Mori Mapps

I don’t think you can disable Mapps front end. Mori made sure it is tightly integrated.

I am running Fanuc on a Mori with the Mapps disabled. I have been experimenting a few days. The reason I am doing this is we have a long Mastercam program that does not fit inside the control and Mori does not like to drip feed, so I am running from a pcmcia card. This causes other issues. Primarily, the inability to jump around in the program with M198, whereas you can with M98. Whoever said this was a Crapps control, hit the nail on the head.

One thing I have noticed is the inability to use the Position (PSO) button when running in Fanuc mode. I am wondering why that is. Mori is of absolutely no help, for obvious reasons they are playing dumb.

 

Watcher...you can enter Fanuc mode by:

Mdi

Settings

type in 999999999

hit input

This will enter Dos.

From there you can enter dir/w to view all of the files

type in SAMPLE.EXE

hit input

Now you will see the fanuc page

 

I really hate the Mapps format

This control is an MSG-501 on a Mori NV5000

On the MAPPS controls for long programs that don't fit in the main memory we use the "User Memory" on the PC side, it has several gigabytes of storage and you can edit and search etc..

How? When I spoke with Mori, they claimed this was an option that they claimed we did not have, and tried to sell an upgrade. I had asked them about this mystical 50MB storage.

When in "Tape" mode press "Program List" and you should be looking at the PC hard drive. I've never known it to be an option however I haven't worked for the dealer in few years now. On an older Fanuc 31i there is 1 gig and on a newer 31i there is 7 gig. Also on our horizontal with Mitsubishi control there's 69 megabytes

 

cheers!

Are you looking to run programs from the DNC (tape) side? Some of our machines had this side locked out so you just have to enable them.

Go to "setting", "comm setting", "network IO", "server detail". Set the first column to "permit" 

 

I do not seem to have these features in the Mori settings. You may have a newer version of Mapps. Thank you for the help.

there's another setting that would prevent you from seeing the PC hard drive along with the one previously mentioned by "Ranger Dan"

 

go to "Setting" then #5 "Operation Mode" and make sure Tape Mode is set to MAPPS-DNC when this is set to DNC(RS232) it doesn't display the PC hard drive, I tried it on an older machine with one of the 1st versions of MAPPS

 

cheers!

The 2 NV5000's that I checked have a different control designation than yours, one is a MSX501 and the other is a MSX511 so that might be why yours don't have the "user memory" storage area??

 

I never found the settings that Ranger Dan mentioned on any of our MAPPS machines either

Go to "setting", "comm setting", "network IO", "server detail". Set the first column to "permit" 

 

sorry I wasn't much help!
