1 GENERAL
The remote buffer for FANUC Series 15i/150i-MODEL A is an
option and is used to allow a large number of data to be continuously
supplied to the CNC at high speed by connecting it to the host
computer or I/O device through a serial interface.
The followings can be performed by the remote buffer.
1) It is used to perform DNC operation at high speed and with high
reliability by performing on-line connection to the host
computer.
2) It is used to download the NC program and parameters from the
host computer. When protocol B or expansion protocol B is
used, NC programs and parameters can also be uploaded to the
host computer.
3) It is used to perform DNC operation and download various kinds
of data by connecting to the I/O device. The following I/O
devices can be connected.
(1) FANUC PROGRAM FILE Mate
(2) FANUC HANDY FILE
Hereafter, the destination where the remote buffer is connected to is
called “Host computer” for ease of explanation.
