NOTE PMCPA3 is usable with the Power MateD/H. PMCSA1 is usable with the loader control function of the Series 21i. PMCSA3 is usable with the FANUC NC Board.

With the online function of the FAPT LADDERII or ladder editing package, the following can be performed using the personal computer: D Ladder monitor display D Online ladder editing D PMC parameter display and editing D Signal state monitor display and modifications D Input/output to and from the PMC (loading from the PMC, storing to the PMC) D Writing to flash ROM Before this online function can be used, communication conditions must be set in the PMC built into the CNC.

NOTE When the configuration disables the use of the ladder editing package, the FBUS item is not displayed. When the 9inch CRT is being used, two pages are used for screen display. Switch between the pages with the <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys.

8.5.2
Setting Method

1. For communication with FAPT LADDERII (1) Check that NOT USE is set for the RS232C item. (2) Set the CHANNEL and BAUD RATE parameters. (3) Move the cursor to the RS232C item with the and keys. (4) Select USE with the or key. 2. For communication with the ladder editing package (1) Move the cursor to the FBUS item with the and keys. (2) Select USE with the or key. This completes the setting for communication. The online function is operated from the FAPT LADDERII or ladder editing package. For details of operation, refer to the operators manual for the FAPT LADDERII or ladder editing package.

8.5.3
Setting on the NC Parameter Screen

When the NC (such as the Series 160i or 180i) does not support the display of the PMC screen, or if communication is to be started automatically at poweron without screen manipulation, select a communication destination with NC parameter No. 24. When the value of NC parameter No. 24 is changed, the PMC online monitor screen is set as indicated below.
NC parameter No. 24

NOTE With NC parameter No. 24, the PMC online monitor screen setting is changed when the power is turned on. After this parameter has been modified, the power must be turned off then back on for the new setting to become effective. When the setting of the online monitor screen is to remain unchanged, a value other than 0, 1, 2, and 255 must be set for this parameter.

Explanation of Communication Status

On the online monitor screen, a message is displayed to indicate the RS232C or FBUS communication status. The table below lists the displayed messages and their explanations.
Displayed message INACTIVE STOPPING STARTING STANDBY CONNECTED NO OPTION BAD PARAMETER TIMEOUT ERROR BCC ERROR PARITY ERROR OVERRUN ERROR SEQUENCE ERROR DATA ERROR QUEUE OVERFLOW DISCONNECTED NO CONNECTION The unit is inactive. The unit is being stopped. (Wait for the termination of communication) The unit is being started. (Wait for the termination of communication over another communication path) The unit is active and in standby mode. The unit is active and being connected. The file cannot be opened because the corresponding option is not provided. An invalid open parameter is specified. A timeout has occurred and communication is aborted. A BCC (packet parity) error has occurred. A parity error has occurred. A reception overrun has occurred, from which the unit cannot recover. Packets are out of sequence. (Incorrect procedure) Correct packets cannot be received through retransmission. The transmit/receive queue has overflowed. Communication has been terminated successfully. The cable is disconnected.
