Hello,

I want to cut with our Robofil 300f fanuc system machine using memory card. But i don't know what type of CF card with adapter should i use. Becouse when i plug transcend industrial grade CF card with adapter to my machine it gives me an errorr. Does anybody use memory cards to cut with EDM?

Yes, I use them. I use the scan disk. Depending on machine I use either the 64 MB for the older machines and use the 1.0 GB for newer machine.

Do i have to format that cf card for fat32 fat or ntfs card system formats? Becouse i uploud NC program file to my transcend industrial grade 64mb card and then i put it to CF card to adapter and then i plug in to my robofil machine trying to save program to machine and it gives me ant "card erorr" 09***** dont remember rightnow the error number any sugestions?

I'm not sure about your machine but on mine I have to tell it where to pull the program from. In this case from the memory card.

Only other thing I can think of is your machine may require you to have % at top of program and bottom. You may have to put that in there.

 

 

What kind of machine? Charmilles?

I've seen this before.

 

Let's double-check a few things.

Check that parameter 20 is set to 4
Check that the edit lock switch is off.
Check to see if parameter 138 exists.

If it does, make sure bit 7 is set to 0. (8 bits total, reading right to left starting at 0)

 

The "99" alarm is telling you there is a corrupt sector in the memory of the card.

That is probably not the actual problem.

The problem is most likely that the CF card read/write speed is simply too fast for the control.

The specs on your card do indicate a speed faster than anything I have ever used.

Given the vintage of the machine, I'm fairly certain that's the problem.

 

 

Try formatting on the control itself.

1. power down
2. put card in
3. power up holding 2 right soft keys down
4. select format card

 

If that doesn't work, your card is too fast for the control.

Replace the card with the SanDisk Ultra II 15MB/Sec card that I gave you the link to.

Thank you for helping me , but i am a bit confused do you mean that i have to put my cf card to machine than turn off the machine and later turn it on holding two buttons and than select format ? Can you explain wich keys are "2 right soft keys down"? sorry my english is terrible. thanks again.

You probably right becouse we have doosan dnm 500 cnc miling machine and we specialy buyed that card type industrial grade its fast type write read speed maybe its the reason. I need to try normal cf card then. tnx for advice.
