    Question Secret Fanuc key combos -Help me list and define them

    So Ive had an old swiss machine give me a bunch of trouble lately. As part of trouble shooting and repair Ive come to know about some of the "secret" key combos. Although I rarely need them I'd be interested to know what all of them are and what they do.

    So far I've been shown:
    -Hold right 2 soft keys at power up to see "bios" menu
    -Hold Cancel + P at power up to clear soft over travel alarm
    -Hold Delete + P at power up to delete parameters

    The machine tech said there were a lot, so what else is there?

    Look in the manual there is a key stroke chart in every fanuc manual i ever read.

    And your not saying what control(s) your looking for

    You didn't mention the model? If a 0 to save option 900 par is EOB - OUTPUT.
    To read all parameters is EOB-INPUT, first enter 900 to 919 by hand.

    Most often these are listed under CLEAR operations in the appendix section of the LIST OF OPERATIONS. Some controls use 7+9 for ALL MEMORY CLEAR, -+. for IPL, and more, dependent on control model.
