Hello, I am seeking assistance regarding a mistake I made while swapping out the battery in my machine with the power off, resulting in data loss and system malfunction. I am in possession of a Fanuc Power Mate handheld programmer, but unfortunately, my parameter sheet containing X and Y settings has become unreadable due to oil damage. If anyone has a photo of this sheet, it would be greatly appreciated. The Power Mate model programmer number is A02B-0118-C041, and the PLC/Driver combo is the Power Mate A02B-0118-B002 (1992-02). I have been informed that I can load the file onto a memory card, plug it into the programmer, and extract the data that way. If anyone has access to this sheet or could provide a photo of the settings, it would be extremely helpful as I am familiar with the process of inputting the information. Despite my efforts, I have not received assistance from Chevalier and am still awaiting a response from Fanuc USA.
An update on the system: it utilizes two Power Mate controllers, with the Y axis controlling the grinder's vertical movement and the Z axis controlling its horizontal movement. Today, I connected my Power Mate programmer to the Y controller and manually copied all available parameters to use in programming the Z axis. This action successfully resolved any errors and enabled the machine to power up completely. Despite everything functioning properly, the Z axis remains immobile. This progress signals a step forward, but it also raises new questions. Is there a comprehensive guide available that explains the function of each value in the programming parameters? These values were manually programmed at some point, and I could not locate any information on setting K values in the manual. Any insights on these older PLCs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
Which PowerMate model do you have? I have a start-up guide for the PowerMate H, publication number GFK-1383A, that includes a comprehensive list of essential parameter configurations.
Steve Bailey inquired about the specific model of PowerMate being used. He mentioned having a vintage PowerMate H startup guide with publication number GFK-1383A, containing essential parameter settings. The Power Mate model installed in the machine is A02B-0118-B002. Photos of the PLC and programmer were taken, with the programmer captured before inputting parameters for the Y Axis. Interestingly, the Model H appears to be more contemporary in design.
Hey there, I completely understand your situation. I've been in a similar pinch before. While I don't have the exact model you mentioned, I have found that reaching out directly to Fanuc through their service hotline can really expedite the process. They should be able to guide you and may have digital versions of the parameter sheets that you need. Also, you might want to check out the CNC forum at CNCzone.com where many users share images and PDFs of machine manuals and parameter sheets. Best of luck with your issue, I hope you get it resolved soon.
I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, it sure sounds like a bit of a headache. While I unfortunately don't have a physical copy of the sheet you're after, I recommend checking out on the official Fanuc website or CNC forums. You can also try reaching out to other users with the same model on social platforms such as LinkedIn or Facebook groups. Sometimes local technical schools or community colleges may have these sheets archived as well, might be worth a shot to give them a call. It's frustrating when companies are slow on customer service response. However, do hang in there, I'm sure you'll find a solution soon enough. Good luck!
Sorry to hear about your trouble! Unfortunately, I don't have the same model, so I can't provide a photo of the parameter sheet. However, you might find it helpful to check on the Fanuc user forums or CNC machinist groups. They often have a wealth of shared resources, and someone there might just have what you need for your Power Mate A02B-0118-C041. Sometimes, local machine shops also keep records of these sheets for different models and may be willing to assist. Don't lose hope yet!
