L. MIGRATION OF LADDER PROGRAMS
BETWEEN DIFFERENT MODELS

APPENDIX

If you previously used the Series 15–B PMC–NB/NB2, you must convert
from the PMC–NB/NB2 to the PMC–NB6. The conversion procedure is
as described below.
(1)Model change from the PMC–NB/NB2 to the PMC–NB6 (source
programs)
When changing the model from the PMC–NB/NB2 to the NB6, you
must convert the source programs for one PMC model to those for the
other using FANUC LADDER–II. Conversion is possible using the
procedure described in the following manual:
Appendix 3.3, “Converting Sequence Programs for One PMC
Model to Those for the Other” in the “FANUC LADDER–II
Operator’s Manual” (B–66184EN)
The mnemonic file format for the PMC–NB6 system parameters used
for model conversion is as follows:
%@0
2 BCD
3 NO
4 PMC–NB6
7 100 7. Ladder execution time (100%)
2. Counter data type (BINARY or BCD)
3. Whether the operator panel exists
(exits: YES, does not exist: NO)
4. PMC type (PMC–NB6)
The specification changes in the NB6, described in Section I.1.2,
“Overview of the Ladder Specifications,” must be dealt with
separately.
(2)When using FANUC LADDER
When creating Ladder programs for the PMC–NB6 using FANUC
LADDER, specify use of the PMC–NB2. When PMC–NB2 is
specified, however, the following restrictions are imposed:
a) Do not use the functions supported by the PMC–NB6. (See
Section I.1.2, “Overview of the Ladder Specifications” for details.)
b) Do not use sequence programs with C programs linked.
(3)If using sequence programs located on the FANUC Series 15–B
a) If using sequence programs for the PMC–NB2 that are located on
the Series 15–B in the Series 15i, the same restrictions as those
described in (2) are imposed. Provided that these restrictions are
observed, programs for the PMC–NB2 can be output to a memory
card (by specifying “LADDER” for DATA KIND on the I/O
screen) and directly loaded into the Series 15i.
b) Sequence programs for the PMC–NB that are located on the Series
15–B cannot be used in the Series 15i, without first being
converted. They must be converted into programs for the
PMC–NB6 with the model change procedure using FANUC
LADDER–II, described in (1).
