FANUC System PC program conversion

All know: FANUC control system for a lot of models, PLC types more. Different types of systems may have to configure different types of PC, the same type of system may also be configured for different types of PC. In this way, for the FANUC control system has long been engaged in the application of people, how to realize under the DOS version of the same ladder in different PC types of conversion, how to realize under the Windows version of the same ladder in different PC types of conversion, how to realize a different PC development environment prepared ladder (DOS version / Windows version) has become really important for the conversion, only a very good solution to these problems, old and new systems in order to shorten the replacement cycle of the application in order to promote the new system FANUC promotion and use. The above are three kinds of conversion through the use of FANUC "FAPT LADDER_ Ⅲ" software programming, the programming software operating environment is Windows.

In order to facilitate the introduction and understanding of, first the definition of several terms: the current ladder - the existing ladder; current PC types - existing ladder diagram of the PC types; target ladder - wishing to change the ladder diagram can be generated; target PC types - hope that after the conversion of the PC can generate the type of ladder; DOS version of the ladder - in the DOS version of software tools prepared under the ladder; Windows version of the ladder - in the Windows version of software tools prepared under trapezoidal map; between documents - in the ladder generated by the conversion process a document, also known as Mnemonic document.

1 DOS version of the ladder with the Windows version of the ladder between the conversion

   1.1DOS version of the ladder into a Windows version of the ladder

   (1) run FANUC "FAPT LADDER_ Ⅲ" programming software.

   (2) Select Toolbar [Tool] in the data conversion of [Data Conversion].

   (3) in the drop-down menu, select [Data File → LAD File] item, it shows [Conversion into LAD Format File] page. Among them, the program name (Program Name) field select the current DOS version of the ladder, and with ladder storage path, by [File] select.

   DOS version of the ladder file in general different from the file name plus the extension of the composition, a total of 10 documents. For example: If the ladder called the KT13, the KT13 of Ladder 10 from the following files: KT13. # C1, KT13. # C2, KT13. # TA, KT13. # CN, KT13. # EX, KT13. # IO , KT13. # LA, KT13. # ME, KT13. # PA, KT13. # SY. The current DOS version of the ladder were 10 for the above-mentioned document any. LAD type document (LAD Format File) column to be a new target Windows version of the ladder (or folder), including Ladder Diagram (or folder) storage path.

   (4) the completion of the above options, click [OK] to confirm, and then there appears the choice of procedure (Program Select) page option, click the [OK], and finally prompted [Succeed Change Data], marks the success of data conversion, click [OK ] can be.

This will complete the DOS version of the ladder to the Windows version of the ladder diagram of the conversion, the "target Windows version of the ladder name" is the conversion of the Windows version of Ladder Diagram Generation.

   1.2Windows version of the ladder diagram is converted to DOS version of the ladder.

   (1) run FANUC "FAPT LADDER_ Ⅲ" programming software.

   (2) Select Toolbar [Tool] in the data conversion of [Data Conversion].

   (3) in the drop-down menu, select [Data File ← LAD File] item, it shows [Conversion into Program Data File] page. Which, LAD-type documents (LAD Format File) column must select the current Windows version of the ladder, and with ladder storage path, by [File] select. Name (Program Name) field goal to be the new DOS version of the ladder, and with ladder storage path. Program format (Program Format) column select Format A or C. If they choose to Format A, is generated by the 10 documents consisting of DOS version of Ladder Diagram; if you choose Format C, are generated folder ladder forms of DOS version.

   (4) the completion of the above options, click [OK] to confirm, after the prompt [Succeed Change Data], marks the success of data conversion, click [OK] you.

This will complete the Windows version of the ladder to the DOS version of the ladder diagram of the conversion, the "target DOS version of the ladder name" is the conversion of the DOS version of Ladder Diagram Generation.

   2   Windows version of PC under the same ladder of different types of conversion between

   (1) run FANUC "FAPT LADDER_ Ⅲ" programming software.

   (2) Click [File] field, select [Open Program] key, to open a PC want to change the Windows version of the type of ladder documents.

   (3) Select Toolbar [Tool] Mnemonic of the conversion of [Mnemonic Convert], showed [Mnemonic Conversion] page. Among them, the Mnemonic document (Mnemonic File) column to be between the new file name, including file storage path. Conversion of data types (Convert Data Kind) need to choose to convert the column data, but generally they ALL.

   (4) the completion of the above options, click [OK] to confirm and then display the data conversion information, no other error information after the turn off this page, and then turn off [Mnemonic Conversion] page.
   (5) Click [File] field, select [New Program] key, create a new Windows version of the target ladder, at the same time targeting Windows version of the PC type of ladder.

   (6) Select Toolbar [Tool] in the conversion of source code [Source Program Convert], showed [Source Program Conversion] page. Of these, between documents (Mnemonic File) column just need to choose between the generated file name, including file storage path.

   (7) completion of the above options, click [OK] to confirm and then display the data conversion information, "All the content of the source program is going to be lost. Do you replace it?", Click [Yes] to confirm, no error after turn off this information page, and then turn off [Source Program Conversion] page. This will complete the Windows version under the same ladder of different types of conversion between PC, such as Ladder Diagram KT13.LAD of PMC_SA1 converted to PMC_SA3 of MM.LAD ladder, and after conversion of MM.LAD ladder and KT13 . LAD same ladder logic.

   3   DOS version of PC under the same ladder of different types of conversion between

This conversion can be divided into three steps: (1) The first DOS version of the ladder into the next Windows version under the ladder. (2) In the Windows version under the same ladder between different types of PC conversion. (3) Finally, the PC has completed the conversion of the Windows version of the type of ladder and then converted to the ladder under the DOS version.

This will complete the DOS version of PC under the same ladder of different types of conversion between.

   4   PC program to follow the principle of conversion

   (1) high-low version PC version to PC conversion; (2) functional command of the PC to function less directive and more PC conversion. Instead, you may convert error.

   FANUC "FAPT LADDER_ Ⅲ" programming software can be prepared a lot of PC types and can meet FANUC16/18/160/180/21/16i/18i/21i/0i such as the PC control system programming, debugging use. PC conversion process for the PC design, laid the foundation for the rapid reorganization
