    This document provides instructions for setting up PC FAPT Ladder software to run properly, including memory requirements, port setup, and cable configuration. It recommends allocating 500k RAM for ladders up to 16,000 steps or an additional 256k for 24,000 steps. The port must be configured correctly via the FLIO_AT.DAT file and cabling diagram. Issues like "Port Overrun" errors can sometimes be addressed by adjusting baud rates or timer settings in FLIO_AT.DAT.

    PC FAPT Ladder Setup

    This document is directed at helping you to set up PC FAPT LADDER for


    proper port control and with enough memory to run properly. Consider the
    following:

    • Memory Requirements - Approximately 500k of ram is required for ladders


    up to 16,000 steps. If 24,000 steps are used, an additional 256k of EMS is
    required. This working ram is normally obtained by installing DOS high and by
    not activating other software in your CONFIG.SYS file. Do not activate
    anything in your autoexec.bat, since many things such as Smartdrive, Power
    Save, and some mouse drivers are not compatible with this software.
    • Port Setup - cabling, port parameter setup, use of COM2 instead of COM1
    and timing parameters for the port.
    • Use of S-Ram cards for transferring Ladder programs.

    You can determine the availability of Ram space by typing “MEM” at the DOS
    prompt and obtain maximum usable memory by proper setup in CONFIG.SYS.
    You should also activate EMM386.exe to allow using expanded memory and
    HIMEM to allow loading DOS high.

    EXAMPLE CONFIG.SYS

    DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
    DOS=HIGH,UMB
    DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
    FILES=50
    BUFFERS=10
    STACKS=9,256
    DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
    (With Windows 95, address is C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS)

    For Windows 95 systems loading FAPT ladder for PMC N or NA


    Add following line in Autoexec.bat file
    SET TMP=
    (This line is SET TMP=null)

    When you need to upload and down load ladders from the CNC to the PC, your
    port must be set up properly. The first requirement is that your cable must be
    constructed properly. The on-line cable shown in appendix 1 of GFZ-66131E
    (FAPT LADDER) and appendix 8 of GFZ-66184E (FLADDER II) must be used. If
    the cable is mis-wired, a port error will occur. If you have a 9 pin port ,a female
    25 to female 9 pin adapter is required also (see drawing or you can buy them at
    Radio Shack for approx. $4).

    Port parameters are set up automatically by file FLIO_AT.DAT. If you want to


    transfer at a different baud rate or want to use COM2, edit the entries for the
    PMC type or device of FLIO_AT.DAT (located in the directory into which you
    installed PC FAPT Ladder). EX. To change the third entry to use COM2 and
    9600 baud, modify as follows:

    PMC-L = COM1:48,N,8,2 modify to be PMC-L =COM2,96,N,8,2

    Port timing is set up by the first three active blocks in FLIO_AT.DAT. The
    software is shipped to run on interrupt 15, which is the right setting for most PC’s
    (the first setup described in the comments at the beginning of FLIO_AT.DAT). If
    you get a “Port Overrun” error when you transfer a ladder from the CNC to the
    PC, first try lowering the baud rate. If this doesn’t help, try changing the third
    active line of FLIO_AT.DAT from PMC;IN/TIMER=5,OUT/TIMER=0 to
    PMC;IN/LOOP=xxxx,OUT/TIMER=0
    (Experimentally use values of 50 to 3000 for xxxx, be sure you change from
    TIMER to LOOP).

    If you are using S-Ram cards for transferring your ladder and do not have a
    PCMCIA drive in your PC, your area GE Fanuc Applications Engineer can obtain
    for you from the GE Fanuc Subscriber, a Application note (H119514.DOC)
    which describes a drive which we have tested that connects to your printer port.
    If your PC has a PCMCIA drive and you can’t read or write to your card, check
    the PC documentation for installing the software driver or contact the
    manufacturer for the proper drivers. To help you to understand memory cards
    which can be used, Subscriber also has a document on memory cards
    (MEMRYCRD.DOC).

    Notes
    1. : Some PC Laptop manufacturers provide a special disk with software to allow
    changing the configuration for such things as disabling Power Save.
    2. A “Out of memory “ alarm can sometimes be generated by too large a Symbol
    file.
