fanuc 15m program overwrite parameter

[jlong58]

I am running a fanuc 15m controller on a Toyoda FA550 machine. I am loading programs through the RS232 port using Gibbscam software. Each time I re-process a program in Gibbs, it assigns it the same program number, and unless I delete the program in the fanuc memory before I send the program I always get the alarm: already exists. On the other fanuc controllers that I run there is a parameter that can be set to automatically overwrite the program. I assume it is the same with this controller. Can anyone tell me what I need to reset to correct this?

Looks like parameter 2200 bit#1 (2nd bit from right) need to be set to 1. It will override the existing program with new one.

Thanks so much. I will try it when I get to work today.

Is there a similar overwrite parameter for the 180i control? I am doing the exact same thing with our machine, and I have to delete all of the subprograms every time I send a new program to the control.

It should be parameter 3201.2
