    There were multiple versions of the B12. You should state which generation you have and inch or metric. Which control?

    Thank you for responding. Its a 1995 machine, with Fanuc 18B series.

    As for metric or inch, I think it can change unit in its setting.

    Any help would be appreciated, even if the PMC code is not for this particular version, it could help us by giving us ideas for writing the ladder code for it.

    best

    You didn't loose your ladder. You lost the option bit that states which PMC you have so It won't get displayed till you recover the option parameters. Call Fanuc and see if they have record of that machine. You are going to need the control serial number and if Fanuc has ever worked on that machine and by chance made a backup of that control they may have the backup.

    Thank you for your comment. Are you sure the PMC won't be deleted? We have tried the memory reset, which is through Ctrl + Del + Reset at startup. I was under the impression that it totally erases the parameters and tge ladder.
