I have gone through every message on this forum with no solution, although have learned some insight to my issue.
problem is drip feeding
Machine is Excel 510 Fanuc OM (not sure if A or B)
It does have the Tape option (on the mode select dial anyway),
I cannot change the G127.5 to a 1, with the dial or through MDI
I know the tape selector is wired, because the diag shows that tape mode is selected (forget off hand which diag # changed when I select Tape)
I can send and receive programs through my computer, so it seems the communication is setup ok. (unless I am missing something that allows regular communication but not drip feeding.)
Everything I gather indicates it should be able to read from Tape but that darn G 127.5 just won't turn on.
I cannot see the ladder.
Is it possible I have an OMA (from which I gather would not be able to drip feed?)
Any input/checklist or advise or referral would be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
