Well its my turn to ask for help,
I am getting ready to go through a Daewoo Puma 12L lathe with a Fanuc 10TF FAPT control I picked up last year. I'm not quite ready to get started but I wanted to back up the parameters just so I don't lose them. Power up the control, learn the hard way that the hydraulics fire up with the control and NOT any sort of "Ready" button like other machines I own. (Turret isn't even on the machine right now)
Spend about an hour cleaning the mess...
...bypass that contactor coil,
Power it up again, hook up serial cable, take some photos of the FAPT side system parameters in case anything goes wrong, try to get into the NC side parameters, get "No option" on the screen no matter how I try to trick the only two softkeys I have to choose from... and then, keys stop responding.
No problem, just reboot.
Blank screen. Open Fanuc NC control cabinet in the back, it's giving me a 9 on the main board which doesn't even jive with any code I can find for that board. Give all the connectors a little wiggle... and she powers back up with a bunch of checks and...
check system label error
Great. Sure glad I tried backing this up. Great plan.
Anyone have one of these they can punch all the parameters/keep relays etc from? Even just a scan of the sheet that came with the machine? This machine lost its documentation a while ago and with the exception of the parameters I wasn't too worried since I've owned a variety of Fanuc controlled machines before, both older and newer (but not a 10). Having said that I sure would like to get a copy of any documentation that is for this machine as well if anyone has it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a hand on this one. My first instinct was to ignite it and watch it burn, but I'm feeling a little less impulsive now. Although the iron is in good shape on this machine I already have some other giant CNC projects on the go and I can't justify retrofitting this, either the Fanuc smartens up or she's gone.
