what "@" sign means

[guhl]

controller 11M
periodically "@" blinks at right lower corner of the CRT
what does it mean?

Does this happen when you enable high speed function? There are parameters to change so different things can flash there. I once saw a machine that would flash ' *uckyou ' instead of ' ai nano '.

we've got this machine recently
it's 1985 production year
didn't perform any machining until
I know Fanuc opened macro B option on it

Hey Guhl,

I vaguely remember this happening on one of my old 10t’s but do not recall off hand what exactly it meant. I thought maybe something with condensing programs but do not recall specifically. When I get some time I will dig up some old notes and see if I got anything written down.

I've also seen a flashing @ on the status line, at times. According to the 10/11/12T Operators Manual, the @ symbol on the status line of the display indicates that 'data is being written into bubble memory'. This only applies to Series 11 and 12, since the Series 10 CNC does not use bubble memory.

thanks to all
