CAUTION

1 This control unit supports the use of a Memory card as an input/output device.

The Flash ATA card is available:

See the order list for details of the supported Memory card types.

2 On a Memory card, only those files that are in the root directory can be accessed

for display, reading, and writing. Those in subdirectories cannot be used.

3 The time required to read or write each data item varies depending on the

Memory card type, the status of use, and other factors.

4 For flash ATA cards, only those recommended by FANUC are available.

5 When formatting a flash ATA card, use the quick formatting method, which

clears the file allocation table and the directory information on the root directory.

An unformatted flash ATA card needs to be formatted in FAT16 with a PC or the

like. (A FAT32-formatted ATA card cannot be recognized.)

NOTE

External I/O devices can handle file names of up to 12 characters each.

For 8.4-inch display unit, press the continuous menu key

Press the soft key [F OUTPUT]. The soft key display switches from the one in Fig. 8.1 (b) to the one

in Fig. 8.1 (c).

If all parameters are to be output, press the soft key [ALL]. If only the parameters with nonzero

values are to be output, press the soft key [NON-0]. The soft key displays change from those

displayed in Fig. 8.1 (c) to those displayed in Fig. 8.1 (d).

Press the soft key [EXEC]. Because no file name is specified, the file is output with a file name of

CNC-PARA.TXT, but if a file with the same name exists on the memory card, the soft key display

switches from the one in Fig. 8.1 (d) to the one in Fig. 8.1 (e), with a confirmation message

appearing.

If a file with the same name does not exist on the memory card, the file is output directly.

Pressing the soft key [REWRITE] causes the file to be overwritten.

Pressing the soft key [CAN] causes output to be canceled. If wishing to output the file after changing

the file name, specify a file name after step 6, and perform step 7 again.

CAUTION

If a file to be overwritten has the read-only attribute, the warning message

"OVER WRITE FAILED" appears to cancel output even when the soft key

[REWRITE] is pressed for that file.

If a memory card is pulled out or inserted while a message for confirming

overwriting is displayed, it is likely that the write operation may fail and, at worst,

files on the memory card may be broken.
