is there a way to upload all programs from machine to memory card it has 18 It controls

If it has a PCMCIA slot next to the LCD, you should be able to set the I/O Device to 4 to input/output to the card. You'll need a PCMCIA-CF adapter and a CF card. I've had the best luck with old-style SanDisk cards, i.e.:

PCMCIA Laptop Compact Flash Adapter -
SanDisk 256MB Compact Flash CF Memory Card -

The procedure is in the Fanuc manal. If you can't find it, yell.

i should have been a little more clear with the question. i have about 90 programs in the machine and i would like to dump them all at the same time onto a card. if i have to do them one at a time it will take to long

[dcoupar]

I believe you can specify a range of programs to output, such as "O0001, O2001" will output all the programs from O0001 to O2001 inclusive, or -9999 will output all programs into one large file on the card. You can then manually separate this file into single programs in a text editor.
