The 21i is able to read and write to the 2GB which I was surprised by.

And you are correct, there is nothing out there that explains the special m code functions for the drill bank in any Fanuc...

Well I found the pcmcia issue. One of the pins or the cable must be loose. If I really put some pressure on the pcmcia card, the machine can read it. I'm replacing the pcmcia slot. I'm not sure if it...

So issue was not the plc module so on to the ladder logic

Nope I don't have any wiring prints to find the Y addresses. I've got a buddy that is a tech for Northwood and he is going to ask the...

Thank you. I'll give that pcmcia card a shot and see what happens.


As to the multi-drill. I spent this evening troubleshooting it.

ooh im digging that new david interface.

The machine is a 1991 Hitachi 345Q 5 axis wire edm. The controller is an H-MARK-100 using MARK100 V 2.43 software. The machine has two pulse counter circuit boards. The reason for this is because...

I have a 4 axis machine (dual cutting heads) and I'm trying to figure out how to mirror gcode from the Z axis to also be used by the W axis in the same cnc file. Any tools/utilities out there that...
