CNC Control IdentificationTo view Memory Upgrades for your control type: CLICK HERE Checking your software version The software version also confirms the model of your control, and memory options. You can determine the software version by powering-up the control with E-stop active (button depressed). The control should hang on the software version screen (in the lower right corner of this screen, you will see the servo version number as well). Fanuc 0 Control Identification In order to find the control type, check the serial number of your Fanuc zero:To determine the version of the Fanuc 0 series CNC Control, check the master board number and/or the software version. The master board is found on the top left side of the main circuit board, usually mounted in the control cabinet that has the daughter card attached. It should not be confused with "A03B-????-????" numbers, which are Fanuc's ordering numbers and are usually found on a sticker above the master board. Fanuc 6, 9, 11 & 12 Control Identification & Memory Size Chart To view Memory Upgrades for your control type: CLICK HERE Fanuc Series 6, 9, 11 & 12 CNC machine tool controls use Bubble Memory Units (BMUs) to store the following information: System Options, NC Parameters, Macro Variables, Macro Variable Names, Work Offsets, Tool Offsets, PC Parameters, Part Programs, Menu Data and Conversational Programming Data. The BMU is non-volatile and it does not require batteries to maintain its memory. The BMU is a serial device that stores data in loops which can be marked as bad in a special Defect Loop Data section and therefore bypassed (similar to marking a bad sector on a hard drive). The new Fanuc SRAM boards are Static RAM based and are designed to substitute for obsolete BMUs. Fanuc Memory Identification: The following table outlines the various Fanuc BMU and SRAM sizes that are available. The BMU is found attached to the masterboard on the left side for FS 6 and 11 controls and is found on the right hand side on the Fanuc 9 & 12. In the charts board “Type” refers to the Fanuc 11/12 “Type= xx” heading found in I.P.L. (Initial Program Load) screen which is arrived at by holding “-” + “.” on power up. On Fanuc 6B2’s, size can be seen in Diagnostic byte 702 - bits 6, 5 & 4 (i.e. x011xxxx is 20 Meters of tape or 8 Kilobytes of part program memory).
Notes: The Fanuc 9 can take up to 4 BMUs, but they can only be 1280 Meters in size. The Fanuc 9 uses the first BMU to store its system software, and as such the maximum memory is only 2560 Meters of tape or 1.5 Megs even with all 4 boards installed.
