4. Clicking on the "Data" tab of the Setup screen allows you to set the type
of transfer to be used. Click on the "Transfer Protocol" button. To
communicate with the CNC, you should select ASCII from the "Current
Transfer Protocol" drop down box. Set the remaining fields in this
window to match those shown below.
NOTE:
Pin #25 has 24 volts power supply on it. Do not use for normal interface
connection or damage to the control may occur.
EIA232C to EIA574 Null Modem Cable
This cable can be used for interfacing between IBM-compatible computers and
GE Fanuc controls. This cable uses a DB25P connector to a DB9S connector.
This is the most commonly used cable for communications and is available from
GE Fanuc or easily fabricated.

system for naming and archiving files must be created. For example, when
backing up the data, you will be asked what to name the resulting data file on
disk. GE Fanuc recommends that you use a unique name such as the machine
serial number, brass tag or asset number, combined with an extension that helps
label the type of data being backed up. By using the first eight (8) characters to
identify the machine and the extension to identify the file type, much confusion
can be avoided. For example, the filename BT156679.CNC could be used to
name the CNC parameter file for machine BT156679.

The ROM files in flash memory are listed together with the number of
management units (128KB management units) in each file.
Use the cursor keys to position the cursor to the file to be saved to the memory
card. Then, press the INPUT/INSERT key.
The INPUT FILE NAME (CAN: RESET) message appears in the message field.
Enter the name of the desired file on the memory card, then press the
INPUT/INSERT key.
To abandon saving, press the RESET key. To end the processing, position the
cursor to END, then press the INPUT/INSERT key. The main menu appears
again.
SRAM DATA BACKUP
To save a complete image of the data stored in SRAM memory, select FILE
DATA BACKUP from the System Monitor screen (selection 4).
23
From the File Data Backup screen, select STORE FILE. To execute batch
restoration, select LOAD FILE. To terminate the processing, select END. To
select the processing, press a cursor key to position the cursor, then press the
INPUT/INSERT key.
When the batch saving or restoration of a file is selected, the size of the systems
backup RAM is displayed on the screen. To execute the selected processing,
press the INPUT/INSERT key. To cancel the processing, press the CAN key.
(See the detailed description given below.)
NOTE
The backup data is saved to file FILEx.BAK, where x is a value of 1 to 4. The
original data can be saved in up to four files. If a single memory card cannot hold
all the original data, the data can be saved using up to four memory cards.
Existing FILEx.BAK files on a memory card may be overwritten if a file of the
24
same name is stored. The names of the files already on the memory card can be
listed in the FILE DIRECTORY field of the SYSTEM DATA LOADING screen.
To execute the batch saving of backup data, perform the following steps:
1. Select the STORE FILE function on the initial screen.
2. When the SET IC CARD NO.1 & HIT INPUT KEY message appears in
the message field, mount the first memory card. Then, press the
INPUT/INSERT key. To cancel the processing, press the RESET key.
The initial screen appears again.
3. While data is being saved, the STORE TO ICCARD message blinks.
Once saving has been completed, the STORE FILE COMPLETE and
HIT INPUT KEY messages appear in the message field. When the
INPUT/INSERT key is pressed, the initial screen appears again. If the
first memory card cannot hold all the data to be saved, the SET
IC/CARD NO.2 & HIT INPUT KEY message appears in the message
field. Mount the second memory card without turning the power off,
then press the INPUT/INSERT KEY.
4. The backup data can be saved using up to four memory cards by
performing step (3) repeatedly. If four memory cards cannot hold all
the data, the FILE DATA SIZE ERROR and HIT INPUT KEY
messages appear in the message field. When the INPUT INSERT key
is pressed, the initial screen appears again.
NOTE
Once batch saving starts, requests to replace the memory card are repeated until
all the backup data has been normally saved (using up to four memory cards).
To stop the processing, press the RESET key while the SET IC CARD NO.x &
HIT INPUT KEY message is displayed.
Data is stored on the memory cards under the following file names:
First memory card:
Second memory card:
Third memory card:
Fourth memory card:
FILE1.BAK
FILE2.BAK
FILE3.BAK
FILE4.BAK
Note that a file on a memory card can be overwritten. If the specified name of a
file to be saved duplicates that of a file already on the card, the old data will be
overwritten.
25
To execute the batch restoration of backup data, perform the following steps:
1. On the initial screen, select the LOAD FILE function.
2. The SET FILE1.BAK & HIT INPUT KEY message appears in the
message field. Mount the first memory card containing FILE1.BAK,
then press the INPUT/INSERT key. To cancel the processing, press
the RESET key. The initial screen appears again.
3. While data is being restored, the LOADING FROM ICCARD message
blinks. Once data restoration has been completed, the LOAD FILE
COMPLETE and HIT INPUT KEY messages appear in the message
field. When the INPUT/INSERT key is pressed, the initial screen
appears again.

CNC SCREEN INPUT AND OUTPUT
(Excludes 0i-Model A)
CNC screen Input and Output is used to transfer the CNC parameters from the
CNC side of the control or to edit the file offline.
Parameters
1. Power up the CNC and select the SYSTEM key.
2. Select EDIT mode on operators panel.
3. Select PARAM soft key then the OPRT softkey and the + softkey.
4. To punch out (download) the parameters to the card, select PUNCH,
then ALL and the CNC will output a file called CNCPARAM.DAT to the
PCMCIA card. This file is always put out with the same name so there
can only be one of these files on the card or it will be written over.
5. To read (upload) the file into the CNC, follow steps 1 to 3, selecting
READ, then EXEC. The CNC will access the PCMCIA card, find the
file named CNCPARAM.DAT and load it into the control. Note that
there can only be one file named CNCPARAM.DAT on the card.
Note:
This file can be edited with a word processor, saved back to the card as a text file
and be reloaded in to the CNC.
ALL IO input and output
All IO Page Input and Output is used to transfer data such as programs,
parameters, offsets, etc. from the I/O screen. Depending on the control model,
this can be done using a memory card or by RS-232.
To access the ALL IO screens:
1. The CNC must be powered up, not in Emergency Stop and in EDIT
mode to use this function.
2. The key sequence is SYSTEM, followed by the + key until the menu
option select ALL IO appears.
3. Additionally, the menus for programs, parameters, offsets, etc., will be
visible. Continue to press the + key until the menus for macro
variables and pitch error appear.
32

1. Access the ALL IO menu screen and select PARAM, OPRT, then
PUNCH.
2. Input the name to be used for the file in a MS-DOS 8+3 format (for
example, BT399513.CNC). Then select F NAME, followed by EXEC,
and the CNC will put the parameters on the card with that file name ( if
no file name is entered then CNCPARAM.DAT will be created
automatically).
Reading (input)
1. Access the ALL IO menu screen and select PARAM, OPRT, then F
READ.
2. The file can be input using one of two methods:

EXEC. The CNC will output the program to the card with that file name
( with no file name entered, the CNC will create a file using O plus the
program # for the file name)
Reading (input)
1. Access the ALL IO screens and select PRGRM, OPRT, then F READ.
2. The files can be input using one of two methods:
a. Select F READ, then page up and down to find the desired file on
the card and input the file number. Next, press F SET, followed by

1. Access the ALL IO menu screen and select OFFSET, OPRT, then
PUNCH.
2. Input the name to be used for the file in a MS-DOS 8+3 format. Then
select F NAME, followed by EXEC, and the CNC will put the offsets on
the memory card with that file name ( with no file name you will get
TOOLOFST.DAT for a file name).
