Fanuc 16 mt manuale

[scteff]

I'm searching for Fanuc 16 MT manual.
It's installed on a MoriSeiki SH-50 and branded as MSC 516.
The shop gave me fanuc i series manual (B63014IT/02) referring to it, but I'm not sure that it's the correct one.
If you could give me some hints (the manual code will be sufficient) !
Thanks !

can you describe the control?

So.. the control seems to be a traditional fanuc HMI.
I cannot describe it very clearly because i'm not working on that site now.

I found a picture on the internet of that control. is that:

Inside the cabinet you can see the fanuc controls, "old style", the grey ones with yellow borders.
What I know for sure is that comes with a data server with AUI connector (transceiver installed. separated module from the HMI interface) . And it has the options for High speed machining (20k rpm spindle, if I remember well by operator's words)
The machine came with (as told before) the b-63014/IT (italian, but EN is the same code) operator manual; I'm pretty sure that the operators learned from that manual but, acording to some informations I found in the internet, it seems to be a 16 cnc (not a 16i).

What I really need is to understand the real capabilities of the machine to be compatible with ethernet Focas because focas manual is not pretty clear about that. According to that, 16i - A and B are fully compatible with the functions I need; the 16 isn't.

Thanks.

It looks like a 16i, but can't be sure ;when you say 16m, there are 3 major versions (a,b,c) and minor variations.
How old is the control?

It's installed on a Mori Seiki SH-50. Searching on the internet I found some of them of around 1996, so I think it could be of similar age.

~1996 would be a 16b or 16c. Here is how to determine the exact model.
Press the SYSTEM key and you'll see the SYSTEM CONFIG SLOT screen.
Look for slot 00 xxXX: 40 . Let me know what XX is.

Thank you. As long as I came to the shop I'll forward you this info !

So, if it's a 16 b/c is not focas compatible via eth?
