OVERVIEW
APPENDIX
B63525EN/02
The boot system load the CNC system software (flash RAMDRAM),
then starts it so that software can be executed.
The boot system provides the following maintenance functions for the
CNC:
(1) Registering a file in flash ROM
Reads a file from a memory card, in FAT format, into flash ROM.
(2) Checking a file (series and edition) in flash ROM
C.1.1
Starting the Boot
System
Hold down the two keys until the boot system screen appears.
If soft keys are not provided (for example, when a touch pad is being
used), use the MDI numeric keys. Hold down the 6
keys until the boot system screen appears.

2 When the flash memory does not contain a file required to start the
CNC
Immediately after the CNC is turned on, the boot system starts
transferring files from flash ROM to DRAM. If, for some reason, a
file required to start the CNC (NC basic) is not in flash ROM or has
been destroyed, the boot system is automatically started.
C.1.2
System Files and User
Files
The boot system organizes files in flash ROM into two main groups :
system files and user files. These two file types have the following
characteristics :
System files

APPENDIX
C. BOOT SYSTEM
CAUTION
1 Action to be taken when an SRAM parity error is detected during backup of SRAM in the boot
system
The SRAM area of each CNC shipped from the factory is cleared and is free of parity errors.
However, shock applied to the CNC during transportation may cause a parity error in the SRAM
area. A parity error may also occur in the SRAM area when the CNC was kept switched off for
one year or longer, and the battery has been exhausted. If a parity error occurs in the SRAM
area, the data held in the SRAM area is not guaranteed. However, the CNC does not always
use the entire SRAM area. A parity error is not detected by hardware unless the part containing
the error is read. Therefore, if a parity error occurs in an area not accessed by the CNC, the
CNC may operate normally. The SRAM backup function of the boot system reads the entire
SRAM area. So, a parity error may occur in the middle of backup operation even when the CNC
has operated normally. In this case, the SRAM data of the CNC is not guaranteed, and the data
cannot be backed up using the SRAM backup function of the boot system. Nevertheless, the
CNC may operate normally. So, it is recommended that necessary data be backed up using
the Floppy Cassette or Handy File, data all clear operation be performed, then the backed up
data be restored in the CNC. Once all clear operation is performed, the parity error can be
removed. Then, the SRAM backup function of the boot system can be used.
