I can't remember but....

There were some different pieces of sotfware all with the same EXE name (crap idea - not mine). So a piece of software called FANUCMD.EXE was for Desk Top Tutor, and a completely different piece of software, also called FANUCMD.EXE controlled a TRIAC. Bloody nightmare :!:

  • FanucSLD
    Starturn with DTT and GSM controller (Not Baldor as I previously stated!)
    Might also have been for Microturn
  • FanucSMD
    Starmill with DTT and Baldor controller (I think)
    Might also have been for Micromill (or was the FANUCMS)
  • FanucL
    Fanuc Lathe Offline - not for machine control
  • FanucLD
    Fanuc Lathe Desk Top Tutor (not for machine control)
    (Might have been a version that also controlled a mahcine too?)
  • FanucM
    Fanuc Milling Offline - not for machines
  • FanucMD
    Fanuc Milling Desk Top Tutor
    Triac PC
    Triac VMC
