Am I missing something in this ladder display? I don’t see any Adress or pinout in the ladder. I’m trying to do the same as threadstarter. Sorry for necroing a old thread but it was about the same thing.
edit: it was not showing due to lack of brightness. Adjusted the pot on the display and it’s all good. I don’t have a G127.5 tho so I’m fckd :(

Depends on the version of the 0 you have.
Usually an external toggle switch has to be implemented and G127.5 energized in the ladder.

But G127.5 isn’t in the ladder. Is it so that I have to energize it for it to show? I thought it would show up when not connected also? In the attachment you can see what shows up when I search for G127.5. I also looked through the whole ladder manually without finding anything.

There is a “tapef” setting in the parameter screen but I can’t change it no matter what I do. The pwe can be changed.

The ladder most likely has to be modified to register a G127.5.

I tried looking into editing this but it looks like you need some old Fanuc software running in dos and a special cable. I guess it’s impossible to do DIY? Kinda annoying setback :/ have to consider retrofitting a modern controll system since using memory won’t cover much work..
Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
One option is to either enable more program memory or add a memory card.
Check what parameter 901 is and report back.

That is the lowest memory,
P.M. sent.

Thanks for the PM. If i feed Lucky one day I’ll try it :D
Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
Is the G127.5 part the only thing that can trigger drip feed mode? Like it is now I can send files up to 60kB to the machine through serial and run them but this is very time consuming doing faces. Splitting A 30MB file is going to be mission impossible :D
Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
AFAIK a external switch has to be fitted and the rung for G127.5 has to be enabled.
You could confirm it with Dan Fritz here.

Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
Ok . Is a PMC Edit Cassette A02B-0098-C199 the only way of doing so? They are crazy expensive second hand for such a old unit..
Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
Best to ask Dan if he is around, It is a Very long time since I dealt with a 0M.
There is also a Canadian member here that manuf & sells Fanuc Memory card upgrades.

Hope he sees this thread then :D

Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
You should be able to see the status of the various (boolean) functions in the rung, i.e. high lighted, or not, to see what needs to be turned on.

Re: Help for PMC ladder for Fanuc O-M
I programmed in that line you see there with G127.5 so I know what needs enabling :) If I did it correctly it's basically mode switch to auto and X8.0 input to high to enable DNC. I don't have a EPROM eraser so right now I'm trying to erase it with LED lamps :P It will prolly need many days to clear the chip before I can test my code in the machine (it's not loaded yet). I'll order a eprom eraser for next time so I don't have to wait this long to test.
