    Question Fanuc Compact flash pc editing tool for large programs

    Hello,

    I am able to create large files and save them to a compact flash card using the PC editing tool from Fanuc which saves programs to a bin. file on the card.
    Operation is identical to machine memory when running at the control other than all of the probing macros etc. being in the machine memory side so you have to switch back and forth to probe. (I wonder if you could copy the machine 900 programs to the bin file to workaround this?)

    But my problem is I can not view these programs inside the bin file back at my PC. The PC editing tool that puts the programs onto the flash card is a one way ticket, I can go to the machine no problem, but if I make edits to the program on the control I can't get back to my PC to continue working with the program.

    This bin file needs some sort of read software that can open the individual files on the compact flash card so I can add to the program/alter without having to start back at the original file that was drug onto the card.

    HELP ME PLEASE!

    Id agree with Disarray you're making it far to complicated
    If its its already in cnc memory output it as a text then you can open and edit it in any package

    Compact flash memory is only stored on the card, it's fanucs way of working around having no memory. You cant output files from flash card memory.

    Hi Machinistsss,

    Upload your FANUCPRG.BIN file then I will try to "unlock" it for you or send me your e-mail by private message.

    Thank you for the offer, but I can't send all my programs to a stranger. I know the card is formatted correctly and it runs fine on the machine. Any idea why it won't let me drag back to the desktop?

    Hi Machinistsss,

    It works, did you open your own file with the Program Tool ??

    Look at the attachment.

    Maybe my PC editing CD is messed up, I can't get it to drag to desktop. I was 99.9% sure I was doing everything right. I guess I'm going to have to wait for fanuc to reply with a fix. Fingers crossed.

    Hi,

    Program is not stored in memory but only on PCMCIA-card, on my 0i-MF it doesn't work from USB.
    When you make changes on the machine you can read the BIN-file back on PC.
    Open the FANUCPRG.BIN on your PC from card, then you can see the programs in the BIN-file.

    Drag and drop them on your desktopscreen or in a folder and you can open them.

    Heavy_Metal.

    Hi Machinistsss,

    Do you start/run the Fanuc Program Tool from CD or from PC ???
    The CD contains only 3 files:

    2 pdf manuals (400kb), English and I think Chinese
    1 EXE.file, FANUCPRG.exe (600kb)

    Check your private message !

    Regards,
    Heavy_Metal.

    Re: Fanuc Compact flash pc editing tool for large programs

    Hey cnczone77,

    You need at least a Fanuc 0i-D series or a Fanuc 30i-32i series to run these BIN-files which are created by the program.
    Check the FANUC forum for more info: https://www.cnczone.com/forums/fanuc/412886-cnc.html

    When you have a 0i-D Series you need the A02B-0319-R642 ( 0i-TD - Lathe ) or A02B-0320-R642 ( 0i-MD - Mill ) to run these BIN-files.
    Activation of that R642 option is around €700,- / $850,- (USD) but you always can try a BIN-file before you want to buy the program.

    Program costs only €20,- in Europe, that's $24,- (USD), exclusive shipping, so pretty cheap

    Hi guys, Heavy_Metal solved this issue for me a while back. Turns out my CD copy of the pc editing tool was bugged. I can now drag files back off of the card and onto wherever I choose.
    Thanks again

    It works with only CF cards?
    You tried it on 0MD or 0MC ?

    Hi,

    Yep, it works only on CF-Card (PCMCIA-slot).
    We have a FANUC 0i-MF but it works also on the 0i-MD, maybe also on the 0i-MC, not the 0-Model C or 0-Model D.
    What control do you have.

    Regards,
    Heavy_Metal.

    Thank you !
    What is the maximum size of the program can be used?
    I have this program, but there is no manual how to use it.
