Identifying your Fanuc/ GE Fanuc CNC

In most cases you should be able to determine the type of Fanuc/ GE Fanuc CNC from the 
relevant manual and documentations that come with your machine. However, if you are unable to 
identify the control, the following general information may help.

Control designation: Example Fanuc/ GE Fanuc series 0M-C denotes Series 0 model C 
(as oppose to model A or B) for Milling machines.
M for Milling Machines
T for Turning/ Lathe Machines
TT for Twin Turret Machines
G for Grinding Machines
P for Punch Presses

Early generation Fanuc CNCs (such as Fanuc 200B, 2000C, 3000C, 5T, 3TA, 3MA, 6TA, 6MA) 
have MDI/DPL units and no CRT. Some Fanuc 3T, 3M, 6TA and 6MA controls are available 
with CRT or commonly refer to as monitors.

                
Fanuc 6TB, 6MB, 10TA, 10TE, 10TF, 11TA, 11TTA, 11MA, 11MF, 10M, 15TA, 15TF, 15MA, 
15MF, 0MA, 0MB, 0MC, 0TA, 0TB, 0TC, 0MF controls have either 9 inch or 14 inch (measured 
diagonally as in your television set). 14 inch CRT is color display and 9 inch is mono chrome (green).                                                                                                             

Fanuc 16TA, 16TB, 16TC, 18TA, 18TB, 18TC, 16MA, 16MB, 16MC, 18MA, 18MB, 18MC, 
21TB, 21MB, 0MD, 0TD controls are available with 9 inch, 14 inch CRTs or LCD display of 
various size (like in notebook or laptop PCs). Fanuc 16iTA, 18iTA, 16iMA, 18iMA, 21iTA, 21iMA 
controls comes standard with LCD displays.

Identifying servo amplifiers (velocity control unit)

Several generation of Fanuc/GE Fanuc servo amplifiers are in existence today. 
Earlier servos are DC type and later (mid 80's on) Fanuc introduced AC type servo amplifiers. 
Servo amplifier unit or velocity control unit part number designation is as follow.   

A06B-60xx-Hyzz.

• if xx in above part designation is 42, 45, or 47 (i.e. A06B-6042, A06B-6045 or A06B-6047), the unit is DC servo amplifier

A06B-6047-Hxxx

• if xx is 50 or 57 (A06B-6050, A06B-5057), the unit is AC Analog servo
• if xx is 58, 66, or 90 (A06B-6058, A06B-6066, A06B-6090), the unit is AC Digital servo 

A06B-6058-Hxxx and A06B-6066-Hxxx Drives

• if xx is 79, 89, or 96 (A06B-6079, A06B-6089, A06B-6096), the unit is Alpha AC servo 

A06B-6079-Hxxx and A06B-6096-Hxxx Drives

• y signifies number of axes that a particular servo amplifier is controlling. If y is 0 or 1, it is a single axis unit. 
• If y = 2 it is a dual axis unit and if y = 3 then it is a 3 axis amplifier unit. 

Therefore, A06B-6058-H203 part number indicates that it is a AC servo digital dual axis amplifier.
