CompactFlash Card for Fanuc i Series Controls
|
Fanuc Series 16i, 18i, 21i, 0i, 30i, 31i, 32i controls are
equipped with the memory card slot next to the LCD
display. This card slot can be used to transfer data to and from the CNC controller as well as perform SRAM Data backup (entire contents of the control's SRAM memory). It is also possible to download (and upload) and individual data such as CNC/ PMC Parameters, Part Programs, Tool offsets etc. |

There are several manufacturers of CompactFlash
Memory card. However, We have seen some compatibility issues with some cards.
In general, we found SanDisk products to work well with Fanuc
16i/18i/21i (especially the earlier versions of i-series controls). |
