    Post FANUC Series 18i-MB CF Card Problem

    Hello, I have a HWACHEON SIRIUS-UL machining center with the FANUC controller Series 18i-MB. I tried to insert a CF card to backup the memory, however, the machine did not respond. The message shown is along the line of the machine cannot find a cf card. "MEMORY CARD MOUNT ERRROR.HIT SELECT KEY" Could you advise me on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    I had to partition my card to 256 MB and set as the active partition before I was able to use it on the IPL screen.

    You may also need to name the volume 'FANUC LTD' as you format it as FAT 16.

    Size isn't the only limitation on the Fanuc also the type. I have good luck with Compact flash card 256MB (K8034)
