The 10M was available from the factory with 3 different kinds of interfaces. This was supposed to make it easy for machine tool builders who were using the Fanuc 6 and the Fanuc 3 to convert their PLC software to the Fanuc 10.
The interface options were "Fanuc 3 compatible interface", "Fanuc 6 compatible interface" and "BMI interface". The machine builders who chose the Fanuc 3 interface made it impossible to drip-feed, because the Fanuc 3 never had a TAPE mode. The Fanuc 6 and the BMI interfaces could have a TAPE mode if the machine tool builder wanted to put one in the PLC.
What you need is a retrofitter who can do a simple modification to your machines PLC software and burn you a new set of EPROMs. If your machine has the Fanuc 6 or BMI interface, it's not such a bad job. There is some proprietary Fanuc equipment required, so it's not a job for a do-it-yourselfer unless you have lots of $$ to spend. |

Hi billy
Have you fixed this problem as I have the same(no tape mode on the 10m) it is a BMI interface control.
With no programs, it has 410 pages of memory and 50 files. Could you tell me how much memory yours has in pages and meters. Be sure to Email me back as I have the full option parameters list.

I have come to find out that 410 pages of memory is the max. for this control(fanuc 10m modal A)I started out with 195 pages of mem. if any of you guys want to increase the mem. on their control email me at mroy7@cogeco.ca I can help.
I will also have the tape mode enabled vary soon and will give an update for that.

1 page = 78 characters
78 x 410 = 31980 characters
31980 = almost 32K |
