Tool Number Registration MORISEIKI MV-50 FANUC 6m

[admin]

I recently got a 1984 Mori-Seiki VMC with the Fanuc 6M-B control. Today,
I worked through the installation, setup, and manual procedures with
perfect success, but I ran into a snag with one of the automatic
processing preparation procedures.

The first part of the tool number registration procedure (up to the
problem) is given in the machine manual as follows. (This is as close to
verbatim as I can type it.)

Tool Number Registration
=========================

- Register tool numbers in #4000 - #4024 and #4998 of PC parameters.

PC parameter
N4000 Tool No. (4-digit) to be designated on the spindle
N4001 Tool No. (4-digit) to be designated on a pot
: :
N4020 :
N4998 Next pot No. + Tool No. of tool to be loaded on
the spindle (4 + 4-digit).

- Calling procedure for PC parameters of N4000 numbers.
1. Set the MODE switch to MDI.
2. Set the program editing key to ON.
3. Press the [PRGRM] button on the MDI and DPL panel.
Select PC display on the screen.
4. Press the [N] key on the MDI and DPL panel and press number keys
to set displayed No. + 4000.
5. Press the INPUT button on the MDI and DPL panel.
Next, when the [PAGE DOWN] key is pressed, #4000 = #4019 are
displayed.
To display #4020, press [N], [4020] and [INPUT] buttons in
this sequence. Four-digit table parameters are displayed on
the CRT.
