I'm restoring the memory on a Powermate -F that uses a DPL/MDI unit to input the data. No display on the CNC. I have the parameters loaded from a paper backup. The backup I have shows the settings...

Sorry, I gave you some bad information regarding the M-code. Subroutine P5 (M-Codes) is called on Network 81 and jumps down to Network 1366 to turn on M183M. The scan returns to where it left off...

That's odd. I'm afraid that my time is limited for the next few weeks. Parameter 3030 sets the allowable digits for an M-code on the i-series.

Try moving the network. M183 will likely hang on a FIN if it's not in the ladder.

You can also look at the settings in Data addresses D4000-4018. These are comparing the M-code called by F10...

I was able to open the ladder. Try moving the rung containing the R1740.1 output past the P5 sub-routine. This must be past network 1383.

Network 1366 reads the M-code and turns on R42.7...

You are correct. It sounds like a corrupted memory area. As you mentioned earlier, the information should be stored in the first one or two files. You can try downloading a blank file from Memex...

There may be a difference in the memory size. Take a look at the memory size in the program directory and compare the machines.

Can you post a picture of the decode function? I'm assuming that this a SUB25. Do any of the M-Codes associated with this function statement work? Are there any JMP or COM functions used before it?

What is the serial number of your machine?

No luck in finding a conversion. I backed up the machine as it sits now and loaded the old backup. Working now.

It could be some of the other settings. Take a look at the attachment from Memex. Pages 7 & 8 go over the parameter configurations.
This is a link to a video I made on RS232. It may help.

I have a backup for a 15-MA control. The parameters, offsets and programs are in a normal format that I can read. The ladder backup (PMC-NA) is in a hex format as I expected. The backup of the PMC...

Resolution - Replacing the PMC module in the control solved the problem. Part # A20B-2901-0960
This was a new one for me.

It's a very simple ladder.

I'm jumping on a motorcycle and taking a ride for the next two weeks. I'll let you know what I find when I get back.
Let me know if you see anything that I missed!

Here is a procedure to test the motor and cable. You should always run this test before installing a servo or spindle drive.

The CNC Guide software requires a key. You can get this from Fanuc. They also sell a desktop simulator that works very well.

I added a rung in the ladder that used a push button to turn on coil K17.1. The trace showed the keep relay turning on, but it turned back off on the next scan. If I kept the button pushed in, the...

This is a strange problem. The machine woke up one morning with all of the keep relays turned off. When I try to set them, they turn themselves off after one scan of the ladder. I can put the...

Skip or High Speed Skip would be the simplest way to do it. Take a look at the Connection Manual (Function), B-61393 for a description. The machine will likely use X8.7 for the input. It may...

It has been a long time since I used the 10 and 11 ladders. I believe that this will find an alarm message in the ladder.

Oetkbyentc is correct. Things haven't changed much regarding timers and counters. This is a video that shows how they work on new style machines. I should be close enough to give you a better...

1.Description says its ADDRESS in NC memory. See the video link for a description of addresses.


2. From what I gathered those are numbers I can search by, to find later in the ladder, where...

From a quick look at the video, it does not look like your parameters are missing. The first image you sent shows the servo settings missing. This is strange. I would recommend following the...

I sent the procedure. Your paper copy has both the CNC and PMC settings. Be sure to enter the 900 parameters first. Cycle power and enter the remaining parameters. Cycle power again and enter the...

Nothing received as of yet

I would need to see the complete file. The CNC and PMC settings will be in two different files. It's possible that the paperwork you have will include both.

You tell the Japanese that they're wrong. Good luck with that!
Thanks for the reply.

You will likely need two or three files. There will be one for the CNC parameters and another for the PMC settings. There may be others, such as programs, macro, etc.
The O controls only used...

I sent you a list of service providers in TX. I don't do service calls anymore. Getting to old to bounce around the country. TIE has hired me to provide tech support, build test stations and...

You can open the files and post the first 10 or so lines of each one. We should be able to tell what they are from that. If you haven't backed up or restored the files in a machine before, I would...
