3.5.2 Preparing for Online Editing
Starting online editing
Procedure
1. Connect the personal computer to the CNC (PMC) with a data
transfer cable. (See Appendix A for an explanation about the data
transfer cable.)
2. Check the current programmer mode (offline or online). (See
Fig.3.5.1.)
3. If the programmer mode is offline, select [Ladder] -
[Online/Offline] or click the [On Line/Off Line Change] button
to change the programmer mode to online.
4. When you select a ladder program which is not currently used in
the PMC, FANUC LADDER-III automatically stores or loads the
ladder program. (See Section 5.3, "AUTOMATIC
COMPILATION AND DECOMPILATION," for details.)
5. After that, automatic decompilation is performed and ladder
monitoring starts.
6. Then, select [Ladder] - [Ladder Mode] to change the ladder mode
(monitor or editor) to editor.
NOTE
1 If a ladder program to be edited online does not
match one in the PMC, it is impossible to change
the ladder mode to edit. Before trying to match the
ladder to be edited to that in the PMC, store or load
the ladder program to be edited.
2 A level 3 program can be added by right-clicking
the [Program List] screen and then clicking [Add
LEVEL3]. Level 3 programs can be added only
when the current programmer mode is offline.
