The MACRO Compiler/Executor function stores programs created using

custom macros (macro programs) in ROM so that machine tool builders
can implement their own conversational screens.
The FANUC MACRO Compiler is a macro compiler utility to implement
the MACRO Compiler/Executor function on personal computers
available on the market.
The FANUC MACRO Compiler is applicable to the following CNC
systems:
1) Series 0
2) Series 15
3) Series 16
4) Series 18
5) Series 20
6) Series 21
This manual describes the procedure to store macro programs in ROM by
using the macro compiler utility. For the syntax rule for creating macro
programs, refer to the manuals listed below.
1) FANUC Series 0/0-Mate Programming Manual (Macro
compiler/Macro executor) (B-61393E-1)
2) FANUC Series 15 Programming Manual (Macro compiler/Macro

1.1
FEATURES (1) Macro programs can be edited using a commercially available screen
editor that operates under the MS-DOS environment.
(2) The symbolic macro compiler function allows macro programs to be
coded in symbolic format, and also allows comments to be coded.
(3) A program that references macro variables in array format can be
created.
(4) Compile list output makes macro program development, debugging,
and maintenance much easier.
(5) A linker (linkage editing) function is employed which allows partial
compilation and also facilitates the development and maintenance of
macro programs common to several models.
(6) The macro compiler utility, used with the CNC executor RAM
operation function, can transfer a ROM-format file to the CNC
system. This capability allows macro programs to be developed and
debugged without writing ROM.
(7) Linker output (ROM-format file) operation is separated from writing
to a macro ROM by the ROM file transmitter with the FANUC
PMC-Writer/FA-Writer. With this feature, the same macro ROM can
be created at any time by preserving ROM-format files.
(8) A ROM file transmitter function based on the GP-IB interface allows
connection to the FANUC FA Writer for high-speed writing to a
macro ROM verification.
B–66102E/10 1. GENERAL
1.2
OVERVIEW The FANUC MACRO Compiler/Executor function enables the FANUC
CNC users to develop their own macro programs in a macro language,
store the macro programs in ROM as a macro ROM by using the macro
compiler, and execute the macro programs with the macro executor
function of the FANUC CNC systems. (See the conceptual diagram on
the next page.)

The macro compiler utility is distributed with a 5-inch (2HD) floppy disk
as an MS-DOS/PC-DOS package utility.
The utility does not provide functions such as those for editing macro
programs, and saving and restoring programs to and from floppy disks.
For these functions, use MS-DOS/PC-DOS commands and editors
available on the market.

CAUTION
1 The macro compiler utility software is installed on hard disk.
This software occupies a hard disk space of about 1M bytes.
In addition, developed macro programs and list files/object
files generated at compile time are output as files on hard
disk. So the size of hard disk depends on the macro
programs developed.
2 The macro compiler utility software is distributed with a
5-inch (2HD) or 3.5-inch (2HD) floppy disk for series
15i/16i/18i/21i floppy disk. The macro executor is also
distributed with a 5-inch (2HD) or 3.5-inch (2HD) floppy disk
for series 15i/16i/18i/21i floppy disk. A 5-inch or 3.5-inch
floppy disk drive is needed to install the system and
executor files.
NOTE
1 The macro compiler and macro linker output a reference list,
compile list, and link list as MS-DOS text files to hard disk.
For output to the printer, use an MS-DOS/PC-DOS
command.
Text files are output in a format assuming an 80-character,
60-line printer.
2 The FANUC FA-Writer allows high-speed writing to
ROM/verification based on the GP-IB interface. (Note that
only NEC PC98 Series and IBM PC-AT Sereis currently
supports this function.)

So specify this directory by path setting with AUTOEXEC.BAT.
PATH SETTING
3.4 To match the CNC series, there are three types of the FANUC MACRO
Compiler system:
COMPILER SERIES
a) For Series 0/Series 16/Series 18/Series 20/Series 21
b) For Series 15–A/15–B
c) For Series 15i–A
These Compiler systems are for the respective series only. Compiling the
same macro program using these compiler systems generates different
object codes. For this reason, be sure to use the execution files (macro
compiler/linker/memory card converter) and library files suitable to the
development model. (The library file names are given in Appendix L.)
If multiple systems are to be installed on the same personal computer, it
is recommended that a separate directory be used for each CNC series.

3.5.1 A macro program or a ROM-format file is transferred via the

Selecting a RS-232-C/GPIB interface. The interface control systems vary between
personal computer manufacturers. Control software including MPOUT,
RS–232–C/GPIB MROMWT, and MROMWTG is therefore designed to determine the
Interface Control control system according to the setting of the MDEV environment
System (MDEV) variable.
Specify the MDEV environment variable as follows in
AUTOEXEC.BAT before using control software.
Setting of the MDEV environment variable
set MDEV=PC98 : For the NEC PC98 Series
set MDEV=FMR : For the Fujitsu FMR Series
set MDEV=IBM : For the IBM PC Series
When no MDEV environment variable is specified, control software runs
in the control system for the NEC PC98 Series.
3.5.2 The macro compiler or macro linker generates or deletes some temporary
Specifying a files (work files) for compiling or linking. The destination to which the
temporary files are output can be specified with the MTMP environment
Temporary File Output variable.
Destination (MTMP)
Setting of the MTMP environment variable
set MTMP=B:\TEMP
If the temporary file output destination is specified as a RAM disk,
compiling or linking time can be reduced.
When no MTMP environment variable is specified, temporary files are
generated in the current directory for compiling or linking and deleted
after compiling or linking

