Hi Fanuc-users,

maybe one of you is able to give me an advice concerning a Fanuc 180i-MB I found for cheap and try to get it running.

I managed to get the CNC working in conjunction with a Panel-i intelligent Terminal. So I am able to connect to the CNC by Screen-Display-Function through HSSB.
At the moment I do not have any amps installed, so I get quite a few alarms.
But it seems to run and a rough ladder adresses the panel which I can see through Ladder III/ethernet.

But I have no success loading a part program. I can see the directory but no part is loadead. I could imagine some possible reasons which maybe could be commented by someone who is faminiar with these controls:
- As long as there are no amplifiers installed, loading of part programs is inhibited
- My G-code lacks something I am not aware of. (Someone with a working sample file here...?)
- Deflecting storage from memory-card to PC-drive is not enough, there has do be done something else in addition.

or.....???

And, as I already stole your time, another question:
Is there anything in the Basic-Operation-Package that I do not have included in ma Screen-Display-Function ?

Thanks and best regards
Uli
