Need help, mori lathe sl-3a

[adperfo]

Good day all! I have been reading for quite some time and it surprising how many knoledgable people are on this forum but this is first time that i am posting. I believe that the bubble memory has **** out. Not a big deal to get a replacement card but the plc and parameters that go with the machine is a little more of a big deal. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

Good day A. Might help if you post the control type. Sl3a could be one of a couple different ones.

fanuc 6tb. Mori seiki want's 1600$ for the board but i'm waiting to see if it has info on it for that price. If not might have some parts for sale. lollll

Ah, yes... call fanuc direct, or Tennessee industrial supply. You should be safe, i believe 6t has software and ladder on a cassette. you will need PMC and NC parameters. Nice thing on those, they were all pretty much the same. The bubble cards aren't available any longer, so the new board will have more memory, and a battery to change every few years..

this is what mori toronto sent me

--THE NEW BOARD WILL HAVE 2 CHECK PINS—ONE LABELED GROUND, THE OTHER INITIALIZED
--PLACE A JUMPER WIRE BETWEEN THE TWO PINS
--TURN IT ON FOR 30SECONDS, THEN TURN IT OFF
--NOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOAD ALL THE PREVIOUS PARAMETERS ETC ETC

i still have to find the parameters
