    Fanuc 0M number and dripfeed?

    I don´t know which number my fanuc has a,b,c or....?
    OMM: 0A66-19
    PMC: 0F-K
    Which one shows what it is?
    I'm trying to get it to dripfeed, is that possible, and how?
    I've tried to change parameter G127 without any luck. Is it because its not possible to change?
    Is there anyone who can explain this to me in a simple way?

    Thank you
    -Jeppe, Denmark

    The G127.5 is not a parameter per se but a internal register that is used to pass information from PLC-> CNC.
    This is set by a switch installed by the MTB or OEM as an option.
    When the switch is set the DNCI bit (G127.5) changes from 0 to 1.
    See attached PDF.

    Jeppe:

    To work in DNC mode depends on your machine, if you are able to see the ladder (usually possible in B,C and D models) you can search for 127.5 coil; if it is there then the DNC mode is installed, just see what is in the line to activate 127.5. If not, then you'll have to install it by adding a line in the ladder, we have a ladder editor for 0A(some versions), B, C and D; if it is required.

    If you can't see the ladder and you do not have the tape mode I will suggest that you go to auto mode and press every button in the operators pannel to see if the signal 127.5 turns on.

    Please let me know what happens to see if I can be helpfull.

    Samu:

    Well, press key "PRM/DGNS" several times, the first time it'll take you from parameters to diagnostics, the second time from diagnostics to ladder. Sometimes it is not possible to see the ladder on 0B controls due to a control condition, let's say 50/50 of the times. If you can not open the ladder in the machine then you'll have to use a Fanuc Ladder console to do that, we have one; if you need it please let me know.

    Jeppes:

    D480.2 refers to diagnostic 480 bit 2, change it to 1, check the ladder after that, signal 127.5 must be on, with that you'll have the DNC option active.

    Thank you Greg, you're my man...
    I made my first feed dripping yesterday. Do you now if´its possible to make a manual switch instead of changing the parameter?
    I'll buy you a beer if you ever come to Denmark...

    Jeppes:

    That beer sounds good, Denmark is a little bit far from Mexico, so, maybe it will have to wait, thank you for that invitation. About your question:

    It is possible to enable the DNC mode with a button on the operators pannel of your machine, unfortunatelly to do that you'll have to install and wire the button (easy thing) and edit the ladder to change the line with a fanuc console and that will cost about $1,200.00 us. If you want to do it let me know, maybe we can help you, otherwise you'll have to change the diagnostic every time.

    I am glad I was able to help you.

    Fanuc 0M ladder/dripfeed

    TAKANG VMC – Fanuc 0M model C 1992. This is what it says in the papers. BUT at startup it says PMC: 0001-A2. So if it really is a C-model? Would like to dripfeed. I have changed diagnostic 480 bit 2 to (1) in order to activate DNC, nothing happens. Then I would check the ladder to see if I can find signal 127.5. If I press SRCH in the ladder program, I get “ILLEGAL OPERATION” and can’t then make a search. Can anyone tell me how to check the ladder or another way to check if the machine is able to dripfeed?

    Best regards

    Did you input G127.5 and then SEARCH?

    I don't know any other way, I'm very new to dripfeed, just managed it few days ago, also with D480.2.

    I searched for G127.5 in a ladder, and in the same line I found 480.2, changed it to 1 and voila, I DRIPFED seconds later:-)

    I tried a little program like this:
    ...
    G1X0.01F500
    G1X0.01
    G1X0.01
    G1X0.01
    ...
    but feddrate was only around 20mm/min.
    Is it baudrate, buffer or something else related?

    p.s. I just found this, I'll check it tomorrow:
    "The DC3 code is output and reading is stopped at the end of each block
    (each time the EOB is read). To enable continuous reading of the
    blocks, specify bit 7 of parameter 0390 accordingly"

    OM Dripfeed

    Hey Zdravko

    Thanks – No I did press SEARCH first ;-), so now I found G127.5 in the ladder (see pdf with picture from CRT screen – top line) It says F171.7 - Do you think, I should try to change diagnostic parameter 171.7 ?

    Best regards

    I'm glad to help, but I'm not sure about F171.7.
    I don't know what all those letters in ladder mean, you have F R X Y D G... I hope someone will chime in.

    Google found this page:
    http://www.chau-tong.com.tw/serv01.htm
    that I don't understand , but it mentioned 171.7 (use search on page).

    Here is Fanuc 0 handbook, also mentiones 171.7:
    http://www.sweprata.com.br/content/d...lso_SerieI.pdf

    You know that parameters are read from right to left, starting with 0?
    76543210

    How come you're at the machine this late?
    Good luck

    To search for that adress in the ladder you have to type D127.5 and SRCH, if it finds it then you have the DNC and you have to see how it is activated.

    Good luck.

    Did you find the G127.5 signal in the ladder ???? If you did then the DNC option is active...If not, then you have to edit the ladder to active that option.

    Hey Gpena
    Thanks

    Yes I found G127.5 in ladder (see attached pdf.). But to activate it, it has to be through F171.7 as I understand.
    What is F171.7 and how to activate??


    This is from a 0M Handbook:
    OUT0 to OUT7
    Software operator’s
    panel general–purpose
    switch signal
      F171.0 to F171.7

    Try to change diagnostic parameter 171.7.
    Press PARAM/DIAG button until you get to diagnostic screen and scroll down to parameter number 171.

    Parameters are read from right to left, starting with 0:
    76543210
    so you have to change ONLY FIRST number from 0 to 1 and leave others the way they are.

    Change 0xxxxxxx to 1xxxxxxx and leave "x" the same.

    Do a complete backup of all parameters, programs and macros before you start changing parameters!!

    That is not a parameter, this is a software switch from the software operartor pannel, press the OPR/ALARM one time and you'll see the software operator pannel, there are several swithches and maybe one that reads DNC (or something related) turn this on and then check DIAGNOSTIC G127.5, it mus be 1, and your DNC is active then.
