    PMC backup of FANUC 15MB

    I can do the cnc parameters backup of FANUC 15MB system with DNC software. but i can't punch the PMC data with DNC software.i wondered is it possible to punch the PMC data with DNC software.if so,which parameters should be set and how to set?

    any one any ideas will be great appreciated.

    You have to set parameter 8000 bit 0(PWE) to 1.
    Then go to the PMC/CNC and set your K17 keep relay bit 1 to 1. Now you are ready to output PMC data.

    Press softkeys: I/O and select the FDCAS as the I/O device.
    Press the PCPRM softkey to select the PMC data as the type
    Press the WRITE softkey to select the data output.
    I don’t remember if you can type a file name before pressing the EXEC key. If so type the file name you want it to be then press teh EXEC key.

    Channel numbers 1=JD5A, Channel 2=JD5B. If you want to change the baudrate you have to select the SPEED on the I/O screen.

    Good luck,
    Stevo

    Your welcome for the help.

    How did the data come out? Did it come out in S-form or CNC-form? The DNC software should not care how the data is open or saved. You should have no problems sending it back to the machine if you need to. Just as long as it is not garbled (distorted).

    The S-form should look something like this starting with a S at the beginning of each line.
    S22420000000020000000000005AA
    S22420002000060000FF230000DAE

    The CNC-form like this.
    N60000 P0
    N60002 P0
    N60004 P0

    jeff.liu,
    your setting is incorrect - parity or stop bits are set wrong. As you can see some right characters, I think the baud rate is OK, but the rest...

    PMC data has to entered manually on FS10,11,12. Not on FS15a or newer.
