Memex Fanuc SRAM Cards

Memex offers Fanuc compatible PCMCIA SRAM backup cards for Fanuc 16/18 Versions B & C, Fanuc Robots, Fanuc 15B and Fanuc i Series Controls.

The SRAM cards offer high-performance nonvolatile memory storage solutions for code transfer and data backup storage applications. With the right driver, the SRAM cards appear as a "Removable Drive" when plugged into a computer - simply "drag and drop" files once configured.

These SRAM cards are based on advanced CMOS technology that draws very low power and has reliable data retention characteristics.

Our SRAM cards contain a rechargeable lithium battery and recharge circuitry, thus eliminating the need for replacement batteries found in many SRAM cards. Typical data retention time, without recharging, is 1 year for a 2MB card. The minimum battery life is 10 years. All our SRAM cards are built in welded stainless steel housings to ensure card integrity and data retention.

 

Features Include:

  • Windows 98 to XP PCMCIA Static RAM Memory Cards that work in Fanuc MEM Card ports.
  • High performance SRAM memory card: 150ns access time
  • Capacities: 1, 2, 4, 6 & 8 Megabytes
  • Operating temperature: Commercial Range of 0° to +70°C
  • Low power CMOS technology provides very low power and reliable data retention characteristics
  • Standby current < 100µA typical - operating current: 190mA maximum for x16 operation at 150ns

Rechargeable lithium battery with recharge circuitry:  eliminates the need to replace the battery.

  • Standby current during recharge typically < 2mA
  • Battery backup time: 1 year typical based on 2MB (lower densities = longer storage times)
  • Unlimited write cycles, no endurance issues

 The following  PCMCIA Cards are available on the following controls..

1. SKU - 2490 - 1 Megabyte PCMCIA Card

2. SKU - 2500 - 2 Megabyte PCMCIA Card

3. SKU - 2510 - 4 Megabyte PCMCIA Card

4. SKU - 2520 - 6 megabyte PCMCIA card

Controls: Fanuc 15 Version B Control, Fanuc 16 Versions B & C Control, Fanuc 15, 16, 18, 20, 21 i Series Control, Fanuc 18 versions B & C, Fanuc Robots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usage Guidelines and Technical Information 

If you want to back up a Fanuc control, get the size one bigger than the memory you have. For example:

CNC Memory                SRAM Card Needed
FROM (8+2Meg)              6 Meg Card
2 Megs (5120M)              4 Meg Card
1.5 Megs (3840M)           4 Meg Card
1 Meg (2560M)                2 Meg Card
512k (1280M)                  1 Meg Card
256k (640M)                    1 Meg Card
128k (320M)                    1 Meg Card

  • So if you have  2 Megabytes (5120 Meters of tape) of Fanuc 16 memory, you would need a 4 Megabyte SRAM card to back it up. Note that Fanuc formats only to 4 meg, although it reads the larger cards.
  • If you are installing  Fanuc 16-MB FROM Board, you will need our 6 or 8 meg SRAM cards as you need to backup the System Firmware + 2 Meg of SRAM...

Fanuc Master Trick:

If  you have a Fanuc (e.g. a RoboDrill) that cannot erase its memory normally (Power On Holding RESET + DELETE or "O" + DELETE), you can use this blank 512k file named SRAM2_5D.FDB (from a Fanuc 16, 2 meg dump) and copy it over and over to the SRAM Card with the appropriate names to make the CNC notice the files in the directory. Once reloaded, the sequential blank files will have effectively cleared the memory.

Laptop PCMCIA SRAM Format Note:

Although the PCMCIA SRAM cards we ship are already formatted, if you need to format the SRAM cards on your laptop use the following DOS format procedure:

  • Insert the SRAM card in a Type II PCMCIA card slot;
  • In Explorer see if the card mounts - if not you may need to format the card;
  • Hit START and RUN and type in CMD to get the MS-DOS Command prompt;
  • If you know the drive letter it should be, then type...
    • At the command prompt, type "format d: /fs:fat"  <-- if the card mounts in D: drive
    • The System label can be anything - Fanuc uses "FANUC LTD"
    • You should be able to go to D: drive and copy files...

SRAM Card Driver Information and utilities:

Windows 2000** / XP:   [Installxp2k.pdf file opens in a new window]

** These drivers and instructions are for Internal readers or readers in laptops.
This is provided as a work around only.

For the best results with SRAM cards in Windows 2000/XP use an external reader or a software package that supports SRAM cards under these operating systems.
