28.2 INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES
28.2.1 FANUC FLOPPY CASSETTE
When the Floppy Cassette is connected to the NC, machining
programs stored in the NC can be saved on a Floppy Cassette, and
machining programs saved in the Floppy Cassette can be transferred
to the NC.
28.2.2 FANUC PROGRAM FILE Mate
The built-in hard disk enables data to be stored and it can be
connected to
the reader/puncher interface to input data to CNC. This hard disk
has a large storage capacity of approximately 50,000 m of paper tape
data, so it can register maximum 1024 command programs.
It can be connected to the remote buffer to achieve high-speed
transfer of
maximum 86.4 kbps.
The hard disk is sealed to be continuously used under the factory
environment.
28.2.3 FANUC Handy File
The FANUC Handy File is a compact multi functional input/ouput
floppy disk unit for use with various types of FA equipment.
Programs can be transferred or edited through operations performed
directly on the Handy File or through remote operation from
connected equipment.
Compared with media such as paper tape, a 3.5" floppy disk is both
compact and durable, and eliminates noise during input/output.
Programs with a total capacity of up to 1.44 MB (equivalent to about
3600 m paper tape) can be saved on a single floppy disk.
