2.6.1 Usage of PMC Message Multi-Language Display Function
To utilize the PMC message multi-language display function, you need
to prepare the data files with FANUC LADDER-III and store them into
CNC as described below:
Step 1 At first, prepare a ladder program. The message data in the
ladder program must have alarm numbers associated.
Step 2 Prepare a mnemonic file of multi-language message data. The
mnemonic file is a text file, and can be created and edited by
some text editor application on PC. The alarm numbers in the
mnemonic file must correspond with the alarm numbers in the
message data of the ladder program.
Step 3 Make the memory card format file of the ladder program by
compile process on FANUC LADDER-III as usual.
Step 4 Make the memory card format file of the multi-language
message data using “Multi-language PMC Message Creation
Tool” included in FANUC LADDER-III which supports this
function.
Step 5 Store these memory card format files created in step 3 and 4.
You can use Boot Menu to store them directly into Flash ROM,
or you can use PMC I/O screen to read them into the memory,
and then write them into Flash ROM.
You can store two or more language sets of messages into a multi-
language message data file. And you can prepare two or more multi-
language message data files to enable switching the available language
of the messages by altering the message file in CNC afterwards.
NOTE
1 Message data for multi-language display cannot
be created, browsed, or edited on the CNC
screen. To create or edit the message data,
FANUC LADDER-III is required.
2 If the ladder program uses the extended symbol
and comment feature, you can use symbols in
multi-language message data instead of “A”
address notation. Otherwise, you have to use “A”
address notation only.
