Hi there,
Can anyone give me some advice, I have a job deadline of tomorrow and when switching on my machine this morning the OM control tool changer is half a pocket out.
I HAVE FOLLOWED THE M27/28 REFERENCING INSTRUCTIONS BUT IT HASNT WORKED, SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL.

M34 ...

BTW, do you have any idea why it didn't like 320M?

I put 128k of additional memory in, thats right isnt it?

That was a great help!

I set them one at a time from 20m upwards, got to 120m ok, it didnt like 320 but it can hold around 2.5k lines now.

Thanks

Bry.

I changed 901 bit 0 to 1, is that correct?

I seem to recall 912 having something to do with memory but can't remember exactly...

Hi Steve,

P-CAN worked perfectly, thanks, nice tip!

Don't suppose you have any ideas about it not liking the memory?

Hi All,

I have just installed more memory (4x32k) in my triac fanuc atc 1991 OM-b control and having backed up params and diags first I wiped all memory and restarted. Then input all the params and diags manually (could not get the comms working with 900's alone so did it the long way!) now I have ...

No worries, any help is gratefully recieved, it's a great little machine but so different from what I am used to!!!

I will give it a try tomorrow, how do you change perameters & PWE, is it alt/ ins?

Its an OM-B nov 1990!

No worries, any help is gratefully recieved, it's a great little machine but so different from what I am used to!!!

Its an OM-B nov 1990!

I have checked my perameters and they only seem to go up to 823...

Also the 5 softkeys along the bottom of the screen never have any options available, is this a perameter setting to?

Good news, my memory modules have turned up thanks Admin!!

Now, what the hell do I do next!!! (please dont be afraid to explain it to me like I am an idiot...)

Hi Guys,

Running a 3D profiling program I get an 021 P/S ALARM on the line I have marked ***, I dont know much about Fanuc as I mainly use Heidenhain but I thought my OM-B should understand IJK moves, is this a working plain issue and can it be sorted by configuring the control? (I read somewhere ...

Right thats the memory modules orderd :D :D thanks for the link, I was expecting to have to pay a lot more than that!!!

Hoping they may turn up tomorrow but will probably be next week. Thanks for the offer of support Mr Magoo, will be taking you up on that for sure! Gonna have a go at backing up ...

Thanks for the pointers guys, unfortunately the car needs an expensive repair so the upgrade will have to wait for a while...

Hi Guys,
Anyone have a sorted EdgeCAM post for a triac fanuc ATC with OM-B control?
Cheers, Bry.

Hi Guys,

Having recently sorted the comms to my machine I very quickly found out just how little data I can hold in the control, around 250 lines!! I am planning to drip feed for 3D stuff but I dont wanna be doing this for everything. Does anyone have any info regarding memory upgrades ie is it ...

Success!! progs in and out

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

Hi,

Yes originally I connected the 25pin RS232 to the 25pin LPT port (I have a taig mill that I converted to CNC which runs through an LPT port) but realising it needed to go to a com port I got a 25pin to 9pin adaptor, then on reading Lone_Ranger's post, the usb option sounded good from a ...

Hi Guys, thanks for the input! :wink:

I have tried using a standard 25 pin cable to the printer port and also a 25 to 9 pin adaptor on the same cable to the serial port. When trying to send/recieve when plugged into the printer port the control seems to go through the correct motions ie flashes ...

Thanks for that, some good info but I am still struggling, I now have an 086 P/S ALARM when I try to transmit or recieve, think it is to do with the pin config, this is not easy...

Hi Everyone :D

I have a Triac Fanuc ATC and need help setting up and using the comms and dripfeeding, I am a Bridgeport/ Heidenhain man so I understand the basic principles of the control but it is not coming easily!

Specs:

Machine S/N: 29100F
