C Language Executor
The function for access to the memory card
1. SPECIFICATION
The application program can access a memory card which is inserted in the card slot equipped
on the main board of the Power Mate as a disk device.
To read/write a memory card, execute the following procedures.
(1) Insert a memory card into the slot.
(2) Mount the memory card as a disk device by the application program.
(Call "aux_file_mount" function.)
(3) Open files by using "fopen", "fcreate" function, etc. with drive name
"B:".
(4) Read/write contents of the memory card by using "fgets", "fprintf",
"fread", "fwrite", etc.
(5) Close the files by using "fclose" function.
(6) Unmount the memory card. (Call "aux_file_unmount" function.)
(7) Remove the memory card from the slot.
Logical format of a memory card that this library can handle is MS-DOS format used on the
generic MS-DOS Personal computers. C library doesn't support formatting function of a memory
card. It can read/write only formatted memory cards. Format memory cards by using a personal
computer with PC card slots or the boot software of the Power Mate.
[Note]
* The drive name to access a memory card is "B:". It is fixed.
* The C application program can't access the memory card while the other
software (CNC software, etc.) is accessing it.
* The C application program may fail to access the memory card just after
insertion the memory card (for a few minutes). ("aux_file_mount" function
returns "EAUTHREJ".) The CNC program causes this problem because it always
polling the card slot to detect card insertion. In this case, the appli-
cation program must retry to access.
