Hi Folks
I'm trying to introduce myself to cadcam systems and the large G code programs that can be generated. So I presume I need to know more about DNC drip feeding and/or memory expansion via PCMCIA/Flash card for a Fanuc 21i-MA.
I think I have Program Memory B A02B-0247-H052 (SRAM B 512 kB) and I'm getting really confused with all these A and B suffixes!
Regarding DNC: the manual talks of a 'Remote' switch on the operator panel. Can't find it (Machine is Chiron FZ08W). Can a parameter be changed instead?
I'm also really confused with this M198 command: manual says "With a memory card RMT mode operation and the subprogram call function (based on the M198 command) cannot be used" I've also read somewhere of the programs from the card being loaded into cnc memory with M198P**** ..... so could anyone enlighten me here?
I don't know if/how any of this is possible for this controller (or for a 21-MB or 0MD) but if yourselves could give a bit of a primer on the above it would be much appreciated.
Regards
Rob
