    Fanuc controls have a PWE bit (parameter write enable) which must be set to '1' before other parameters can be changed.

    Not sure what location the Fanuc 21 TA uses, but it should be listed in your user manual.

    Make sure that the bit is reset to '0' after the changes have been made.

    PWE screen should be obtained by pressing the offset/settings key on the controller (it may take a couple of time when pressing the offset/settings key) to change this to write enable you must have your mode select switch to MDI from there you can change the parameter you want while you are still in MDI mode when you are done changing the parameter you needed to change don't forget to change the write enable back to write disable still being in the MDI mode selection , hope this helps!

    Some parameters changes do not take effect until the control is powered down then powered up again.

    Are you sure that the parameter is unchanged when you power up?