*1 file-spec
This specifies a macro program source file. The extension of a
source file name must be .SRC. Source files to be compiled can
be specified in three ways:
(1) Compilation of a single file
A:\> MCOMP0 ABC=> Compiles ABC.SRC.
(2) Compilation of multiple cards by using a wild card
A:\> MCOMP0 ABC*=>
Compiles all files whose names start with ABC and have the
extension .SRC,
(3) Selective compilation according to link control file
specification
A:\> MCOMP0 @ABC=>
Compiles all files specified in the link control file (file name:
ABC.LNK).
CAUTION
As described in Section 3.4, even if the same macro
program is compiled, the macro compiler for Series
0/16/18/20/21 creates an object file different from an object
file created by the macro compiler for Series 15 and Series
15i. Select the compiler that matches a development
model.
*2 [parameters]
This specifies compile conditions.
–NR : Outputs no object file. If this parameter is omitted, an
object file with the extension .REL is output.
–L1 : Outputs no compile list file. If this parameter is omitted,
a compile list file with the extension .LST is output.
–L2 : Outputs no reference list file. If this parameter is omitted,
a reference list file with the extension .REF is output.
–L3 : Outputs a macro program file. If this parameter is
omitted, no macro program file is output. A macro
program file is output with the extension .PRG.
–PR : Makes no symbolic macro program analysis. Specify this
parameter when a program coded in standard macro
program format is to be compiled. No reference list file
is output. Even if this parameter is not specified, a macro
program can be compiled without trouble. However, this
parameter can save time required to make a symbolic
macro program analysis and can also save space for
reference list file output.
–Fo : Specifies a destination to which an object file is output.
See item (7).
–Fr : Specifies a destination to which a reference list file is
output.
–Fl : Specifies a destination to which a compile list file is
output.
–Fp : Specifies a destination to which a macro program file is
output.
(2) Macro program source file
A macro program source file must be created in MS-DOS text file
format. At this time, be sure to assign the file name extension .SRC.
The macro compiler can compile a macro program coded in symbolic
format.
For detailed information, see Chapter 5.
The macro compiler can also compile a program coded in standard
macro program format. In this case, specify the command parameter
-PR. This parameter can save time required to make a symbolic
macro program analysis and can also save space for reference list file
output.
(3) Object file
An object file output by the compiler is subject to processing by the
macro linker. The name of an object file is the same as the source file
name, except that the extension .REL is assigned to the object file.
(4) Reference list file
The reference list file is a list file output from macro program analysis
processing. A source program, errors, error codes, symbol name
cross reference information are listed. The name of a reference list
file is the same as the source file name, except that the extension .REF
is assigned to the reference list file. For output to a printer, for
example, use a standard MS-DOS command.
(5) Compile list file

A compile list file is output as a result of macro program compilation
after symbolic macro program analysis. A source program, errors,
error codes, variable cross reference information, object file size
information, and so forth are listed. The name of a compile list file
is the same as the source file name, except that the extension .LST is
assigned to the compile list file. For output to a printer, for example,
use a standard MS-DOS command.
(6) Macro program file
By specifying the command parameter -L3, a macro program after
macro program analysis processing can be preserved as a file. The
name of a macro program file is the same as the source file name,
except that the extension .PRG is assigned to the macro program file.
By using the serial interface utility described in Section 4.5, this file
can be output to the CNC/FANUC SYSTEM P via a RS-232-C line.
(7) Specifying the destinations to which the compiler outputs files
The directory of the destinations to which the compiler outputs files
can be specified as desired according to compiling conditions.
However, this function is only effective for FANUC MACRO
Compiler Version 02.1 and later versions.
–Fo : Specifies a destination to which an object file is output.

–Fr : Specifies a destination to which a reference list file is
output.
–Fl : Specifies a destination to which a compile list file is output.
–Fp : Specifies a destination to which a macro program file is
output.

–NR : Outputs no ROM-format file. If this parameter is
omitted, a ROM-format file with the extension .ROM is
output.
–NL : Outputs no link list file. If this parameter is omitted, a
link list file with the extension .MAP is output.
–Fm : Specifies the destination to which a link list file is output.
See item (4).
–Fr : Specifies the destination to which a ROM-format file is
output
(2) Link control file

The link control file specifies a library file name, compile
parameters, and object file names subject to linkage. As with a source
file, a link control file must be created in MS-DOS text file format.
At this time, be sure to assign the file name extension .LNK.
In a link control file, a library file name, compile parameters, and
object file names subject to linkage are defined using keywords. A
comment line can be provided by using /:.

The example above is for Series 16–MB. The compile parameters (Nos. 9000.
9010, 9037, and 9038) are set, and the object files (ABC.REF. DEF.REL,
XYZ.REL, UVW.REL, and SSS.REL) are linked.
The specification of (=0) is assumed for those compile parameters that are
not specified in the link control file.
A link control file is used also as a selective compile control file by the
macro compiler, as described in item (1) in Section 4.1. This function is
useful in compiling all programs to be linked.
A:\> MCOMP0 @ABS ⇒ compiles all files specified in the link
control file (file name: ABC.LNK).
(3) Link list file

The link list file is output by the linker, and a library name, compile
parameters, compile program list and size information, erroneous
program numbers, error codes, ROM-format file size information and
so forth are listed.
The name of a link list file is the same as the link control file name,
except that the extension .MAP is assigned to the link list file name.
For output to a printer, for example, use a standard MS-DOS
command.
(4) Specifying the destinations to which the macro linker outputs

files
The directory of the destinations to which the macro linker outputs
files can be specified as desired according to linking conditions.
NOTE
This function is effective only for FANUC MACRO Compiler
Version 02.1 and later versions.
–Fm : Specifies a destination to which a link list file is output.

–Fr : Specifies a destination to which a ROM-format file is output.
Example: Generating SAMPL.MAP to directory B:\MAP and
SAMPL.ROM to directory C:\ROM

A ROM format file that is created by linking (MLINK) is checked for
its size whether it is overflown or not. The size of ROM format file
is set by compile parameter No. 9000 and 9001 (No.8500 for
series15i–A).
If a prepared ROM format file may exceed the size that was set by
compile parameter 9000 (No.8500 for series15i) and 9001 as a result
of linking, an error is produced when the macro linker is executed.

(1) Operation
After placing the CNC system in the macro executor receive ready
state, a linked ROM-format file is transferred with the following
command:
A:\> MTRNSC file-spec parameters -F -S
*1 file-spec
This specifies a ROM-format file to be transferred.
*2 parameters

–F : Overwriting loader command (See item (3).)

