Hello
I need donwload the PLC ladder of a CNC 21i-MB.
I have a Fanuc Ladder III sotware installed in my personal computer.
is it possible to discharge the program of PLC with this software by
means of the interface RS232?
Can I edit the program and then load it again?
Thanks
Its faster to use a pcmcia card if you can.
1) Compile your ladder using fanuc ladder III.
2) Save it.
3) Export a memory card file to the pcmcia card on your laptop
(may be possible to export to hard drive on desktop than transfer to
laptop)
4) On the CNC go to system --> pmc --> I/o --> Read
(select the mem card file on the pcmcia card)
(If its the only card on the file the default 1 will work)
5 Exec the read to load the ladder.
Fxxx.x is a bit address comeing from thr NC to the PMC
Rxxx.x is an internal coil
P is a Sub program
Kxxx.x is a Keep relay
RS-232 Load PMC
<SYSTEM> [pmc] [i/o] [monit] [on-line]
