    Re: Need help with Mori-Seiki programs.

    We have a G-code editor that can do programmable mass edits. Try this:

    A) Download PC-DNC Editor 4.0.5 from our website: https://www.pc-dnc.com/downloads
    B) It will install and run in demo...

    Re: Improper V-Ready Off Alarm???

    Sounds like something is disabling the Y axis servo. I can think of two possible reasons:

    1) The Fanuc 11M has analog (3-phase full wave) servos, and there are 3 fuses on the back of the servo...

    Re: Conecting Fanuc-OM to PC

    The cable looks OK. I'll bet that your Fanuc 0M is either not set to use ISO (ASCII) tape codes, or else it doesn't have the ISO option and only uses the old EIA tape code. First off, use some...
  5. Re: Fanuc 6m-B where is the write parameter or protection key parameter?

    I don't recognize this board, but it's only a partial photo. Look for a board number on the edge somewhere. All Fanuc 6M and 6M-B controls had two toggle switches on two opposite corners of the...
  6. Re: Fanuc 6m-B where is the write parameter or protection key parameter?

    The parameter write/enable toggle switch must be on if you want to load a parameter tape INTO the Fanuc 6. For punching parameters out, you don't need to have the switch turned on because you're not...
  7. Re: Fanuc 6m-B where is the write parameter or protection key parameter?

    The Fanuc 6M-B doesn't have a parameter to protect the parameter input, like the later models. Instead, there's a toggle switch on one corner of the main PCB. It's labeled "PRM", or something like...
  8. Re: How to use behind the tape reader in fanuc 6M?

    You have one of the original Fanuc 6M controls that came without a CRT. This control dates back to 1980 or so, and was the first 6M model that was brought into the USA. General Numeric Corporation...
  9. Re: How to use behind the tape reader in fanuc 6M?

    We sell a kit that has a BTR cable and software to run the Fanuc 6 control in "drip-feed" DNC mode. The BTR cable connects to the "CAT" connector inside the Fanuc control (on the mother board). It...
  10. Re: DNC software for an Pratt Whitney with a Fanuc control

    The 6M-A and B are capable of uploading and downloading to memory with a serial port, and the 5M will only run in TAPE mode with a paper tape. Only a BTR connection will let you "drip-feed" in Tape...

    Re: 11m serial pinout and keep relay questions

    Al_The_Man is right. (Hi Al)

    The 20-pin Honda connectors used on the Fanuc 10/11/12/15 and some later controls all had the same pin assignments.