–S : Not required in the Series 16/18–A.
Example: The file SAMPL.ROM is transferred to Series 16-A.
A:\> MTRNSC SAMPL.ROM 32 00800000
(2) RS-232-C interface

For transfer, the RS-232-C serial interface channel at standard port
No. 0 is used. Before a RS-232–C interface can be used, it must be
set and initialized according to the conditions below.
Transfer rate : Value set with the connected CNC system
Data length : 7 bits
Parity : Enable/even parity
Stop bit : Value set with the connected CNC system
Xon/off control applied
(3) Overwriting loader command effective
Only a user macro program can be transferred (execution of the
overwriting loader function ) by specifying the transfer parameter.
First all the files are transferred once, then only the changed user
macro program is transferred. This enables the macro program to be
debugged.
(This function is only effective for FANUC MACRO Compiler
Version 02.1 and later versions.)
Example)
MTRNSC SAMPL.ROM 32 00800000 -F
–F : Overwriting loader command
When this command is specified, only the macro program (P-code
program) is transferred from the ROM-format file; execution control
software (executor) is not transferred.
a) Activate the P-code loader function in the initialization loader

function mode specified for the CNC (bit 1 of parameter No. 8701
= 0) to transfer all files from the personal computer.
MTRNSC SAMPL.ROM 32 00800000
b) Debug the macro program.
c) If an error is found, correct the macro program and compile or
link the macro program to create the ROM-format file again.
d) Activate the P-code loader function in the overwriting loader
function mode specified for the CNC (bit 1 of parameter No. 8701
= 1). Specifying -F transfers the macro program from the
personal computer.
MTRNSC SAMPL.ROM 32 00800000 -F
Repeat steps b), c), and d) to debug the macro program.
If the library to be linked has been modified according to the software
revision, the above procedure must be followed again from step a),
transferring all files.

5 SYMBOLIC MACRO PROGRAM
A macro program is to be created according the rule described below.

(1) A macro program must start with address O. Address % must be
specified at the end of the file. Multiple programs can be coded in a
single file. At this time, the start of each program can be identified
by address O. Data after address %, if any, is ignored. When multiple
programs are coded, address % must be coded at the end.
O0001 #101=1;
G00 X#101;
:
O0002 G243 X0 YX (ABS);
#500=#501+#502;
:
%
(2) One line can contain only one block. The end of block (EOB) is
represented by a semicolon (;). All data after a semicolon on a line
is regarded as a comment.
#100=#101; COMMENT
G00 X123. Y234. ; G01 ; =>
”G01 ;” after ; is regarded as comment.
(3) All data after /: is regarded as a comment. A line starting with /* is

regarded as a comment line; such a line is not compiled.
/: comment => Compiler ignores this line as comment line.

/: comment
/:
O0001 ;
/: comment => Compiler ignores this line as comment line.
G00 ...;
;/: comment => Blank block containing only ; is created.
M99;
%
(4) Programming using symbolic names

A symbolic name can be defined for a variable, expression, or
character string to allow programming using symbolic names. A
symbolic name can be defined as described below.
5. SYMBOLIC MACRO PROGRAM B–66102E/10
Symbolic name definition

@xxxx yyyyyy
xxxx: Symbolic name
(String of alphanumeric characters beginning with an
alphabetic character)
Version 1.4 or pre- Version 2.1 or subse-

Version of the compiler
vious versions quent versions
Maximum number of
8 32
characters
yyyyyy: Definition character string (not longer than 80 characters)

After a symbolic name is defined, the symbolic name used in a program
is replaced by the corresponding definition character string.
Example)
@COUNT1 #100
@ON =1
@OFF =0
@CURSOR #8505
@RETURN M99
/:
O0001 ; ==>> O0001 ;
CURSOR ON ; #8505 =1 ;
COUNT1 = COUNT1+1 ; #100 = #100+1 ;
RETURN ; M99 ;
(5) Symbolic name for sequence number

A symbolic name can be assigned to a sequence number as described
below. In (4) above, a symbolic name is just used for a definition
character string. On the other hand, a symbolic name for a sequence
number is regarded as a sequence number when it is coded at the start
of a block, and is regarded as a jump (GOTO) destination number
when it is coded at a position other than the start of a block.
Definition of symbolic name for sequence number
>xxxx 9999
xxxx: Symbolic name for sequence number
(String of alphanumeric characters beginning with an alphabetic
character)
Version 1.4 or Version 2.1 or
Version of the compiler
previous versions subsequent versions
Maximum number of
8 32
characters
9999: Number (not longer than four digits)

After a symbolic name is defined, the symbolic name used in a program
is replaced by the corresponding sequence number.
Example)
@COUNT1 #100
>JUMP1 100
>SKIP 200
/:
O0002 ; ==> O0002 ;
GOTO JUMP1 ; GOTO 100 ;
IF[COUNT1 LE 0]GOTO SKIP ; IF[#100 LE 0]GOTO 200 ;
SKIP ; N200 ;
JUMP1 M99 ; N100 M99 ;
(6) Automatic conversion of hiragana and kanji codes
Hiragana and kanji, when coded in quotation marks and
parentheses as (’ ’), can be auto-matically converted to internal
macro compiler codes by coding.
(’ ’) ==> (:3929 3671 3872 3439
2437 245E 2439:)
Kanji and hiragana must be coded using full-size characters, and
alphanumeric characters, spaces, special symbols must be coded
using half-size characters.
Specifying a compiling condition as -FS0 enables the characters
usable in the Series 0 to be checked. When -FS0 is specified, the
characters unusable in the Series 0 cause a compiling error.
(This specification is only effective for FANUC MACRO Compiler
Version 02.1 and later versions.)
MCOMP0 TEST -FS0

(7) Reference to external file ($INCLUDE control statement)
By using the $INCLUDE control statement, a program, symbol
definition, and so forth contained in a separate file can be referenced.
With this function, definitions and processing common to multiple
programs can be specified in a separate file so that each program file
can reference those definitions and processing.
Example)
Program file
/:
$INCLUDE \MCOMP\TOOL\SYSTEM.DEF
/:
O0003 ; ==> O0003 ;
TAIWAP1 =5 ; #8500 =5 ;
RETURN ; M99 ;
Include file (\MCOMP\TOOL\SYSTEM.DEF)

