Memory 16MB, 1460-4C

Product Overview

The PCB-0044 is a 16MB Memory Expansion designed exclusively for use with Fadal CNC Machines. It functions as a vital upgrade to the machine’s existing memory system, specifically for machines with a 1400-5C CPU board. This memory board expands the capacity of your CNC machine, allowing it to handle larger and more complex machining operations, providing greater flexibility and efficiency. 

Manufactured by I-T-S, which has been the Original Circuit Board Test and Repair Supplier for Fadal Engineering since 1992, this product is built to meet the high standards expected from CNC users.

 

Usage of PCB-0044

The PCB-0044 Memory 16MB, 1460-4C is primarily used to enhance the operational capacity of Fadal CNC Machines by expanding their memory. As Fadal machines run intricate and data-heavy programs for precise manufacturing, increasing the available memory is crucial for seamless performance, particularly for businesses handling larger and more complex projects. Upgrading to 16MB enables quicker program execution, smoother machining processes, and reduced downtime associated with memory limitations, ensuring higher productivity in demanding CNC environments.

 

Functionality in CNC Machines

Upgrading your Fadal CNC Machine with the PCB-0044 Memory 16MB, 1460-4C significantly improves the machine’s functionality by expanding its memory capacity. The CNC’s memory dictates how much data it can process in a single run. Larger memory storage means that the machine can handle more complex operations, store larger programs, and facilitate longer machining cycles without interruptions. This is particularly important for manufacturing facilities where precision and continuous operation are key. The expanded memory also reduces the need to frequently clear the machine's memory, preventing potential bottlenecks during production.

 

Compatibility for PCB-0044

The PCB-0044 memory expansion is specifically designed for Fadal CNC machines equipped with the 1400-5C CPU. Compatibility with older models, such as the 1400-5A CPU, is not possible without upgrading the CPU to a 5C version. The memory expansion allows for increased flexibility, but it is important to ensure your machine's current configuration can accommodate this upgrade. 

Additionally, the PCB-0044 will work with V103.5 software, providing optimal performance when installed with the correct CPU and software configuration. If you're unsure about compatibility, reach out to our team. We are here to help you identify the right memory expansion based on your specific machine setup.

 

Important Information (Fadal 16MB Memory Expansion 1460-4C)

When considering memory expansion for your Fadal CNC Machine, it is essential to understand the system requirements for a successful upgrade. The PCB-0044 works exclusively with the 1400-5C CPU. 

If you currently have a 1400-5A CPU, it will need to be upgraded or replaced to support this memory expansion. Additionally, your machine must be running V103.5 software for optimal results. 

Once the correct configuration is in place, installation is straightforward and enhances the machine’s memory capabilities from a previous maximum of 384k to an expanded 16MB. This upgrade is invaluable for those seeking to boost the data-handling and processing power of their Fadal CNC Machine, enabling more efficient and high-precision machining.

 

Installation Process for Memory 16MB, 1460-4C

When adding Fadal's expanded memory to any CPU, make sure to record all parameters before installation because they will need to be re-entered. 

Afterward, power down the machine and attach the memory board to the CPU and use the following procedure:

CLEAR AND FORMAT THE MEMORY

1. Enter CNC Diagnostics – Enter the command DI then type G0 3000 Select ZERO MEMORY
2. Select Y (to lose all programs) Power Off CNC, wait 10 seconds.
3. Power ON
4. Reinitialize the memory for the CNC format: At ENTER NEXT COMMAND
5. Enter command RI
6. Y
7. Note: use zero not the letter O
8. Y
9. Y
10. (control restarts)
11. AT ENTER NEXT COMMAND
12. Enter SETTO command to set the current tool in the tool turret as number 1
13. Enter BL command and set original backlash values
14. Enter SETP and set all parameter values to the recorded values from the worksheet in step 1. Press MANUAL to exit parameter menu
15. Power OFF the CNC and restore power after 10 seconds.

 

TESTING THE MEMORY AT ENTER NEXT COMMAND

Enter DT command - All values should be zero
Enter the ME command to verify the new memory capacity.

 

Take Precaution - Things To Know

Your Fadal machine is now ready to run. However, caution must be taken since CNC parameters have been changed. Incorrect parameter settings can affect the machine's performance and operation. Before starting any full production run, it is recommended that you perform a “dry-run” to verify the machine’s correct operation after the memory installation.
