    Re: How to use behind the tape reader in fanuc 6M?

    Hello,
    thanks for the prompt reply, Dan.
    As I was so happy you answered, I went right back to the shop and checked.
    I can confirm the cable connection as you described it. The old ribbon cable is disconnected from the mainboard. Instad the rainbow coloured one is connected to the BTR. Then there's a second one that goes via the HONDA plug on the outside and back to the CSQ-connector in side the cabinet.

    The parameters are currenty set like this:
    Parameter 24: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Parameter 25: 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
    Parameter 26: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

    Unfortunately I couldn't download the PC-DNC editor by now.

    I can neither send nor receive anything. Can I check whether the BTR is broken somehow?
    Do you prefer me writing you emails instead, by the way?

    Thank you,
    Alex

    By the way: do I have to change any bit on the setting page to activate this function?

    Do you still sell the btr? It’s cheaper than what I’ve seen anywhere else.