/:
@TAIWAP1 #8500
@RETURN M99
/:
(8) Array variable coding

Variables can be used as a one-dimensional array by using a simple
coding method.
Coding method
#999<expression>
999: Number of first variable in array
By this coding method, variables can be referenced or written to as
array data with an index indicated by the expression and starting with
the variable specified in 999.
#100<#101> is equivalent to #[100+#101].
(9) Reference list page eject control ($EJECT control statement)
By using the $EJECT control statement, reference list page eject
operation can be freely controlled.
Example)

(10)Enhancement of IF and WHILE statements

The IF and WHILE statements have been enhanced.
(a) Determination of an operation result
Only an operation expression can be specified as the condition of
the IF or WHILE statement. The execution of the IF or WHILE
statement is controlled depending on whether the operation result
is equal to 0.
Format:
WHILE[operation-expression] DOx ;
ENDx ;
IF[operation-expression] GOTO xxx ;

IF[operation-expression] THEN<Macro statement>;
Example)
The left macro instructions are equivalent to the right macro
instructions.
WHILE[#100]DO1; å WHILE[#100 NE 0]DO1;
D D
D D
END1; END1;
IF[#100+#101]GOTO123; å IF[[#100+#101]NE 0 ]GOTO123;

IF[SIN[#1]]THEN #1=0; å IF [SIN[#1] NE 0] THEN #1=0 ;
(b) Logical operations, AND and OR

Multiple conditions can be specified in an IF statement. The
conditions ANDed or ORed control the execution of the IF
statement.
Format :
IF[<condition>&&<condition>]GOTO xxx;
IF[<condition>||<condition>]THEN<MACRO statement> ;
An AND is represented with an && sign and OR with an ££ sign.
Up to three ANDs or ORs can be specified in a single IF
statement. However, an AND and OR must not be specified
together in a single IF statement.
IF[<condition>&&<condition>&&<condition>&&
<condition>] THEN<MACRO stmnt>; –OK
IF[<condition>||<condition>||<condition>||
<condition>]GOTO xxx; –OK
IF[<condition>&&<condition>||<condition>]
GOTO xxx ; –NG
Example)
IF[#100 EQ 1 && #101 GT 0] GOTO 100 ;
IF[#100 E Q1 ||#101 NE 1 || #102 GT 10 ] THEN #102=1 ;
(c) IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF
The syntax of an IF statement has been enhanced. Structured
programming is possible using IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF.
The following shows the formats of syntactically valid IF
statements.
IF[...]GOTO 999 ;
IF[...]THEN Macro-st ;
IF[...]THEN Macro-st; *Macro-st:

IF[#100 EQ 0] THEN #101 = 1;

ELSE #101 = 2;
b) When an instruction to be executed is an NC statement or

multiple instructions to be executed, the NC statement or
multiple instructions must be specified between the
THEN/ELSE line and ENDIF line as shown in and .
IF[#100 EQ 0] THEN ;
GO1 X100 Y200 ;

THEN/ELSE. In this case, no ENDIF statement is usually
required. However, an ENDIF statement is required when
IF [...] THEN Macro-st ; is specified just before ELSE or
ENDIF of the previous nesting as shown below:
IF [...] THEN ;
IF [...] THEN Macro-st ;
ENDIF ; äThe ENDIF line is required
ELSE ; because IF [...] THEN
Macro-st ; is specified just
before ELSE or ENDIF of
the previous nesting.

B–66102E/10 6. RS-232-C INTERFACE SETTING
6 RS-232-C INTERFACE SETTING
To transfer a ROM-format file to the CNC system or FANUC

PMC-Writer/FA-Writer for writing to ROM/verification or transfer a
macro program, the RS-232-C interface is controlled using the DOS
function call (21H) auxiliary I/O device (AUX) for MS-DOS. By device
specification with CONFIG.SYS, enable RS-232-C ports to be controlled
with the auxiliary I/O device (AUX).
The RS-232-C interface must be set or initialized beforehand according
to the conditions described below. If a transfer operation is once
performed via a RS-232-C interface, and the RS-232-C is used again with
the same or another command, the RS-232-C interface must be
initialized.
Transfer rate : Value set with the connected CNC system

Data length : 7 bits
Parity : Enable/even parity
Stop bit : Value set with the connected CNC system
Xon/off control
System installation processing creates, for use by the user, a standard
batch file for RS-232-C interface initialization under the directory
\MCOMP\TOOL.
(1) For Fujitsu FMR Series (\MCOMP\TOOL\RSFMR.BAT)

Contents : SETUP RSC R0,4800,BITS-7,
PARITY-EVEN.STOP-2,XON
(2) For NEC PC98 Series (\MCOMP\TOOL\RSPC98.BAT)

Contents : SPEED RS232-0 4800 BITS-7 PARITY-EVEN
STOP-2 XON
(3) For IBM PC-AT Series (\MCOMP\TOOL\RSPCAT.BAT)

Contents : MODE COM1:48,E,7,2
7. GP-IB INTERFACE SETTING
(FOR Series 0, 15–A, 16–A, 18–A) B–66102E/10
GP-IB INTERFACE SETTING
7 (FOR Series 0, 15-A, 16-A, 18-A)
The GP-IB interface performs interface processing by using a GP-IB

