Input operation (from an external device to the ROBODRILL)

(1) Place the machine in the MDI mode and press the emergency stop button to place the machine in the
emergency stop state.
(2) On the I/O DATA screen, move the item and data selection cursors and make the following settings:

Setting item Data

PMC PMC2
DEVICE MEMORY CARD / FLOPPY
FUNCTION READ
KIND OF DATA (Cannot be specified.)
The type of read data is automatically determined
FILE NAME Specify a file name in the MS-DOS format (up to eight characters for the file name
with up to three characters for the extension).
Pressing [(OPRT)] → [LIST] displays a list of files on the memory card. Position
the cursor on the file you want to read and press the [SELECT] key to select the
file.

(3) Press the [(OPRT)] key, then the [EXEC] key. Reading the file starts.
When an attempt is made to read a file, the following message is displayed, asking whether to read
the file:
READING MESSAGE DATA (SEQUENCE PROGRAM) (PMC2)
<CAUTION>Special care must be exercised to read a sequence program or PMC parameters.
* Reading an inappropriate file may cause unexpected operation of the machine.
* When a sequence program is read during operation, the program automatically stops.
Do you want to read this file?

To continue with the operation, press the [EXEC] key.

(The ladder program being executed automatically stops.)

(4) After the completion of reading in step <3>, write each type of data to the flash ROM. Make the
following settings:

Setting item Data

PMC PMC2

(5) Press the [(OPRT)] key → [EXEC] key to execute data writing. "COMPLETE" is displayed to
indicate completion.

WARNING
When data is read during the execution of a ladder program, the ladder program
automatically stops. Special care must be exercised to stop a ladder program.
If a ladder program is stopped at an inappropriate timing or in an inappropriate
machine state, the machine may perform unexpected operation. In the ladder
program stopped state, the safety mechanism and monitoring functions of the
ladder program also stop. Be sure to confirm that "the machine is in an
appropriate state" and that "no one is near the machine" before stopping the
ladder program.
