The utility disk (D Disk) is needed to back up(save to a diskette) Parameter, Offsets, and
Tool Data etc. The “D” diskette is not needed to reload data.
With software version 709BF and higher, the Punch/Read function can be used to reload
Parameter, Offsets, and Tool Data etc.
To find out what software version the machine has, look at the MAA file in the BB
∅
Direc-
tory. With this version (709BF) and higher, all parameter data can be transferred through a
default file named
A.TOP .
PUNCH on machining centers the Punch/Read function is accessed by going into
/READ Parameter mode.
The FDC (Floppy Disk Drive) is needed to load the system software.
As a precaution, all part programs and parameter data should be saved to a diskette before doing
any work on a machine. This can save hours of down time if the system software has to be re-
loaded. It is possible to load just the B diskette if faulty parameter data is suspected.
Initializing a diskette
When the Okuma disk drive is used, the diskette has to be formatted (initialized) to the OSP
format.
To initialize a diskette do the following:
1. Insert a new diskette into the floppy disk drive.
2. Press EDIT AUX mode key.
3. Press the EXTEND function key ( F8 ) once.
4. Press the INIT function key ( F2 ), the CRT will display:
=IN
5. Type in FD
∅ ∅ ∅ ∅ ∅
: press the WRITE key, the CRT will display:
initialize OK (Y/N)!
If nothing is typed in and the WRITE key is pressed the memory for
the part programs will be erased because BB1 is the default!
6. Type in “ Y ” and press WRITE , the CRT will display:
formatting (Y/N)!
