MEMORY CARD INTERFACE
Data I/O internal to the CNC can be performed for maintenance through
the memory card interface in the control unit. This appendix F describes
the memory card interface for data input/output.
1.Overview
The flash ATA card incorporates a storage device and controller, it
enables data input/output for a personal computer equipped with a
PCMCIA interface without using any special PC card writer.
2.Flash ATA card specification
The Flash ATA card must comply with the following standards and
must be of one of the following types. However, it is not guaranteed
that all ATA cards that comply with these standards will operate
normally in the CNC. See Table F for those ATA cards whose normal
operation has been confirmed by FANUC.
2–1 Card standards
The ATA card to be used in the CNC must comply with PCMCIA
(Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) PC
Card standard Release 2.1 and PCMCIA PC Card ATA Release
1.02.
2–2 Card Shapes
PCMCIA Type I and Type II
2–3 Card Operation Mode
PC–ATA specification
2–4 Card Operating Voltage
ATA cards that can operate on 5 V (single voltage power source)
and 5 V/3.3 V (automatic switching) can be used in the CNC.
