E. MACRO CONVERTER (MCONV) OPERATION
GUIDE FOR THE FANUC Series 16/18
Super CAP M/Super CAP II M

APPENDIX
80
Appendix E describes how to operate the tool for supporting the
conversational automatic programming function (Super CAP M/Super
CAP II M) for milling machines.
The user can convert conversational programming menu definition
programs together with other macro programs to ROM-format files in a
personal computer using the procedure below:
The procedures for creating a ROM file and MEM file for Super CAP M
or Super CAP II M are described below.
(1) Create the following menu definition programs with an editor.
D Menu definition program
D Conversational data definition program
D Data item display program
(2) Convert a source file to the table data file in the Super CAP/Super
CAP II M table format using the macro converter (MCONV).
Example: MCONV JZH_PARA
JZH_PARA: Name of source program file for table data
(3) Compile the source programs to object files using the macro compiler
(MCOMPO).
Example: MCOMPO MACHINE
MACHINE: Source program file name
(4) Use the macro linker (MLINK) to convert the object and table data
files to ROM–format files.
Example: MLINK BJ64_J
BJ64_J: Link control file name
(5) Use the MEM file conversion tool (MMCARD) to convert
ROM–format files to memory–card–format files.
This step is not required for the Series 16/18–MA.
Example: MMCARD BJ64_J
BJ64_J: ROM–format file name
For the syntax of menu definition programs, refer to the ”Super CAP M
Programming Manual” (B-62153E).
NOTE
A FANUC standard macro program is provided only after a
confidentiality agreement with a machine tool builder has
been signed.
