I've got a Hitachi Seiki with a 16m seicos controller that I would like to use M198 to call programs off of a card.
It does have a data server, but the data server can only receive programs via ethernet, or the fanuc memory. I do not want to put the machine on a network, and because the fanuc memory is so small I would have to break my longer programs into multiples in order to store them on the data server, which I also do not want to deal with.
Currently I can call programs with M198 off the data server, but I have not been successful in using M198 to call a program off the card. I am getting an alarm that says the "program cannot be found" and I believe this is because when I call M198 it is defaulting to pulling the program off the data server, and not the card.
I do not have a parameter manual for this machine unfortunately.
I have set the following parameters:
138 bit 7 is 1
I/O channel is 4
3404 Bit 2 is 1
3030 equals 3
6030 set to 198
I have verified that the cards I am using do work as I can download smaller programs onto the machine memory.
I assume there is a parameter that forces M198 to pull off a card instead of the data server?
