* Automatic operation started state
Automatic operation is actually being executed.
Refer to the PLC Interface Manual for details.

Function
Searches directory.
In FindDir2(), information of one file can be read by reading once. To continuously get directory
information, a list of file names in the set directory can be got by calling FindNextDir2()
repeatedly. The format of file information to be stored in the area indicated by lpszFileInfo is as
follows:
File name\tSize\tDate\tComment\0
A TAB
code is inserted between file name, size, date, and comments. The end of the data
becomes a NULL code. Only information that follows file name set in the read type is stored. For
example, if “EZNC_DISK_COMMENT|EZNC_DISK_DATEis set, information is as follows:
Filename\tDate\tComment\0
If “EZNC_DISK_SIZE|EZNC_DISK_COMMENT” is set for a file to which comments cannot
be added, the comment information will not be output and the comment will be as follows:
File name\tSize\t\0
For a file from which date cannot get, setting of "EZNC_DISK_SIZE|EZNC_DISK_DATE|EZ
NC_DISK_COMMENT" becomes as follows with no date information output.
File name\tSize\t\tComment\0
* The file from which a date cannot get refers to the file on the NC control unit
side.
As the character string area memory is allocated in this product, the client using VC++ needs to
release the character string area memory explicitly with CoTaskMemFree().
(Note 1) Reading the directory size information on the NC-side compact flash (M700 series) or
SD card (M800 series) is not supported. The directory size information read is invalid.
(Note 2 ) For the C70, when the file on the personal computer is specified and 0 is specified for
lFileType,
\t is added to the end of file information got (filename\t\0).
To use file information got, remove \t before using.
Restrictions
When FindDir2() is used, FindDir2(), OpenFile3(),OpenNcFile2() cannot be executed until
ResetDir() is executed.
When executed, an error "EZNC_FILE_DIR_ALREADYOPENED (0x80030101) A different
directory is already opened" occurs. When using it, immediately execute ResetDir() after
executing FindDir2().

lpcwszDstFileName
must not be a file name that already exists. The transfer destination
directory must already exist.
In the C70, multiple program files under \PRG\
USER can be collectively copied to a file on a
personal computer. In this case, specify "*.*" as a file name for lpcwszSrcFileName (example:
M01:\PRG\USER\*.*). Set any file name on a personal computer for lpcwszDstFileName
(example: C:\PLURAL.PRG). To expand files combined into one in the C70, set any file name on
a personal computer for lpcwszSrcFileName (example: C:\PLURAL.PRG) and set "ALL.PRG" as
a file name under \PRG\USER of lpcwszDstFileName (example: M01:\PRG\USER\ALL.PRG).
This method does not check whether the set directory and file name are appropriate or not. It
is recommended to check the appropriateness of file name and directory for irregular operations
such as transfer between files with different types and applications (example: overwriting the
user program (\PRG\USER\ to.PRG) with p
arameter file (PARAMET.BIN)) or copying a file to a

lSize: Sets the number of items of parameter. The range starts from 1.
lAxis: Sets the axis whose parameter is to be got. This argument needs not be set unless the
parameter to be got is axis-dependent.
lppwszValue: Gets the parameter value as a UNICODE
character string array. Though the
character string area will internally be allocated in this product, the pointer of the
character string (for ISize
) needs to be reserved by the client. As the character
string area is internally allocated in this product, the client using VC++ needs to
release the memory area explicitly with CoTaskMemFree().
The parameter value will be got as signed value regardless of its item number. In
the case of unsigned SHORT type data "65535", "-1" will be got.

4.2 Initialization for Enabling OLE/COM Interface
The product uses the OLE/COM interface. Thus, the VC++ project must support OLE/COM. For the project
that was created without OLE/COM being enabled, it is possible to enable OLE/COM by modifying appropriate
parts of the two files created by VC++, as shown below.
Note that a project name is Project in the explanation below.
Project.cpp
BOOL CProjectApp::InitInstance()
{
// Initialize OLE library.
if (!AfxOleInit())
{
// Show error message.
return FALSE;
}
// The rest is omitted.
}
Stdafx.h
// stdafx.h: Describes standard system include files
// or project specific include files that are used frequently
// but changed infrequently.
//
#define VC_EXTRALEAN // Excludes rarely-used stuff from Windows headers.
//
#include <afxwin.h> // MFC core and standard components
#include <afxext.h> // MFC extensions
#include <afxdisp.h> // MFC OLE/COM
#ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
#include <afxcmn.h> // MFC support for Windows Common Controls
#endif // _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
4-3
4.3 Object Creation
The product uses the OLE/COM interface; therefore, objects must be created/released in the thread
where OLE/COM initialization was performed. This is not a matter of concern if your program is
single-threaded.
In the sample below, the application is for displaying position data, and it is display-centric and
single-threaded. Thus, objects are created when the View window is created, and released when the
window is closed.
First, create an IEZNcCommunication3 communication object by using CoCreateInstance in the COM library.
Then, from the created communication object, create an IEZNcPosition object and other objects by using
QueryInterface. The following shows how to create IEZNcCommunication3 and IEZNcPosition objects.

