Battery alarm

[hoosierdaddyno1]

What problem may arise. If the battery alarm for the control comes on and is ignored? Coin size battery im guessing .

Memory loss , parameters , just wondering, if anything?

oh, and where is it located.

Not sure Fanuc guy until 1 year ago

If your battery goes dead and the power is turned off, you COULD lose everything including system software.

Much of what is lost will depend on which control you have. New PC controls will lose nothing except the current time/date like a PC. Older controls like the 7000 can lose it all if left off long enough.

You never said which one you have, but I'm guessing it's a 7000 series since you are getting the battery alarm about now. I replaced one on our 700L - U recently. You will need a disk to reset the battery alarm. Batteries are available online, through batteries plus or through your distributor. The disk can be obtained through your distributor. (usually for free)

Refer to this thread for some more info:

The control is a osp100 not sure about 7000 series you are talking about .
Like I said I'm new with theses controls with their own windows operating in background.

The machine is l470 captain live tooling.

Do you mean P100, U100 or E100? They're all OSP controls...With windows would imply P100 or P200. Battery failure on these would typically cause clock failure only.

p100 with windows is it. Thanks Qkumawiz
