Integrated Workflow: While specialized tools exist, standard FANUC LADDER-III software is also used for modern Flash-ROM writing and converting M-CARD format files (.001) into editable PC formats (.LAD). How to Use the Tool The general workflow for EPROM data management involves: The Fanuc PMC EPROM Convert Tool is a
Common Pitfalls and Troubleshooting
Even with the best Fanuc PMC EPROM Convert Tool, you will encounter issues. Here is how to solve them: Input: Binary file (
- Input: Binary file (.BIN, .HEX) read from the physical chip.
- Output: A system parameter file or ladder file compatible with Fanuc Ladder software.
- Process: The tool strips the EPROM header data and organizes the machine code back into recognizable rungs of ladder logic.
- Read physical EPROM (
.bin). - Convert
BIN → LSTusing the tool. - Manually verify first 50 rungs against a hardware FANUC FAPT Ladder III station.
- Convert
LST → BIN(Round-trip). - Perform binary diff between original and converted
.bin.
Issue 1: "Unknown Format" or "Invalid Header"
- Cause: The EPROM contains not just the ladder but also the PMC system software.
- Solution: Use a more advanced tool like PMC File Utility that separates the "Monitor" EPROM from the "Sequence" EPROM. You need only the Sequence file.
