press OFFSET key, then CAP TL > PUNCH.
Initialize Memory Module
With the O & DELETE keys depressed, power on the control, and keep the O & DELETE
keys depressed until you see the memory starting to clear. This will clear the entire
memory module. If the control will not power on at this point, check that main power is
restored and the cabinet door interlock is bypassed. The control may take a few seconds
to clear the entire memory. Alternatively, try powering on with RESET + DELETE to
delete all memory on all boards (not just our Additional SRAM).
NOTE: If you have a Loader OP3 board, it too will be cleared in this procedure. It seems
that TT controls are not affected however, as the L/R switch selects the side to clear.
Restore From Computer


Fanuc Series 15 Model B – Backup to PCMCIA SRAM Card
1. Home the machine before performing the memory upgrade.

2. Insert the PCMCIA SRAM Card into the vertical MEM slot on the CPU card
in the main rack (with the top label facing left). It goes in only a short way and
can be inserted with the power ON or OFF.
3. Power ON the control holding down the Page Up and Page Down keys to
access the INITIAL PROGRAM LOAD (IPL) screen (see note below).
4. Note that the PCMCIA card comes formatted and ready for use already. Note
that some Dell laptops have a power save mode that can affect usage – check
reading and writing capability with your laptop before use.
5. Select the 4 for FILE menu and press INPUT to change to the CNC SRAM
Backup screen (cursor keys may be used for this as well).
Note: If the CNC has an Option board that also has SRAM, it needs to be backed up
as well. An intermediate menu will appear in this case. Select each line and backup
up the files indicated (if present).

SYSTEM MONITOR Screen
Select 4 for FILE Menu and Hit Enter to Get the Store, then 1 for STORE to backup
the FILE1.BAK to the PCMCIA card.

6. Type 1 + INPUT (or cursor to it) for the STORE (CNC-CARD). Save the
SRAM files to the PCMCIA card.
7. Back out of that menu by using the soft keys to select END. (Once at the main
menu you can check the contents of your SRAM card by selecting MEMORY
CARD FILE DELETE and just looking at what files are available for
deletion. Then back out of this menu without deleting anything after looking.)
Backup to Computer – Manual Backup if Needed
If not already connected, connect the CNC to a PC with a serial data cable (see
“Standard Fanuc Serial Cable”, page 1). You will need a communications program
(such as a DNC system or at least a terminal program) to download and upload the
parameters. Make sure the software’s communications settings match the CNC’s.


Option 2: Restore From Computer
1. Set the PWE, but set all bits to 1 (set #8000 to 1111 1111). Enable the
appropriate serial port
2. Restore NC Parameters
Get the computer ready to send the NC data. Make sure its serial communications
settings match the CNC’s corresponding settings.
Select EDIT mode, and turn the Program Protect key OFF.
Press soft keys SERVICE PARAM READ ALL.
Send the data from the computer.
Restore PMC Data

3. Get the computer ready to send the PMC data. Make sure the CNC is ready to
receive the PMC data - see “PMC Data – Communications Settings” on page 5. If
the control has special options, such as a 5th axis table, you might need to power on
in IPL mode (holding - & . ) and then select a boot without the ladder running.
Load the PMC data as follows:

4. If necessary, press the NC/PC soft key to display the PMC screen.

Press the PCPRM soft key to display the PC parameter screen. The soft keys are
displayed as shown (on the 9” CRT the ETC. key switches between the two rows):
6. Press the I/O soft key, then INPUT . Enter the file name and press EXEC . Send
the data from the computer. The corresponding addresses are displayed to show
that the data is correctly input.
NOTE: When data is read, if RAM ENABLE OFF is displayed, this means that
the RAM for the PMC is protected. Press the MODE softkey, place the cursor at
RAM ENABLE using the key and press the ON softkey.
Restore Pitch Error Compensation

6. Get the computer ready to send the Pitch Error Comp. data.
Confirm EDIT mode is selected.
Press the SERVICE then the PITCH soft keys.
Press READ then ALL .
Send the data from the computer.
Restore Offsets
7. Get the computer ready to send the Tool Offset data.
Press < PROGRAM .
Press > until the READ soft key appears
Press READ .
Enter a program number (that’s not being used). Press EXEC .
Switch to MEMORY mode. Press the CYCLE START button.
Once the program finished executing, delete it.
Restore Part Programs

8. Set parameter 0011.0 and 2201.0 to 0 to unprotect part programs in the 8000 and
9000 series.

Press < PROGRAM .
Press > until the READ soft key appears
Press READ ALL .
