    M500 Re-Initialization & Format Procedure: MELDAS 500 Series

    Uploaded by

    Rafael López
    This document provides instructions for clearing RAM memory, formatting, and EEPROM writing on a Mitsubishi M500 Series NC controller. The steps include setting dip switches to clear RAM memory, formatting to restore default parameters after RAM is cleared, and writing to EEPROM to save new parameter and program data. Clearing contaminated RAM memory restores the controller to original settings from the EEPROM, which must then be reprogrammed through formatting and EEPROM writing procedures.

    The document discusses clearing and formatting procedures for the RAM and EEPROM memory on an M500 CPU board. Caution should be taken to back up important data like parameters and programs before clearing the RAM in case of contamination. The EEPROM stores system information and loads it back into RAM on power up.

    The RAM memory should only be cleared when the data becomes contaminated, which is not common. Contamination could occur from corrupt file transfers or a low battery. Clearing the RAM allows the EEPROM data to reload the system.

    Before clearing the RAM, all important data like parameters, tool data, and programs should be backed up to a floppy disk. If the RAM is already contaminated, it is too late to back up the data.

    Format Procedure
    EEPROM Read/Write
    Clearing of the RAM memory should only be done when the data stored in the
    RAM memory becomes contaminated. Contamination is not a common occurrence,
    but sometimes it might happen maybe due to file transfers of corrupt data via a
    communications link, or even if the battery drops to an unsafe level. But if it does
    happen for whatever reason, caution should be taken to be sure all parameters,
    tooling data, programs, and etc, are restored to there original settings. The EEPROM
    (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) located on the QX141-1
    card stores viable information about the NC, and is transferred to RAM at power on.
    After the data is cleared in the RAM (Random Access Memory), the EEPROM data
    will then load itself back into the RAM area. Previous to clearing the RAM, all data of
    importance should be backed up to Floppy Disk i.e. parameters, tool data, programs.
    If the RAM is already contaiminated, it is to late to backup the data. So it is best to
    periodically save your important data. After completing the RAM clear, and data is
    restored, it is always recommended to verify parameters with the hard copy that was
    supplied by the OEM at the time the machine was installed.

    Normally, all the switches are set to the left hand

    side, or the off position. Moving them to the right
    will have the following effects.

    SW8 SW3-Stop EEPROM Transfer at power on

    SW4-Watchdog Alarm disable

    SW1 & SW3-RAM Clear

    
    5$0&/($5

    1. Turn the NC Power Off


    2. SW1 & SW3 On (to the right)
    3. NC Power On
    4. Wait for the two green LED’s on the QX141-1 to turn on
    5. Power Off
    6. Go to the formatting procedure
    Note: If the green light fails to come on some other problem has occurred. Possibly
    the system software has been damaged.
