Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Memex Memory Upgrade Kit for the Fanuc 16 and 18 series
controls. At Memex we invest a great deal of effort in the design, manufacture and testing
of each unit we build, and back it with a three-year limited warranty. We are confident you
will find this upgrade significantly improves your CNC machining operations.
General Information
The installation procedure is straightforward and relatively easy to complete backup the
parameters and programs, swap the memory module, and restore the parameters and
programs. All thats needed are some basic skills and hand tools. Estimated time
required: 1 hour.
The 16-A and 18-A controls can be upgraded to a maximum of 512k of SRAM (1280
meters). The 18-B and 18-C can be upgraded by 768KB (1920 meters) and the 16-B and
16-C can be upgraded by 2.25MB (5120 meters). The SRAM-based memory is resident
on a Single In-Line Memory Module or SIMM that is located on the Main CPU board.
This CPU board is one of the grey slots in the yellow plastic box, next to the power
supply at the right side. The CPU board, once removed, can keep the SIMM powered for
over 30 minutes via a MAXCAP backup capacitor.
IMPORTANT: Please see Applicable CPU Boards on page 17. This SIMM must not
be installed in a board not listed in the table. If the intended CPU board is not listed,
please contact Memex Technical Support. Contact information is listed on page 18 of this
manual.
FANUC 16MB (0010) FROM NOTE:
If you have a Fanuc 16MB with a CPU Main Board of
A16B-3200-0010, then you will need a Memex FROM Board (SKU-2471) rather
than the normal SRAM card described here.
Installation Considerations
The memory upgrade should be conducted with care. Never install or remove a board
with the control power on (the main power can be on, but not the control). Take care
when handling circuit boards, as they are static sensitive. Keep the boards in the antistatic bag provided. Do not place the SIMM in any other slot on the Fanuc CPU board.
Do not force, drop or otherwise mishandle the boards during the installation procedure.
service.
Appendix A: Parameter Records
Note: If the CNC has an Option board that also has SRAM, it needs to be backed up as
well. An intermediate menu will appear in this case. Select each line and backup up the
files indicated (if present).

To start use DOWN and select MAIN to see the screen below:
6.
Using the soft keys, select SRAM BACKUP. It will ask you if you want to save the
SRAM settings. Press YES to save the necessary files.
7.
Back out of that menu by using the soft keys to select END. (Once at the main menu
you can check the contents of your SRAM card by selecting MEMORY CARD FILE
DELETE and checking out what files are available for deletion - obviously back out
of this menu without deleting anything after looking.)
8.
On the main screen, go to the bottom and select END, then press YES to leave this
area and reboot the control. The files backed up to the SRAM card may be checked
via a notebook PCs PC card slot. Filenames should match the ones listed on page 18.
CAUTION:
Never initialize the Flash
memory from the SRAM boot screen. - It will
clear your operating system files, including your ladder. It
is OK to initialize the SRAM card however. If you would
like to see what files are already on the SRAM card, you
can select the Delete Files menu item, view them, and
then exit without deleting anything.
Using the forms on page 20, record the SETTING (Handy) screen data. (To display
the parameters, Press the SYSTEM , PARAM soft keys. To skip to specific
parameters, enter the number of the parameter to be displayed and press NO.SRH.
The screen can also be changed using the cursor or page key.)
2.
Write down the serial port settings in parameters 20, 100-103, 111-113 and 121-123.
(131-133 if using Channel 3, i.e. RS-422 link.)
3.
Using the forms on pages 20-24, record the NC Service Parameters, PC Parameters,
and Data Tables.
01234567
If not already connected, connect the CNC to a PC with a serial data cable (see
Standard Fanuc Serial Cable, page 16). You will need a communications program
(such as a DNC system or at least a terminal program) to download and upload the
parameters. Make sure the softwares communications settings match the CNCs.
NC Parameters
2. Get the computer ready to receive the NC data.
Select EDIT mode.
Press softkeys SYSTEM PARAM OPTR > PUNCH EXEC
Pitch Error Compensation
3. Get the computer ready to receive the Pitch Error Comp. data.
Confirm that EDIT mode is selected.
Press SYSTEM > PITCH OPTR > PUNCH EXEC
Macro Variables
4. Get the computer ready to receive the macro variables.
Confirm that EDIT mode is selected.
Press OFFSET > MACRO OPTR > PUNCH EXEC
Part Programs
5. Set parameter 3202.4 and 3202.0 to 0 to unprotect part programs in the 8000 series
and 9000 series. Get the computer ready to receive part programs.
Confirm that EDIT mode is selected.
Press PRGRM > .
Type O-9999 and press PUNCH EXEC .
Tool & Work Offsets
6. Get the computer ready to receive the Tool Offset data.
Confirm that EDIT mode is selected.
Press OFFSET OPTR > PUNCH EXEC .
Get the computer ready to receive the Work Offset data.
Confirm that EDIT mode is selected.
Press WORK OPTR > PUNCH EXEC .
PMC Data
7. The PMC communications settings are separate from the normal serial port settings.
Set them to match the settings for other serial communications so the PMC data can
be easily backed up.
5
The PMC data will now be written to part program O6666. Backup this program
to the computer the same way as other part programs.
Also backup CAP data and Graphics & Animation parameters if present: Edit
mode, press OFFSET key, then CAP TL > PUNCH .
Note: For FS16A MAPPS on a Mori Seiki, get D Params in Custom Key, Input, type
76543210 Input and Yes (to write Parameters), 95 Change D453 & D458 bits, Input
decimal as binary.
Note: If you have trouble clearing the Additional SRAM and still get Parity Alarms,
you can download a blank 512k SRAM backup file from our web site at:
NOTE: Parameters are Japanese style right to left 76543210 NOT 01234567
http://www.memex.ca/products/SRAM2_5D.FDB
This file can be renamed to whatever the control can read in the restore screen. This file
copied and renamed the number of times necessary will effectively erase (write to all
zeros) the Additional SRAM Card.
If you have a simple controller (no Option or Loader boards) holding down RESET
+ DELETE will clear every board.
