Looking for 27C64 Ladder chips Fanuc 0-A or B

[Shoprag]

I'm looking to lay my hands on some ladder logic chips from a dead machine. I need to verify that my PC Writer from Fanuc will read, decode and burn new chips. The problem is that I don't have any chips to experiment with.

The chips will have a part number silk screened onto them something like
27C64-15. These were used on the old Fanuc 0 models A and B controls. The later model B and C controls used 27C256 chips. I have these.

If I can get this to work, I plan to modify some ladders on a few grinders. I don't want to experiment on the only good chips I have.

Thanks for the info. I was trying to find some old chips that had already been programmed. It looks like my best bet is to program some new ones.

I probably have old programmed and new ones.
How many?

I just need one set to see if the PC Writer I have will work with the 27C64 chips. I have one set but when I try to decompile them I get a ROM parity error. I'm not sure if the problem is with the chips or the PC Writer I'm using. I can work with the 27C256 chips without a problem.

I tried burning some blank chips but couldn't get these to work. It may be that the PC writer doesn't support the older chips. I noticed that the 256 LED comes on when I try to work with the 64 chips. I may be doing something wrong.

What are you using to communicate to the PMC writer with? The old series 0-MA / 0-MB can not be done on a laptop. You need a Fanuc PG Mate.

That could be the problem. I have been using a laptop for several years to modify the ladder on 0-C controls. This is my first shot at doing a 0-A control. I haven't seen a P-G Mate in many years.

It looks like I may need to find another way to activate an M-code.

I have a PG Mate emulator. It runs on XP. But I think you have to use a special EProm Reader/Writer NOT the Fanuc PMC writer. I have never used it but I can send you a copy. It is 3.25 MEG Zip file. It was designed just for what you are trying to do and it's free. Do you want a copy?

Mr. drdos I would be interested to the PG mate emulator you could send me a copy?

thanks

Wow this PG Emulator is really getting popular. I have the web site that also has other things of interest too. Please check out all of dnc
Hope this helps.

Hello, did you have any luck with the PMC emulator from drdos for the 0MA? Thx.
