Mastering them is pretty easy and they’ll give you tremendous power and control in your g-code programming. They’re just buzzwords and jargon that stand for some pretty simple concepts. Introduction to Fanuc Macro System Variables, Parameterized Programming and Fanuc Macro Bįanuc Macro System Variables, Parameterized Programming, and Fanuc Macro B. Sorry PMT don't want to leave you out you are 100% correct as well.Parameterized Programming: Macro Variables for Fanuc CNCCookbook’s G-Code Tutorial If you don't know the parameters that you need to change or if you can't get to this screen let me know I will dig up the parameters and the procedure for the 21 control. Now you can change the parameters that you need. You must be in MDI and change the parameter write to 1 it will bring an alarm that PWE is on. You will see a soft key that says "settings" under this you should see: I assume you have a parameter book to specify which parameters you need to change correct? If so I am pretty sure on the 21 control it is the second page of your Offset hard key. I make changes to these and options on a daily basis as I am setting up machines for production. These have to be changable from adjustment standpoints other wise everytime a small tweek has to be made you would have to bring Fanuc in. other then the fact your channel and punch codes are on the settings so you dont need to enable PWE. This is no different then making changes from a stand point of grid shift, backlash, custom macros ect. You are looking at making changes to your communications settings. Your option parameters are 9900 thru 9972(depending on your options). Your options are not what you are looking for. Perhaps in the future someone will crack this one as well.īeege is 100% correct. Unfortunatly top secret doesent remain secret for very long. You had to go thru a top secret procedure but the were changable. They are stored in FROM so even if you lose your parameters, you will not lose your option parameters. If you notice on the post 2006 controls, you can not examine the 9900 series in the parameter screen, they are in a diagnostic screen. They will provid the step by step instructions. You do not need an engineer on site but you will have to pay for the option, Fanuc will ask for some files loadable from the memory card, you can email to Fanuc, they will make changes and email back and you reinstall. As far as turning option parameters (9900 series) on or off, as of July 2006 Fanuc has pretty much locked us out of that. You can transfer programs with the flash card by selcting channel 4 on your settings screen. Ethernet and data servers are additional options also requiring hardware. A second port would be an option requiring hardware (do you have a second port on your control?) and is channel 1 on your settings screen. One 232 port is standard and is channel 0 on the settings screen.
