The following Input/Output devices are prepared, which are connectable
to the reader/puncher interface.
When the Floppy Cassette is connected to the NC, machining programs
stored in the NC can be saved on a Floppy Cassette, and machining
programs saved in the Floppy Cassette can be transferred to the NC.
The built-in hard disk enables data to be stored and it can be connected
to the reader/puncher interface to input data to CNC. This hard disk has
a large storage capacity of approximately 50,000 m of paper tape data, so
it can register maximum 1024 command programs.
It can be connected to the remote buffer to achieve high-speed transfer of
maximum 86.4 kbps.
The hard disk is sealed to be continuously used under the factory
environment.
The FANUC Handy File is a compact multi functional input/ouput floppy
disk unit for use with various types of FA equipment. Programs can be
transferred or edited through operations performed directly on the Handy
File or through remote operation from connected equipment.
Compared with media such as paper tape, a 3.5″ floppy disk is both
compact and durable, and eliminates noise during input/output.
Programs with a total capacity of up to 1.44 MB (equivalent to about 3600
m paper tape) can be saved on a single floppy disk.