BIOS driver provided by each personal computer supplier. The user is to
prepare a GP-IB interface board for a personal computer model to use, and
to initialize the board according to the operator’s manual before usage.
(1) GP-IB interface board
Use the GP-IB interface boards listed below.
(a) NEC PC98 Series
NEC GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface board (PC-9801-29N)
(b) IBM PC-AT Series
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
VAT-GPIB Interface & NI-488.2 MS-DOS/NI-488.2 WindowGs
SoftwareW
FD3/FD5 NO.776207-1
(2) GP-IB interface board setting
(a) Set the GP-IB address to 1E (hexadecimal).
When an address other than 1E is to be used for some reason, the
same address must be set in the parameter -MAxx of the
ROM-format file transmitter command
(MROMWTG/MROMVFG).
When GP-IB address OF is set:
A:\> MROMWTG SAMPL.ROM -K110 -K223 -ID40B0 -MA0F
(b) Select the master mode rather than the slave mode.
The master mode must be selected because the GP-IB control
function is performed on the personal computer.
(c) Others
For other settings, refer to the operator’s manual of each GP-IB
board.
(3) FANUC FA Writer setting
(a) Set the GP-IB address to 00 (hexadecimal).
The address is factory-set to 00.
(b) Set the transfer block size to 2058 bytes.
The block size is factory-set to 256 bytes.
(4) Switching the interface of the FANUC FA Writer
(a) Switching the interface of the FANUC FA Writer to a GPIB

interface.
To switch the interface, turn on the power to the FANUC FA
Writer while pressing the FUNCTION key. The FANUC FA
Writer then enters the GPIB interface mode.
B–66102E/10 8. SYSTEM COMMON SYMBOL DEFINITION FILE
8 SYSTEM COMMON SYMBOL DEFINITION FILE
When the system is installed, a system common symbol definition file is

stored under the directory \MCOMP\TOOL. For macro program
creation, the user should make full use of the symbolic names defined in
the file for variables commonly used with the system.
System common symbol definition file

File name: \MCOMP\TOOL\SYSTEM.DEF
To use this file, use the external file reference function described in Item
(7) in Chapter 5. For a usage example, see Appendix D.
For information about the defined symbols, see Appendix A.
9. HOW TO VIEW REFERENCE LIST/COMPILE LIST B–66102E/10
9 HOW TO VIEW REFERENCE LIST/COMPILE LIST
A source program coded using symbolic macro programs is converted by

the macro compiler to a program in custom macro format for compile
processing. The macro compiler outputs two types of list files: one for
a reference list, and the other for a compile list.
Since conversion processing is performed, the comment lines and symbol
definition lines in a source program are not listed. For this reason, a
reference list and compile list output two types of line numbers to identify
a compile error in a source program.
(1) Reference list
A source program coded using symbolic macro programs, cross
reference data of used symbols, error messages from conversion
processing, and so forth are output in a reference list.
Line number S-Line : Source program line number
Line number G-Line : Line number after conversion
(2) Compile list
A program converted to a program in custom macro format, cross
reference data of used variables, compile error messages, and so forth
are output in a compile list.
Line number G-Line : Line number after conversion
Line number P-Line : Line number for each program number
In the example below, the compile list has an error on G-Line 0002; the
same G-Line 0002 in the reference list and the line 4 in the source program
have this error.
Example)

B–66102E/10 APPENDIX D. COMPILE/LINK EXAMPLE
D COMPILE/LINK EXAMPLE
The compile/link example described below is created under the directory
X:\MCOMP\USR\SAMPL
when the macro compiler utility system is installed.
Details of sample:
Times required for instruction execution by each of the conversational
macros are measured:
1. #100 = #101+#102 ;
2. #100 = #101 AND #102 ;
3. #100 = SIN[#101] ;
The number of test operations is set beforehand in the common variable

(#500). Time required for looping by the number of test operations by the
WHILE instruction is measured by the timer variable (#3001). Then time
required for the same number of loops by the WHILE instruction
containing an instruction subject to measurement is measured. Thus the
difference between two measurement times is the execution time of the
instruction subject to measurement.

MACRO CONVERTER (MCONV) OPERATION GUIDE FOR
E THE FANUC Series 16/18 Super CAP M/Super CAP II M
Super CAP M/Super CAP II M APPENDIX B–66102E/10
E.1 Appendix E describes how to operate the tool for supporting the
conversational automatic programming function (Super CAP M/Super
INTRODUCTION CAP II M) for milling machines.
The user can convert conversational programming menu definition
programs together with other macro programs to ROM-format files in a
personal computer using the procedure below:
The procedures for creating a ROM file and MEM file for Super CAP M
or Super CAP II M are described below.
(1) Create the following menu definition programs with an editor.
D Menu definition program
D Conversational data definition program
D Data item display program
(2) Convert a source file to the table data file in the Super CAP/Super
CAP II M table format using the macro converter (MCONV).
Example: MCONV JZH_PARA
JZH_PARA: Name of source program file for table data
(3) Compile the source programs to object files using the macro compiler
(MCOMPO).
Example: MCOMPO MACHINE
MACHINE: Source program file name
(4) Use the macro linker (MLINK) to convert the object and table data
files to ROM–format files.
Example: MLINK BJ64_J
BJ64_J: Link control file name
(5) Use the MEM file conversion tool (MMCARD) to convert
ROM–format files to memory–card–format files.
This step is not required for the Series 16/18–MA.
Example: MMCARD BJ64_J
BJ64_J: ROM–format file name
For the syntax of menu definition programs, refer to the ”Super CAP M
Programming Manual” (B-62153E).
NOTE
A FANUC standard macro program is provided only after a
confidentiality agreement with a machine tool builder has
been signed.
E.2
MACRO CONVERTER
(MCONV)
E.2.1 A source file (extension: .DAT) containing a menu definition program,

conversational data definition program, and data item display program is
Outline
converted to the table data file (extension: .TBL). The conversion result
is output to the table conversion list (extension: .LST).
Menu definition program

Conversational data MCONV Table data
definition program (***.TBL)
Data item display program
(***.DAT)
Table conversion list

(***.LST)
E.2.2 The command format is as follows:

Operation A:\>MCONV file-spec parameters
(1) file-spec
Specifies the name of a source file to be converted. Specify a file
name in one of the two ways below:
D Directly specify a file name or file names
(Examples)
A:\>MCONV ABC DEF GHI
This command converts ABC.DAT, DEF.DAT, and GHI.DAT.
D Specify a link control file

(Examples)
A:\>MCONV @XYZ
This command converts the files specified with TBL= in
XYZ.LNK. For details, see Chapter 3.
(2) parameters
The following parameters can be specified.
–NR : Disables table data and files to be output.

