PMC-L for 0-A: anyone have a disk for a pgmate?

[tc429]

Ive got a pg mate, about all the software except for the pmc-l on the 0-A controls...unfortunately the 0-C data disk was 'saved' on the original pgmate pmc-l disk, so I dont think I can just load the 0-A data disk...need a pmc-l and 0-A data on separate disks, or just one saved for the A control...

nothing urgent, just would like to be able to do As on the mate- right now the only option is using the PG MARKII (have both versions for it- different software for the Mate is required though...)

just wondered if someone might be willing to let me borrow their 0-A/PGMate disk for a bit

The 0-A, B, C, D all used the same FAPT Ladder software as well as the FAPT Data software (PMC-L, PMC-M, PMC-M with MMC). FANUC did update them over time to include support for new features such as symbolic ladder edit on the PG Mate and support for I/O Link, etc.

So, if you have a combined FAPT Ladder + PMC-M diskette, you could load that up and simply go to R3 prompt and load in the PMC-L Data disk over the top. The PMC-L will displace the PMC-M data. To confirm, you can go to the EDIT screen and scroll through the R0 pages and you'll see that it did load up the PMC-L software.

You can then save out a new combined FAPT Ladder + PMC-L to a blank disk, if you like.

pmc-l for 0-c wont do pmc-l for 0-a...2764 vs 27256 roms...is there another parameter or something I missed? havent really used the mate all that much- its small, but slower than the MarkII...thanks for the info!

It is true that the 0-A PMC-L uses 2764 and the 0-B/C/D use 27256 EPROMs. The programmer knows what to do when you enter the location code of the EPROM you are reading/writing. The programmer uses your specified location code of the EPROM chip to determine the size of EPROM. 011 or 012 means 2764 for PMC-L (0-A). 0E1 or 0E2 calls up 27256 for PMC-L (0-B/C/D). 0F1 or 0F2 is used for PMC-M.

DOH!!!

seriously- thankyou! Made my day- since i'm asking stupid questions, please tell me the original FLADDER for IBM works the same way... Ive been lugging that 'portable' 65 pound P-G MarkII around occasionally for a decade too long if thats the case...now I feel even more stupid than usual

when we bought the original FLADDER for IBM, we got the disk/license documentation, but that was it...the books were backordered, never thought about it till now- we never did get the paper books, never read up on it...decent software dont require much manual time I guess, and as it worked just like the P-G, never looked at it... I'm pretty sure theres PDFs of the book on a old infolink disk or something...thanks again

The IBM Fladder does not work the same way as the old PG based software.


FANUC only said that the IBM worked with 0-C/D but you can still use it with 0-B. Unfortunately, it will not support the 0-A.

Here's additional information to correct an earlier post on loading PMC Data diskette into a PG Mate/Mark II.

You can still overload any of the 3 Data diskettes even if you have initially loaded up a combined Ladder/Data diskette.

When loading a Data diskette, you need to use the correct Data diskette and you also have to specify an 'operating system' to designate the type of CNC.

Data diskettes:
===========
PMC-L
PMC-M
PMC-M (MMC only)


'Operating System' Selection:
======================
At the R3 prompt, you insert the data diskette from the above list and select one of the following:

Request> PMC/OS (used for 0-A)
Request> PMC/OS2 (used for 0-A with extended functions but give up 500 ladder steps)
Request> PMC/OS3 (used for 0-B/C/D)
Request> PMC/OS4 (used for 0-C with PMC-M that uses IO Link)

i have a copy, but how can i send you?

[ker2008]

can you send me ?

i can help you to convert it , if you EPROM-1 and EPROM-2 are 27C256 .
i can convert it to *.#ex , then you can use fladder0 to discompile .

my e-mail : kele225 @ 163.com

i have it, if you need it i can send you. I dont want to pay you a 400 dolars
i need a emulator for pg, or convert fanuc #ex for 0a 2464 eproms.
Because my pgmate is broken

Hi from france
must copy a 3,5 '' system disk on a PG MARK II
i must use R3 key
and use the "SAVE" command but
i don't know how to format the disk

Many thank for your reply

Regards

PS : i'm also serching for a fapt doctor
