Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D
I've read the chapters on program I/O in the user's manual about a dozen times. I'm trying to figure out how to load programs from a memory stick onto the CNC memory. Its a CNC Quaser mill. This is the directions:
___________________________
8.4.3 Inputting/Outputting a File
-A program can be input and output using the memory card screen.
1. Press edit switch or enter state emergency stop
2. Press soft key OPRT
3. Press F INPUT
4. Set the file number that you want to input. Type a file number, and press the soft key F SET
5. Set the program number to be used after the input. Type a program number, and press the soft key O SET
6. Press the soft key EXEC
This starts reading the program, and INPUT blinks in the lower right part of the screen. When the read operation ends, the INPUT indication disappears.
___________________________
So this is what we do. The control is in edit mode, we are already in the memory card screen. We go to operations, we press F INPUT.
In this screen, the programs loaded on the card are listed sequentially by their file number. There are only 5 programs on the card. So we enter the file number of the program we want (in this case, 0005). We press F SET. We enter the program number and press O SET.
Then we press execute. Instead of "INPUT" blinking, we get a message "Program has been verified" and nothing happens. The program has not been loaded into the control, and it has not been selected as the active program. Its just been "verified" not inputted. I can't even find anywhere in the manual that explains what this means.
Anybody who can help us from here would be great, we are trying to load programs onto this machine for our school so that students can test out their CNC programs.
Re: Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
Is the program O0005 the 5th file on the list? The FSET is for which number the file is on the card.
Re: Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
ill try to clarify.
F NO | FILE NAME
0001 | O0111.TXT
0002 | O0222.TXT
0003 | O0333.TXT
0004 | O0444.TXT
0005 | O0138.TXT <-- this is the program I'm trying to load. It is in a text file named "O0138" and the program number in the code is also 0138
I put in 0005 and press F SET, just entering 5 also "works"
Then I put in 0138 and press O SET
Re: Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
If you are viewing the files while trying to input, then it will just verify. You must be looking at the memory you intend the program to go to.
Re: Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
If the Edit lock switch is OFF, you can load a program. If it's ON and the same number program already exists in memory, it will verify it.

Make sure the I/O in SETTING is 17

Thank you for your responses, i will try again today and come back with the results.
Re: Fanuc Series oi-MODEL D, Input a program from memory card
If the selected program number already exists in the memory, it may or may not be overwritten depending on a parameter.

Thanks these did it. We were looking at the card memory screen instead and we thought the edit key had to be on to load a program. Ill be back if there are any more issues

The way that you're doing this is wrhong, the F SET is to set the position that the program is in your card, and the OSET is to set the position in which the progam will adopt in the memory of the machine, so let supose that you also have an program in position 0001 in the machine memory, an you want to copy the psition 0005 from your card to the machine, you will set the FSET to 0005 an the OSET to 0002 because the position 0001 is already in use.

go in the cnc mem directory and type :O0111 and hit"READ" ,will read the program from memory card and copy to cnc mem space.
