There are three types of 6 control.
6 A Master pcb is A16B-0007-0010 (it has many ROM chips in it)
6 B Master pcb is A20B-0008-0410
6 B II It is called "level up" Master pcb is A16B-1000-0030
When you had a double turret machine, the control would be called 6 C .
As for the T and M , like 6MB or 6TB M = Machining center. T = turning .
"I am not 100 percent on this but i believe the Fanuc 6M has set macros in the memory that i may have ereased somehow. I am only able to run the pre-written programs that have no macros in them . they are very long and i don't have a lot of them for our production.
So even with the knowledge of macros , i would still need the correct manual that tells me how to add,edit and control these macros"
The macros in question belong to that machine, not Fanuc. Whether its an Amada thing or one of your predecessors I cant tell you. The Amada book for this machine might help. Amada themselves might know also.
The "macros" are just programs that are being called that no longer exist because you deleted them. Either called with a macro sub-call or with that G75/76 call. The macros will reference "variables" that are still there. .If you were able to erase them ,you can just read them back in. If you have a backup copy of them.
Have you ever backed up the memory contents of this machine? Maybe you have upgraded the Memory to a Tulip board and still have the old bubble?