–L1 : Disables the table conversion list to be output.
E.2.3 Create a source file consisting of menu definition programs in the format
of a text file. Be sure to assign extension .DAT to the source file.
Source File
The menu definition program, conversational data definition program,
and data item display program can be combined into the file as desired in
program units. All programs can be created in a single file. If a single
file contains a single program, up to 488 files can be created.
Super CAP M/Super CAP II M APPENDIX B–66102E/10
E.2.4 This file, which is output by the converter, is to be edited by the macro

CREATING PROGRAMS BY USING SUPER CAP II
F M/SUPER CAP II T WITH Series 16i/18i
B–66102E/10 APPENDIX WITH Series 16i/18i
F.1 The conventional Super CAP system (referred to below as CAP),

compiles and links all the required user programs (referred to below as
OVERVIEW programs) into a single MEM file (referred to below as a module), then
loads that file into the CNC.
Modular Super CAP (modular CAP) allows programs to be loaded into
the CNC as a set of modules. The modules include a CAP control module,
provided as a library, and other program modules.
After the CAP control module has been loaded into the CNC, a
user–developed module (user module) can be independently modified or
loaded.
NOTE
The modular function can be used with the modular CAP
only.
F.2 The requirements for developing a user module and operating it on the
CNC are listed below:
DEVELOPMENT
ENVIRONMENT (1) Personal computer
D Main memory: At least 640K bytes
D OS: MS–DOS Version 3.1 or above
D Hard disk: Minimum of about 20M bytes
D 3.5” floppy disk drive
(2) Peripherals
D Memory card adapter
D 4M–byte flash memory card (Intel iMC004–FLSA)
(3) FANUC macro compiler (for personal computers)
D A08B–9001–J760#EN07 (for FANUC Series 16i)
D A08B–9001–J765#EN07 (for FANUC Series 18i)
(4) FANUC Super CAP macro library
D CAP module
D Macro libraries 1 and 2 for developing user modules
(5) NC
D NC system supporting modular CAP
D Macro capacity of at least 3M bytes
D F–ROM module with sufficient capacity to transfer the CAP
control module and user modules
F.3 The CAP control module is a MEM file that is provided in place of the
conventional library file. The CAP control module is loaded into the
CAP CONTROL CNC.
MODULE The CAP control module contains the following programs:
D CAP system control program
D FANUC standard macro program (Super CAP II T only)
F.4 The following user modules can be created:

USER MODULES D Up to two user modules (user modules 1 and 2).
D The maximum total size of user modules 1 and 2 is 768K bytes
for Super CAP II T and 1.625M bytes for Super CAP II M.
The subsequent sections describe the procedure for creating a user
module, restrictions, and notes.
F.4.1 The following macro libraries are provided for creating the user modules:
Macro Libraries for D For FANUC Series 16i Super CAP II T: F16ITP1.MEX,
F16ITP2.MEX
Developing User
D For FANUC Series 16i Super CAP II M: F16IMP1.MEX,
Modules F16IMP1C.MEX, F16IMP2.MEX
NOTE
1 F16?P1.MEX and F16?P1C.MEX are used to create user
module 1.
2 F16?P2.MEX is used to create user module 2.
F.4.2 Follow the conventional procedure for developing a user module.

Developing a User Specify a macro library for developing a user module instead of the
conventional macro library. Then, compile and link the modules, and
Module convert the modules into memory card format.
The compile parameters to be specified are the same as the conventional
parameters. When specifying the size of the memory card module,
however, specify the size of the user module in the compile parameter
indicated below:
Bit No.
Address #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0
9000 LD6 M3MB M2MB M1MB M512 M256 M128
Do not specify those bits indicated by shading.

Always specify LD6 to 1.
Size M512 M256 M128

512KB 1 0 0
256KB 0 1 0
128KB 0 0 1
The size of user module 1 of Super CAP II M is always 1.375M bytes.

Do not specify the M512 bit for user module 2 of Super CAP II M.
Specify the series and edition of the user module by adding the following
two lines to the link file.
SERN = series
VERN = edition
The series and edition can be specified with a combination of up to four
characters each from numerals (0 to 9 and upper–case A to Z). The series
and edition specified in the link file are displayed on the conversational
system configuration screen (Super CAP only).
NOTE
Specify the user module series/edition display.
When a single user program is divided into two modules, specify the same
compile parameters (except parameter 9000) in the link files for user
modules 1 and 2.
F.4.3 User modules 1 and 2 must be loaded into F–ROM separately from the
CAP control module.
Transferring the User
Module to F–ROM The CAP control module and user modules 1 and 2 have the following file
names on the F–ROM.
D CAP control module
PDff_CAP
Depends on the SYSTEM compile parameter.
T when SYSTEM is TPATH1 or TPATH2.
M when SYSTEM is MPATH1 or MPATH2.
Depends on the SYSTEM compile parameter.

2 when SYSTEM is TPATH2 or MPATH2
D User module 1
P1ff
Size specified in compile parameter 9000. However,
_CAP is indicated for Super CAP II M.
D User module 2
P2ff
F.4.4 When a FANUC standard program and a user program have identical
Executing the User program numbers, the user program takes priority. A FANUC standard
program can, therefore, be changed by creating a new program in the user
Program module and assigning it the number of the FANUC standard program to
be changed (Super CAP II T only).
When user modules 1 and 2 have identical program numbers, that
specified in user module 2 takes priority.
F.4.5
Restrictions and Notes (1) User modules 1 and 2 should not have identical user program
on Developing the User numbers. If the modules have identical program numbers, the
program specified in user module 2 takes priority.
Module
(2) Identical compile parameters must be specified in user modules 1 and
2 (except for compile parameter 9000).
(3) The total size of user modules 1 and 2 must not exceed the following:
D Super CAP II T: 768K bytes
D Super CAP II M: 1.625M bytes
F.5
RESTRICTIONS (1) The P–CODE loading function cannot be used with modular CAP.
IMPOSED ON THE (2) No program can be executed with the user modules only. The CAP
control module is necessary.

