    Fanuc 16i 160i RS-232 Setup and missing parameters

    I have an Amada Laser with a Fanuc 160i controller that I am attempting to connect with FabriTalk to. However going through the parameter setup I do not see the parameters for setting up IO CHANNLE 0 or 1 0101, 0102, 0103 when in PWE mode. Am I missing something, They were visible several days ago. The only parameter change has been setting from Tape type 3 to RS-232 Type 4.

    An help or thoughts is much appreciated. Jeff

    parameters for setting up IO CHANNEL 0 is normally on the Handy page, hit the offset key multiple times.

    Is this a different screen that shows paramtet 0000 through 0100. It then jumps from 0100 to 0300.

    I have a couple 160i controllers on Milling machines, maybe lasers are set up different. Can you post a picture?

    I use 9pin - 25pin Null Modem cable with a basic communication software. We sell a basic software if you cant find a free download.

    Why use a serial connection on an i-control? You can use the pc-card (next to the monitor) instead.
