Denford Software & Machines

Hi,

I have a Triac with a Fanuc 21iM control with the PCMCIA card reader and I can load and save programs from it no problem. The control only has a very small memory 8K so I was wanting to run programs from the SRAM card I have (48MB) like on the machines at work. On those machines I just put a small program in the control and store the big program on the card e.g.

O0001;
M198 P1000;
M30;

When this is run it reads the program O1000 on the card line by line.

My problem is I can not get the Triac to do this it just skips the M198 and finishes with no alarms.

Any help on getting this to work would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Graham

I have the same control as you, I struggled with this as well for a bit - in the end I configured the control for DNC and now just drip feed in the programs from RS232 with easyDNC with M29 on the control.

Works a treat and got me going quite quickly and less frustrated trying to get the PCMCIA option to function