OUTLINE can be executed. (Some models run the CNC system software entirely in
flash memory or EPROM, without using DRAM.)
The CNC boot system supports the following system maintenance
functions:
(1) Registering a file in flash memory
Reads a file to flash memory from an MS-DOS format memory card
conforming to JEIDA V4.1.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in flash memory
(3) Deleting a file from flash memory
(4) Batch saving of parameters, programs, and other files, powered by
battery (SRAM area), to a memory card and batch restoring of data
from the memory card
(5) Writing a file in flash memory to a memory card
(6) Formatting a memory card
(7) Deleting a file from a memory card
This manual describes the activation of the boot system, as well as the
operation and corresponding screen displays for the functions listed

The names of the files written from flash memory to the memory card
are as follows:
D Series 16/18
Flash memory Memory card
NC BASIC ! NC_BASIC.XXX
DG SERVO ! DG_SERVO.XXX
NC1 OPTN ! NC1_OPTN.XXX
PMC-RB ! PMC–RB.XXX
PCD 0.5M ! PCD_0.5M.XXX
PCD 1.0M ! PCM_1.0M.XXX
D Series 20
OPT LANG ! OPT_LANG.XXX
PMC-RA ! PMC–RA.XXX
D Series 21
NC1 OPTN ! NC1_OPTN.XXX
PMC-RA ! PMC–RA.XXX
PCD 128k ! PCD_128k.XXX
PCD 256k ! PCD_256k.XXX
XXX is equivalent to the extension assigned to MS-DOS file names.
One of 32 numbers from 000 to 031 is assigned as XXX. For
example, if a PMC-RB file in flash memory is saved to a memory card
containing no PMC_RB.* files, the saved file is named
PMC_RB.000. If that same file is saved to a memory card that
already contains a PMC_RB.000 file, however, it is named
PMC_RB.001. In this way, the extension is incremented by one, up
to PMC_RB.031. If there are any free extension numbers in the
sequence of the extension numbers, they are used in ascending order.
If two or more files having identical names but different extension
numbers are saved to a single memory card, check the file names
displayed after saving. In the case of Serics 20, to write a P-CODE
macro file, with a password assigned by MLINK, from flash memory
to a memory card, the password must be entered. The macro
password is explained in Sec.G.4.

HIT SELECT KEY. found.
Action A backup file is required for restoration.
SRAM PARITY OCCURRED. Cause A parity error was detected during backup operation of SRAM
PLEASE POWER OFF. (Caution).
Action The SRAM areas of all CNCs are cleared before shipment
from the factory so that they are free from parity errors. If,
however, the CNC receives impact during transportation, or
it is left unused for one year or longer, causing the backup bat-
tery to run down, a parity error may occur in the SRAM area.
If a parity error occurs in the SRAM area, the data stored there
is not guaranteed. On the other hand, the CNC may not use
the entire SRAM area. It is when the portion where a parity
error occurred is called that the error is detected by the hard-
ware. If, therefore, a parity error occurs in a portion not ac-
cessed by the CNC, the CNC may operate without any prob-
lems. The SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT, however,
reads the entire SRAM area, and a parity error may be de-
tected during backup although the CNC operates without any
problems. Strictly speaking, if this occurs, the SRAM data of
the CNC is not guaranteed and the data cannot be backed up
using the SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT. Because, how-
ever, the CNC may operate without any problem, it is recom-
mended that the necessary data be backed up using a floppy
cassette or handy file, all data clear be performed, and then
the data backup be loaded into the CNC. Once all clear is per-
formed, the parity error is eliminated, making it possible to use
the SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT.

SETTING A MACRO
PASSWORD
(Series 20)
G.4.1
Overview The Series 20 can easily read a file from flash memory and write it to a
memory card. Security for the P-CODE file of a user-created macro
executor is important. Assigning a password to the P-CODE file at a link
(MLINK) affords security against the unauthorized reading of that file.
MLINK of personal computer compiler V02.3 or later, which supports a
function for specifying a password is used to achieve this.
G.4.2
Password Specify a single five-digit password, each of the digits being from 1 to 5.
A number greater than or equal to 6 or 0 cannot be specified for the
password. Only five digits can be specified. If passwords are not used,
avoid coding PASS= in the MLINK link control file, described later.
Characters that can be specified: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Number of digits: 5
If a password that does not satisfy these requirements is specified, the
system displays the following error message:
ERROR: Illegal parameter is specified:PASS=XXXXX
The system stops MLINK processing.
G.4.3
Setting a Password Specify a password in the MLINK link control file (extension .LNK). The
five digits immediately subsequent to PASS= constitute the password.
In the example below, the password is 15243.
(Example)
/:
/: MACRO COMPILER UTILITY LINK FILE

G.5 When the NO SPACE message is displayed, flash memory is in one of the
following two states:

If P-CODE macro file PCD 0.5M is deleted, eight management units (1MB)
become free in flash memory. As the free management units are separated
in flash memory, the 1-MB P-CODE macro file PCD 1.0M cannot be read
into flash memory. (Use the SYSTEM DATA CHECK screen to determine
whether the management unit numbers of the files are contiguous.)
If non-contiguous free areas are found, use the SYSTEM DATA SAVE
function to save the OPT LANG file, sandwiched between two free areas,
to a memory card. Then, delete the OPT LANG file from flash memory.
Re-read the file from the memory card into flash memory. The file will
now be placed next to the PMC-RA file, with a continuous free area of
1MB reserved.
NOTE
The OPT LANG system file is deleted in this example only
for ease of explanation. Actually, the user cannot delete a
system file.

H.1 The boot system load the CNC system software (flash RAM→DRAM),
then starts it so that software can be executed.
OVERVIEW The boot system provides the following maintenance functions for the
CNC:
(1) Registering a file in flash ROM
⋅ Reads a file from a memory card, in FAT format, into flash ROM.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in flash ROM
(3) Deleting a file from flash ROM
(4) Batch saving and restoration of files of parameters and programs
backed up by battery (SRAM area), to and from a memory card
(5) Saving a file in flash ROM to a memory card
(6) Formatting of a memory card
(7) Deleting a file from a memory card
This manual describes the activation of the boot system, as well as the
screen displays and operation for the functions listed above.
CAUTION
This control unit supports the use of a memory card as an
input/output device. When a flash card is used, however,
data can be written to a FANUC–recommended card only.
Data can be read in the same way as with an ordinary SRAM
card, provided the data has been saved in FAT format. Note
that, when a flash card is used, the card capacity is reduced
by 128KB.
See the order list for details of the supported memory card
types.

