C. BOOT SYSTEM
331
The boot system of first loads the CNC system software (flash RAM !
DRAM), then starts execution of the CNC software so that other software
can be executed.
The CNC boot system supports the following system maintenance
functions:
(1) Registering a file in flash memory
Reads a file to flash memory from an MS-DOS format memory card
conforming to JEIDA V4.1.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in flash memory
(3) Deleting a file from flash memory
(4) Batch saving of parameters, programs, and other files, powered by
battery (SRAM area), to a memory card and batch restoring of data
from the memory card
(5) Writing a file in flash memory to a memory card
(6) Formatting a memory card
(7) Deleting a file from a memory card
This manual describes the activation of the boot system, as well as the
operation and corresponding screen displays for the functions listed
above.
BOOT SYSTEM is automatically started when the CNC is powered on.
It then loads and starts the CNC system software. The user, therefore, can
usually ignore the operation of BOOT SYSTEM. When maintenance is
carried out or if flash memory does not contain a required file, however,
the boot system must be controlled from an on-screen menu.
(1) During system maintenance, for example, when a file in flash
memory is to be replaced
Operation: Turn the power on by simultaneously pressing the two
soft keys at the right end.
Hold down the two keys until the boot system screen appears.
(2) If flash memory does not contain a file required to start the CNC
If the file required to start the CNC (NC BASIC) is not found in flash
memory, or if that file is damaged, the BOOT SYSTEM menu is
automatically displayed when the CNC is powered on.
