Hieveryone!
We have an older Fanuc Robot Controller R-J3iB. I'm trying to access the files through the PCMCIA->CF and it seems like it doesn't want to work. I am getting a message "MC Card Inserted", however during SET DEVICE -> MC i'm getting a "Device not formatted error". I tried formatting it through the controller, but it wont let me select MC to format.
Details:
-Card size 128mb and 256 mb (i have two cards)
I have a 32MB, a 64MB and a 256MB that I currently use for R-J3 and up. The 256MB works great in R-J3iB. What I have noticed over the years is a memory card will eventually fail. It usually starts with errors similar to the ones you had. At first, I can reformat the card in another controller and get it to work for a while but eventually it gets worse and I just replace it. I always have spares with me because of this. I also format new cards in a controller before using them.
You're right Skooter, however here it wasn't the case. I've tried multiple cards that have worked with other R-J3iB. I'm led to believe that this particular controller is not really standard. I've also looked into R-J3iB variables and some of them don't really match with present on this one
Good to know, as the 'my biggest bug' is when you arrive at a customer site, and have to have such a wide variety of backup mediums to cope with older systems and spend lots of time 'trying' to find/hope one that works.
Kawasaki older systems suffer horribly from CF card incompatibility regarding OEM and memory sizes and I have found that with older controllers, it was down to the drivers and memory sizes available at the time of release.
Shut the control off like normal. Pres the two right soft keys (the far right being the right arrow soft key). WHil holding those two buttons, power the control up. You'll see it partially go through boot up. Keep holding until you see a menu. NOw eiother use the arrow buttons, to go down to a selection where you might see SRAM in the selection. If you don;t see that, it's usually one of the last selections. Enter that menu. You shoudl see a Card FOrmat Option in there. If you don;t see it there, selecet end and it will back up to the main menu. Look through the other menus until you find it. Whatever you do, DO NOT try to load anything, and I mean ANYTHING form the card into the machine. Once you're done, select end from the main menu. THe machien shoudl boot up as normal now. Do this at your own risk. I am responsible for nothing.
Jeff, I reccenntly went through a tonne of probs with card read errors. Followed all CNC Appsguy's steps to the T and still nothing. I finally figured out the problem. I could insert the CF into my computer I could see what is on the card I could edit open close and save but when I went to the control nothing. Now if I loaded the program from my laptop no problems. For some reason my control didnt like programs that were loaded from my desktop but that same program copied and pasted to a usb then copy and pasted from my laptop to my CF I have chips hitting the floor. Try loading your CF from a different CF reader. This is a bit of a shot in the dark but after pulling my hair out for about a week I finally tried this and voila it worked.
Whatever happened with this ? Just curious as I had a similar experience and went through all the formatting including App Guy's controller formatting and nothing worked. I ended up relacing the card reader at the controller. I wouldn't think that would be your case on 2 different machines though.
A FANUC alarm code, also called a FANUC fault or error code, is how a CNC control indicates there is a problem. This error message could indicate issues with either the machine itself, be that electric or mechanical. The FANUC error code might also indicate an issue with the g-code program.
Use the list below to interpret what exactly the fault code is trying to communicate. If you require a replacement part, know that MRO Electric stocks thousands of FANUC CNC replacements.

Hi Running a series 180i-M , the machine halts with no error or alarm. ctrl+F2 or any other function key is impossible. The softkeys in fanuc software work with mouse. The problem resolve after some time but randomly. The rest of the computer functions work fine ( alt+tab, alt+F4, using other applications..)
any idea
I own a machine from Newwai
And after the operation, I discovered the following
When I am inside a program and finished it and I want to go to another program
I do not find that the entry button for another activated program must be filled with the machine in order to do that
And the button dedicated to the barbarism of the bar is an act of an act
I have a Miyano mill with an O-M fanuc controller. I get an overtravel in the +Z error. It appears that the error is when the tool change carousel does not stop in the correct position. There are 2 magnetic limit switches that both have to be illuminated to show the controller that the tool change carousel is in the correct place. Sometimes only one switch is illuminated due to the cam rotating past one of the switches. Why would the tool changer sometimes overtravel in its revolution? The machine will run fine for an hour or so and then the error happens. We put a metal object in front the sensor that is not turned on and then step rotate the tool change carousel. This brings it back into proper alignment and the machine will run.
Any ideas what I need to do?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
I have a fanuc control SERIES O-TC TYP AO2B -OO98-B501
machine, Lathe and the machine belongs to the Jolly company
I have a problem that the batteries have expired, and when I opened the machine, it was found that the parameter was not present
When trying to download the parameter, the control panel to run the motors does not activate
I want a way to solve this problem
A memory card is a widely used storage medium in devices such as digital cameras, smartphones, and computers. There are several different types of memory cards, including standard SD cards, mini-SD cards, microSD cards, and so on.
There are various types of memory cards such as micro SD cards, SD cards, SDHC cards, SDXC cards, and so on. Not all of them are supported by the card reader on your computer. If you force or incorrectly insert a memory card, they might damage the memory card and/or the card reader.
If the memory card does not show in Windows File Explorer, assign a new drive letter to it manually. Windows may fail to assign a drive letter to the connected removable media or memory card that is already in use by another removable drive in Windows.
The /F parameter fixes any structural issues with the file system and directory, correcting inconsistencies between the two. The /R parameter tells CHKDSK to check the entire SD card for bad sectors and repair them if possible. The /X parameter dismounts the drive so that it can be checked and fixed.
Dell Technologies recommends updating the device drivers and BIOS as part of your scheduled update cycle. Device drivers and BIOS updates may contain feature enhancements or changes that help keep your system software current and compatible with other system modules (hardware and software) and can increase stability.
Many SD cards have a feature called write-protection, toggle switch on the left side of the card. With write-protection enabled, files cannot be modified on the SD card. If the write-protection is enabled, the card is not readable.
Some devices may format the SD card in a way that makes it only readable by that device and nothing else, including a computer. This will not only fix the SD card cannot read error but also make the storage media reusable.