4.5 Overview of VB Programming of Automation Interface
This section explains programming with Microsoft Visual Basic (hereinafter referred to as "VB"). The VC++
programs and VB programs can be written in a similar flow; therefore, VB can be used to create a prototype
of your application and verify it at an early stage.
VB's functions that assist programming also help make programming efficient.
4.5.1 Using OLE automation interface with VB
(1) Setting references: Check (select) object libraries.
This section describes a way to enable early binding by setting references. Setting references
will enable VB's object browsing function.
(Install the product prior to this procedure.)
(2) Object browser: In your programming window, select the EZNcCommunication object.
Object browser
4-5
(3) Method browser: In your programming window, select a method for the EZNcCom object and check
its argument.
(4) Module file: Sets definitions and error code references.
Add a module file so that the definitions of the product and error codes can be used in the VB. Select
"Project", "Add a standard module", and then "Existing file" to add EZNcDef.bas, EZNcErr.bas, and
EZComErr.bas module files to the project.
Definitions and error codes can now be referred to easily through VB's object browser function.

5. APPLICATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
5.1 Overview
To redistribute the application that uses the product and to run it on other computers, it is necessary to copy
the user-developed software modules as well as files contained in the product to the computers, and set them
properly in their system registry.
This section provides the guideline and the procedure for these steps.
There are two methods to redistribute the product. Choose one that suits your application environment.
(1) Method to use the redistribution installer contained in the enclosed DVD-ROM.
(2) Method to use your own installer created according to the redistribution procedure.
<<Tips and Precautions for selecting a method>>
The method (1) above is time saving in that the installer does not need to be created. It is still necessary to
add a mechanism to execute the redistribution installer from your application's installer.
For the method (2), the installer created according to the redistribution procedure can be directly and
suitably embedded to your application's installer. This method is suitable especially when it is difficult to
embed the redistribution installer in your application's installer.
Please be aware that the product may be used by more than one application. When installing/uninstalling
your application, please make sure to follow the instructions and procedures specified in this document, to
avoid causing problems to the operation of other applications.

5.3 Terms of Redistribution
This section describes the terms of redistribution of the product.
5.3.1 Redistributable modules
Modules that can be redistributed are as follows:
Redistributable files contained in the product
Upon installation of the product on your development machine, these files are installed on the hard disk of
the machine. To make sure that the files of the correct version are distributed when redistributing the
product, copy the product from the installation DVD-ROM, not from the hard disk, and then embed it in a
disk for distribution.
5.3.2 Redistributable files
The following files that are stored on the installation DVD-ROM are redistributable. Make sure to
redistribute both the custom and automation interfaces. The following files need to be same version;
otherwise, an error may occur.
\Lib\EZSocketNc.dll: DLL for custom interface
\Lib\EZNcAutxxx.dll: DLL for automation interface
(where xxx in the file name represents a version-specific number.)
\Lib\CommServer: Related folder
\Lib\Parameter: Related folder
\Lib\Ini\melcfg.ini: Initialization file
5-9
5.4 Installation Procedure
5.4.1 Version upgrade of redistributable files
The redistributable files with the same name but with different versions (older or newer) may be distributed
by different applications. In such cases, make sure that the newer version overwrites the older version, not
the other way around. Normally the setup program performs version check. If the application does not have
a setup program, the user needs to manually check the version before embedding the redistribution program.
(Note 1) If the initialization file melcfg.ini already exists on the personal computer, do not overwrite it however
old it may be.
(Note 2) The DLL file name of the automation interface is different for different versions. Do not delete the
automation interface file that has already been installed. It will cause the application compatible with
the automation interface that has already been installed to fail-to start.
5.4.2 x86 platform
5.4.2.1 Installation directory for files
When installing the product for the first time, it can be installed in any directory. For the second or later
installation, it must be installed in the directory where the product already exists so that more than one
product does not exists on the same computer.
To meet this requirement, follow the procedure below.
(1) Determine if it is the first-time installation or not
Check if the following registry key exists and the correct path to the installation directory is registered as its
data.
Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MITSUBISHI\EZSocketNc\CurrentVersion\InstallPath
Data (Example): C:\Program Files\EZSocket\EZSocketNc
If the correct path name is registered as registry key data, the product is considered to have been installed
once or more, and if not, for instance, the registry key does not exist, or the path name is not registered, the
product is considered to have never been installed for the first time. Do not add "\" to the end of the path, or
related files cannot be read.
(2) Installing for the first time
Have the user specify the installation directory through a dialog or other appropriate method. Register the
directory in the registry as installation directory. Other registry settings also need to be configured at this time.
For details about registry settings, refer to "5.4.2.3 Registry settings".
(3) Installing from the second time onward
Install the product in the installation directory that is registered to the registry. If the installation directory
does not exist, create one. When copying files, make sure not to overwrite the new version with the old
version.
