CAUTION
D This control unit can use a memory card as its input/output
unit. Any of the following can be used in the control unit:
SRAM memory card
Flash memory card
Flash memory ATA card
For details of these memory cards, refer to your ordering
information list.
D A file on a memory card can be view–, read–, and
write–accessed only when the file is in the root directory. If
it is in a subdirectory, it cannot be accessed at all.
D The required data read/write time varies with the type of the
memory card on which the data is stored and the way in
which it is used.
D For writing, only those flash memory card types
recommended by FANUC can be used. For reading, any
flash memory card type can generally be used in the same
manner as an SRAM card, provided that it supports FAT
format. Note that the usable capacity of a flash memory
card is actually 128 KB less than its original capacity. Note
that individual files cannot be erased from a flash memory
card; all files on the card must be erased simultaneously.
D The flash memory ATA card uses a quick format (both file
allocation table and root directory information are cleared).
If it has not yet been formatted, it must be formatted on a
personal computer.
