Fanuc OM - Kia Help

[charger19690]

So I posted about hooking up an indexer on my machine trying to find an output M code and the MFin signal.

Here is the deal. Bought an 1989 Kia KV40A with a Fanuc OM Control from an auction.

Got a stack of books with the machine, Fanuc Operators Manual, Electrical Diagrams, parts list, etc.

Well, here is the sucky part. The electrical diagram says OMC. I have a Fanuc OMC control. Nope, the Fanuc Operators Manual is an OMB, model tag on the machine is KV40A-OMB. Ooops, throughout the years, the electrical diagram must have gotten swapped with a different machine that was a OMC.

So I have an OMB control with no literature for the electronics.

Calling around to a current Hyndai Kia dealer, says they don't have literature on the machine, but if I can find the electrical diagram for this control they would freely give me direction how to hook up my indexer.

Called a dealer that used to sell Kia back in the day and another one that services them, no luck.

Called an independent CNC repair guy I know, he has no leads on an OMB control. Just OMC stuff.

FYI, the OMC electrical diagram doesn't match in a lot of areas.

So the end result is if I can find someone with a Kia KV40A-OMB that would be willing to share their electrical diagrams, I can get this ball rolling or...

I was asked by 2 of the service people if I can view the Ladder on the control. I said "Nope". They said I should ask around and see if it's something that can be turned on by a parameter.

Does anyone know anything about this control?

Should I try calling Fanuc, can they give any direction?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The parameter is bit #2 of P0060 xxxxx1xx.
But I don't believe it can only be done on the 0C.

Well no go on Parameter 60 bit 2. Talked to Fanuc today, they gave the same reference but he wasn't sure it would work either. It didn't.

On a turn of events, finally called in circles and ended up contacting Hyundia Wia via email. They promptly responded saying I could order the electrical diagram via my local reseller.

Called them "back" told them what the imported said and they are investigating, should hear something Monday if the Diagram can be purchased from the manufacturer.

it is not possible to see the ladder in controls 0A and 0B.
Some of the guys who retrofit the FANUC controls can download the ladder and give you a copy.

Thats the problem, I am 3 hours away from the nearest guy that would read my chip.. They charge drive time both ways plus onsite..

Still investigating.

In the mean time, just wire a push button or limit switch in a small box and mount it to your table. Come over and push it with the tool. Not ideal, but it does work.
