Hello everyone,

Working on an automation project, I wrote a simple call program in the CNC_MEM using M198 to call another program from the Data Server.
I'm working on a Fanuc 31i Model B5
When I try to run it, I always get the PS1079 Error "Program File not Found"

- The I/O Channel is set to 5 (#20 = 5)
- Parameter #3030 is set to 0
- Parameter #3233.1 is set to 0
- Parameter #3404.2 is set to 0
- The Data Server is used in FTP mode meaning that I transfer the subprogram using an Ethernet connection to it

Is it possible to have such process (FTP mode and call from the DS in FTP mode) ?
Do you have any clues to solve this issue ?

Regards,

Damien

Hi Damien,

Befor we start, did you try to run the M198 from CF-card (PCMCIA) before you started from Data Server an did it work ?
I had problems with the M198-call, I used an extension and 3-digit progam number for the sub-program.
This is the way for my Fanuc 0i-MF control how to handle M198 from CF-Card.

Testprogram, M198 subprogram with Memory-CARD.

Parameters:
20 = 4 (Channel)
138 * #7 = 1
3404 #2 = 1
6030 = 0

Sub-program O1801 on CF_CARD via PCMCIA, O1801 WITHOUT extension !!!!!
Programnumber needs 4 digits f.e. O1234, not O123 !!!

Program O1800.NC ( or O1800.txt ) stored in machines MEMORY:
%
O1800 ( TEST-M198-CALL-SUB-O1801 )
M198 P1801 L10 ( REPEAT 10X SUB-O1801 )

Sub-program O1081 on CF-CARD, no extension !!

Hi Heavy_Metal !

Solved my problem this weekend after digging deep into the manuals for the Data server/Fast Ethernet functions.
Even if not obviously stated in the books, the DS needed to in STORAGE mode and not in FTP mode for me to access it with a M198 from CNCMEM

Problem solved and everything works fine !

Anyway, thanks for your help,

regards,

Damien
