2.4.2 FROM data to be saved (Panel i)
In the FROM area, the application programs shall be saved. This is at least the PMC Ladder
program.
However, if Macro Executor or C-Executor programs are used, also these shall be saved, because
these are CNC station specific and created by the machine tool builder. The boot system identifies
a file in the FROM by the first characters of the ID in the header. Attached table shows file names
of the boot menu and their contents of a standard controller used for Automotive applications:
File name Contents File type/Comment
NC Basic Basic Software System Software
NC 2BSIC Basic Software System Software
NC 3BSIC Basic Software System Software
NC1 OPTN-NC4OPTN Optional System Software System Software
PS0B406J-PS2B406J PMC-SD7 System Software System Software
DGB0SRVO Servo Software System Software
MINFO Electronic Data Sheet Should not be
replaced/Unique for CNC Unit
PBDM Profibus Master Software System Software
COM0OPT1 Profibus Application Software System Software
MNT2SRVO Dual Check Safety Monitor S/W System Software
ETH2 EMB Embedded Ethernet Software System Software
ETHE Fast Ethernet Software System Software
FLNT FL-Net Firmware System Software
IO2 OPT1 FL-Net Setting Software System Software
PMC-SB ication File – shall be
saved
PMC Ladder File (SD7 or SB7) Appl
CEX… C-Executor File Application File – shall be
saved
PD…. Macro Executor Application File – shall be
saved
Table 5: FROM Data
It is dependent on the CNC-Unit, which system files are stored in the FROM.
I.e., for those station, which do not have Profibus Board applied, the Profibus Software is missing.
When neither C-Executor files nor Macro-Executor files are applied, at least the PMC Ladder File
shall be saved. CNC Units are equipped with the System Software by FANUC at the date of
manufacturing. From this point of view, the system software needs not to be saved on a regular
basis.
