fanuc 6m locked parameters
Hello,
I have fanuc tape center model d with fanuc 6m control.
the bubble memory has crashed and I replaced it with a new one.
and I have put in all the parameters bud I can't change parameter 120 and 122, I need them for the tool change.
I think that the are locked and the can only be changed by setting another parameter,
does anybody has an idee?
Greetings albert
machine data:
Fanuc tape center model d
6m
Series m63
Typ A04B 0034 A003
Ser 530432
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
I'm assuming your manually entering them. Sometimes the order parameters are entered matter.
Try loading the correct full parameters from a backup via rs232 or a memory card.
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
hello dpuch,
yes I did it manualy.
I don,t have a backup on the pc. I have tried to change by pcload, the communication works, I can change everything while adjusting parameter on pc and send them by rs232, but I can't change 120/122/123 it remains 0.
I think another parameter must be set. bud I don't know wich.
do you have another idea?
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
You may try clearing the memory again (remove the module) and starting fresh. Manually enter just the rs232 settings, then upload the complete parameters.
If it requires a setting to be something besides 0 before it is uploaded then I do not know either.
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
he mentions he doesn't have a backup on PC.
I agree uploading the parameter file is a possible solution.
it could be as simple as punching out the parameters, edit and upload.
to do that, go to EDIT mode, press PARAM, type P-9999 then PUNCH.
then edit the file, save then read it back into the machine by going to
EDIT mode, press PARAM, type P-9999 then READ
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
hello fordav and dpuch,
i have erased the memory, so all the parameters are zero. and i have set only the rs232 settings in de parameters, and then i have upload the parameters by pc.
everthing is written bud the parameters 120/122 not, the can,t be changed.:mad:
the error is : 451 t servo
what i could find out that its for toolchange, and it needs parameters for that.
any idees?
greetings albert

this is what i found in the manual. alarm 451 t servoAttachment 283708Attachment 283710
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
the manual says, check parameter and increase the value .
which parameter is it?

see the attachment for parameter list
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
You problem probably is not with the loading procedure, but you might review www.tulipmemory.com M100700D - TULIP for Fanuc 6, 11, 12 Manual.pdf where it talks about manually loading the control to make sure.
Other than that I guess reading thru the 6m paramters manual and reviewing the entries are correct.
Sorry I can't be of more help with this one.
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
hello dpuch, i have the manual and also read it. the problem remains, still need to change the parameters.
i already opend a new post/tread, if somebody has the same machine, so i can view the parameters.
thanks for the help.
greetings albert
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
are you sure you did the correct procedure to manually change parameters?
the procedure is....
Put Parameter Enable Switch ON
Put Mode Switch to MDI
Press Function key PARAM
Type N then parameter number then press INPUT (in this case parameter number typed is 0120)
Type P then numerical data then press INPUT (type the value you want to put in parameter 0120)
Put Parameter Enable Switch OFF
Press Reset.
does this work on your machine for parameter 0120/0122?
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
yes, that is way to do it,
it works for every paramter but not for 0120 and 0122 :mad:
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
fordav, these parameters are not listed in the 6m manual, but are for the 6t-a as max. spindle speed for gear changes.
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
yeah I see they are unlisted. he wants 0120 and 0122. no idea why ;-)
either way the procedure above should work, regardless of the parameter number.
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
para 120 and 122 are used for tool change i found out, but i could be wrong.
can somebody help me with solving the problem for this error, and wich parameters are used for this?
the error is : 451 t servo
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
its an old and uncommon machine and I think you are out of luck. your only choice now would be try to contact other owners of the same machine and get a parameter backup.
try searching for "Fanuc Tape Center Model D" and PM the person who posted. or look wider on the net for other owners of that machine.

Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
i have found somebody with the same machine,
where can we find the macro for tool change?
Re: fanuc 6m locked parameters
if there is a tool change macro it will probably be numbered 9000 or higher.
you need to unlock the 8000 range and/or 9000 range programs by setting parameter 318.7 or 319.7 to 0 then power off/on and you will be able to see all the programs in memory. then just punch out the program you need.
