B-63945EN/02 APPENDIX F.MAINTENANCE OF OPEN CNC (BOOT-UP AND IPL)
- 749 -
F.1 OVERVIEW
When the Series 300i/310i/320i/300is/310is/320is is used or the CNC
is connected to the PC over HSSB, Ncboot32.exe can be used for the
maintenance of the CNC.
NOTE
When the CNC is connected to the PC over
Ethernet, use the standard LCD/MDI for the
maintenance of the CNC.
Unless otherwise specified, the following examples assume the use of
Ncboot32.exe of the Windows 2000/XP version.
Ncboot32.exe provides the following functions:
- BOOT screen (for CNC system data maintenance, SRAM backup,
and so forth)
- IPL screen (for clearing SRAM, and so forth)
- Display of the CNC power-on screen
- Display of CNC alarm screen
- Re-connection in case of the occurrence of a communication
error
- Start of a registered application program
- Saving and restoration of auto backup data (for the Series 300is
only)
For Windows 2000/XP, Ncboot32.exe is copied to the System 32
folder of Windows during driver installation.
For Windows CE.NET (Series 300is/310is/320is), it has been installed
in the Storage Card\FANUC folder.
At the start of Windows, Ncboot32.exe starts automatically, and
resides in the system tray.

Supplementary 1: Multi-connection (Windows 2000/XP only)
Ncboot32.exe supports HSSB multi-connection. The CNCs connected
by HSSB are managed as nodes. The boot, IPL, and system alarm
screens are displayed in windows that are opened independently for
each node.
Supplementary 2: Termination method
Normally, Ncboot32.exe need not be terminated. If you need to
terminate it, however, see the "System tray" explanation, below:
Display the popup menu and select "End".
When the Ncboot32.exe window is open, End cannot be selected.
