0TC parameter for more memory?

[jani]

Hello.

I heard once that chancing one bit on parameters gives more memory to fanuc control. Does anyone know more about that option?

AFAIK this requires additional ROM chips to acquire, as well as the option.

Check parameter 901 bit 1 = 120m. bit 2=80m. bit3 = 40m. bit 4=20m.
If you do require additional hardware memory, look up Tulip, they make memory add-ons for Fanuc.

Requires extra RAM chips. If you turn on the option bit for more memory than control has chips - you will get a 910/911 RAM memory alarm and will have to dump all memory - not pretty.

There's now 20m memory. I remember that he said that he know how to double up memory size by chancing one bit. So propably there's 40m memory installed on board.

I think my Fanuc had 20M when I got it - I now have 80M just by changing the parameter, you're likely to loose any progs on the control & while you're at it backing up the parameters wouldn't be a bad idea... oh the 900 ones don't get backed up so out with pen & paper...

do a search for fanuc memory on ebay there's a guy in canada doing a memory upgrade to 320M for 250usd.

There is a way to output the 900 par. I will have to check my notes Monday.
The Canadian reference is I think the one I mentioned in post #3, Company called Tulip.

When punching out parameters press EOB and output start, this will send out the 900's also. Check out www.memex.ca thats who I use for memory upgrades.

I can sell you the stuff need for upgrading to 320M for $250 also

I just did this upgrade today-original machine had 4k upgraded to 80m (16k)
This requires no hardware, only above 80 requires additional chip's.

Cost from Fanuc $297.00 they email you a couple of file's (like the old EZ opt) and you follow the read-me file and down-load to the serial port

I have a OT and a 6M-b how do I make sure I have all my parameters backed up for each. Thank you , Drew

0T Set up your PC to save, Go to EDIT mode press the dgnos/param, parameters and then output/start key
If you want to output the 900 parameters also, press and hold the EOB key when pressing output/start.
On the 6T mode to EDIT -9999 then output (punch).
