2. INSTALLATION
(Note 3) In addition, an area for storing sequence program data is required.
(Note 4) To use the Epson VP1000 with an NEC PC9801, a program modification is required.
For details, see Section 1.2 in Part II.
2.1.1 PC9801 operating environment
(1) CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT
When starting MS-DOS, the user needs to install the following device drivers:
l
RSDRV.SYS
l
PRINT.SYS
Add the lines indicated below to CONFIG.SYS.
RSDRV.SYS and PRINT.SYS are assumed to be under the directory named gS DEV on drive A.
DEVICE=A:$(DEVyRSDRV.SYS
DEVICE=A:yDEV'1CPRINT,SYS
(Note) When you are using a memory card adapter, set CONFIG.SYS referring to the
operator’s manual for the memory card adapter.
(2) Using the expanded memory
The expanded memory specification (EMSXMS) memory can be used with the system as a
work area for a sequence program. EMSXMS memory allows a larger sequence program to
be used. (An EMS memory size of 256K bytes or more allows 24000 or more steps to be
edited.)
If EMSXMS memory is not used, a sequence program of up to about 21840 steps can be
handled when the main memory has a free area of 570K bytes.
Ladder diagram editing cannot output drawings if a free area sufficient for 16000 steps cannot
be allocated in main memory due to the space taken up by resident device drivers. In this
case, EMS memory is required.
FANUC has confirmed that the setting described below ensures normal operation.
MS-DOS Version 3.38 (for the PC-9801 Series)
Machine with a 80386:80386SX CPU
Specify the statement below as the first DEVICE statement of the CONFIG.SYS file. Each
device driver is assumed to be under the directory named DEV on drive A.
(Note)
When an EMS board and EMS device driver are used, change the CONFIGSYS file
according to the manufacture’s manual.
