I have a Hitachi Seiki with a 3T control with a Micon8 controller that takes care of tool changes, tail stock, etc. Last year the Micon lost everything when a battery cell went dead. Luckily the paper work that came with the machine had a hard copy of the parameters and after a hour of button pushing it was back up and running.
Now the paranoia has set in and what if I get a bad cell on the battery backup on the Fanuc side?
I have brought up the parameter list on the screen and captured it with a camera and saved to disk.
The vital question is, are there any other places that need to be saved/backed up and is there a special way to do it? I have heard of 9000(?) series parameters on other machines, does mine have hidden goodies?
Thanks, Ed.