3 File name of the executor system software

The Series 16i/18i/21i–A has separate executor system software for
path 1, path 2, and the loader. All the software is stored in the flash
ROM of the first path.
Under two–path control with the Series 16–C and the like, a common
executor system software file name (PCD1.0M, for example) is used
for different paths. The Series 16i/18i/21i, however, use separate file
names for different paths.
Accordingly, keyword SYSTEM has been added to the link control
file of the macro compiler. (See Section 4.2, ”Macro Linker.”)
The following format is used for the file name in the flash ROM.
(1) Format of the file name in the flash ROM

PLEASE POWER OFF. (Caution).
Action The SRAM areas of all CNCs are cleared before shipment
from the factory so that they are free from parity errors. If,
however, the CNC receives impact during transportation, or
it is left unused for one year or longer, causing the backup bat-
tery to run down, a parity error may occur in the SRAM area.
If a parity error occurs in the SRAM area, the data stored there
is not guaranteed. On the other hand, the CNC may not use
the entire SRAM area. It is when the portion where a parity
error occurred is called that the error is detected by the hard-
ware. If, therefore, a parity error occurs in a portion not ac-
cessed by the CNC, the CNC may operate without any prob-
lems. The SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT, however,
reads the entire SRAM area, and a parity error may be de-
tected during backup although the CNC operates without any
problems. Strictly speaking, if this occurs, the SRAM data of
the CNC is not guaranteed and the data cannot be backed up
using the SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT. Because, how-
ever, the CNC may operate without any problem, it is recom-
mended that the necessary data be backed up using a floppy
cassette or handy file, all data clear be performed, and then
the data backup be loaded into the CNC. Once all clear is per-
formed, the parity error is eliminated, making it possible to use
the SRAM BACKUP function of BOOT.

I.1
OUTLINE The P-CODE loader function transfers ROM-format files created by a
personal computer (PC) macro compiler into RAM of CNC. The function
also supports writing to flash ROM (exclude of Series 21–TA).
The CNC is connected to the PC via the RS-232C interface.
The communication parameters for transferring a ROM-format file
(loading) depend on the parameters specified for the CNC. The
parameters must be specified prior to loading.
When the CNC is turned off then back on by simultaneously pressing the
CAN and PROG MDI keys, this function displays the specialized data
transfer screen (loading screen). If Series 16/18–B/C having two–path
control is used, the loading screen is displayed after tool post 1 or 2 is
selected from the tool post selection screen. Data can be transferred only
when the loading screen is displayed.
Specify data transfer from the PC. For details of the transfer command,
see Section 4.3.
While this function is being executed, the CNC power-on sequence is
halted. While the specialized data transfer screen or loading screen is
displayed, the CNC is disabled. This function requires the executor
function and reader/punch control function.

J. P-CODE LOADER FUNCTION
(FOR Series 20) APPENDIX B–66102E/10
J P-CODE LOADER FUNCTION (FOR Series 20)
The P-CODE loader function transfers ROM-format files created by a

personal computer (PC) macro compiler into RAM of CNC. The function
also supports writing to flash ROM.
The CNC is connected to the PC via the RS-232C interface.
The communication parameters for transferring a ROM-format file
(loading) depend on the parameters specified for the CNC. The
parameters must be specified prior to loading.
Display an IPL menu by turning on the power while pressing the two most

K.1
OUTLINE The boot system of the Series 15-B/15i-A first loads the CNC system
software (Flash Memory (F-ROM) → DRAM), then starts execution of
the CNC software so that other software can be executed.
The Series 15-B/15i-A boot system supports the following system
maintenance functions:
(1) Registering a file in F-ROM
D Reads a file to flash memory from an MS-DOS format memory card
conforming to JEIDA V4.1.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in F-ROM
(3) Deleting a file from F-ROM
(4) Writing a file in F-ROM to a memory card
(5) Registering a ROM-format file stored on a macro cassette (ROM
cassette) into F-ROM (only series 15-B)
This appendix describes how to register/delete macro programs into/from
the Series 15-B/15i-A by using the above functions.
CAUTION
1 Memory card handling
A memory card can be inserted or removed while the power
is on. While the boot system is running, however, insert or
remove a memory card only while the main menu is
displayed.
2 ROM cassette handling (Only Series 15-B)
Turn off the power before attempting to insert or remove a
ROM cassette.
* For the Series 15–B and 15i–A, the display numbers and order may
differ. The operation method is, however, the same. In the text of this
manual, the screens of the Series 15–B are used. For details of the
Series 15i–A, refer to the Maintenance Manual (B–63325EN).
K.2
MEMORY CARD (a) Specifications
SPECIFICATIONS For the Series 15-B/15i-A boot system, commercially available
memory cards conforming to the following specification can be used:
AND RESTRICTIONS Format : JEIDA Ver. 4 or above
Capacity : 512K bytes or more (for macro compilers)
(b) Size of MEM-format file
The following table lists the maximum size of a MEM-format file
which can be saved to a memory card:
MEM-format file Size in memory card
256K bytes 262272 bytes (256K bytes + 128 bytes)
512K bytes 524416 bytes (512K bytes + 128 bytes)
NOTE
A MEM-format file cannot be split and saved to two or more
memory card. Always prepare a memory card having a
capacity greater than the size of the MEM-format file to be
saved. Two or more MEM-format files can be saved to a
single memory card.
(c) Restrictions imposed on the boot system

The boot system can access only those files in the root directory. Files
in a subdirectory cannot be accessed. In principle, for the boot
system, do not use a memory card containing a subdirectory.

F-ROM. After confirming that the P-CODE file has been registered
in F-ROM. Press the input key to return the main menu [Fig. K.3 (b)].
(9) Turn off the power of the CNC unit, and remove the ROM cassette
adapter from the mini slot. After removing the adapter, place the
cover over the slot to protect it.
CAUTION
Avoid using the CNC unit while the ROM cassette remains
in its mini slot. If the CNC unit is used without removing the
ROM cassette, the data stored in the ROM cassette takes
precedence, disabling the use of the micro compiler and
P-CODE file program resident in F-ROM.
