The Power Mate 0 can be connected to a commercial touch panel via a
third–party’s touch panel interface designed for FANUC products.
A program on the touch panel side can read information about input
relays, output relays, internal relays, keep relays, data tables, timers, and
counters from the Power Mate 0, and create touch panel screens according
to that information.
It is possible to set up information about internal relays, keep relays, data
tables, timers, and counters in the Power Mate 0 from the touch panel.
For commercial touch panels to connect to the Power Mate 0, they must
be operable on a third party’s touch panel interface designed for FANUC
touch products. Contact the touch panel manufacturer for information
about whether the touch panel you want to use is operable on such touch
panel interfaces.
FANUC has confirmed that the GP–450E manufactured by Digital can
operate on the Power Mate 0. It has not confirmed that any other touch
panel manufactured by third parties can be used.

1. The Power Mate 0 needs a touch panel connection module. No
CRT control module can be used together with a touch panel. To
put another way, the CRT/MDI cannot be used on the Power Mate
0 if the Power Mate 0 is connected to a touch panel.
2. No commercial touch panel can display a CNC operation screen
on the Power Mate 0. The DPL/MDI is necessary for
maintenance, however.
3. The customer should get the J123 cable ready separately from the
Power Mate 0.
4. The customer should get a terminator ready separately from the
Power Mate 0. To get one from FANUC, order it, using the
ordering information A02B–0166–D003. The terminator
(A02B–0124–D001) for a CRT cannot be used with a
commercial touch panel.
