Need to unlock 9000 series programs for outputting to pc for backup purpose from fanuc oi control. Was able to output all other programs and parameters without any issues.

[glovebox20]

On the Fanuc OM series control, You need parameter #0010 bit #4 to be a 0 to edit 9000's programs and 1 to protect the programs.

ex.
0010= 10010001 9000 Protect on
0010= 10000001 9000 Protect off.

If you have a parameter manual for the Oi control, look under the Marco programing section, it should e listed there.

If you can not edit the 9000's programs, it will not punch out the 9000's programs.

good luck

For the 0-i, set parameter 3202 bit 4 = 0. Be aware that while this parameter is 0, you can delete the 9000 programs, too.

Thanks for the help. 3202 was the # bit#4 to 0 enable the 9000s to be output for backup. Changed back to 1 as soon as completed. Is it necessary to backup the PMC parameters also?

[dcoupar]

3202.4 is only for 9000 series. PMC parameters should back up fine regardless of 3202.

Understood. I just wasn't sure if the PMC parameters is something I should backup or in case of a catastrophic failure, if the machine tool builder would have a copy for restoration.

[dcoupar]

I would back up all the parameters.
