INTRODUCTION
Basics of the Fanuc Series 11 CNC Control
The Fanuc Series 11 CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) was manufactured by Fanuc Fujitsu
Ltd. from 1985 through 1994 and is still regarded by many people in the manufacturing world as the
most reliable CNC control Fanuc has ever made. The Fanuc 11 was also the most popular CNC
control worldwide until the advent of the Fanuc 0 Series CNC. Fanuc 11 controls were used
primarily on 2-4 axis milling machines, lathes, robots, and fabrication equipment.
Fanuc Series 11 controls use a memory technology based on magnetic bubble memory that was
originally developed by Texas Instruments and licensed to Hitachi in Japan. This is a non-volatile
technology that has no memory loss when power is removed. Bubble memory technology is well
suited for CNC controls, as it allows for the permanent storage of the control parameters, as well as
the N/C code programs, without requiring constant power for memory refreshing.
The memory for a Fanuc Series 11 control is packaged on a circuit board made by Hitachi, for Fanuc,
called a BMU (Bubble Memory Unit). It attaches to the Main masterboard of the CNC control. The
Fanuc Series 11 control is designed to accommodate various sizes of memory depending on the
model and software version of the control. The memory amounts are represented in units of Meters
of memory, which refers to the length of a punched paper tape that holds N/C programs. Fanuc
Series 11 controls could use from a minimum of 80M to a maximum of 5120M of memory. In
computer terms, this represents a low of about 32,000 bytes to a high of about 2,048,000 bytes of
N/C program memory  with each byte representing a single character of data.
The standard method of loading N/C programs into a Fanuc Series 11 control was by reading in
punched paper tape. This type of technology was well established in the manufacturing environment
at the time of the introduction of the Fanuc 11 control. In addition, the Fanuc Series 11 control was
fitted with a bi-directional RS-232 serial port, as well as a 20ma Current Loop port for connection to
ASR33/43 Teletype units. An external tape punch machine to punch the N/C tape out of the CNC
control’s memory used a parallel interface using the standard Facit 4070.
With the rise of Personal Computers (PC’s) through the 1980’s and 1990’s, PC based CAM
(Computer Aided Manufacturing) systems became popular as the tool to create N/C programs for
CNC controls. The PC’s built-in RS-232 serial port was the most efficient way to transfer N/C
programs to the Fanuc 11 control and receive the edited programs back from the control for purposes
of off-line storage. The maximum data rate that the RS-232 port on the Fanuc control can use is
9600 baud, which is approximately 960 characters per second. When you are uploading an N/C
program from a PC to the Fanuc 11 control using the RS-232 port however, the effective throughput
drops to only about 4800 baud. This is because the CNC control must “pre-compile” the ASCII text
of the N/C program into a specially encrypted binary format, that is then stored on the BMU. This
process limits the speed of uploading to Bubble Memory, as well as machine execution during Direct
Numerical Control operation.
HSL/MME11 INSTALLATION MANUAL 1-3
INTRODUCTION
A popular use for CNC machine tools is the machining of complex 3-D sculptured surfaces for
plastic injection molds, or for the graphite electrodes used by EDM machines to “burn” complex
surfaces. The N/C programs that create these surfaces are often much larger than the largest 2MB
Bubble that the Fanuc 11 control can take. A special mode of operation call “TAPE MODE” will
allow the CNC control to overcome this limitation. Programs larger than the CNC control’s usable
N/C program memory, can be run “directly” a block at a time, as if a very large paper tape was being
used. This function is called DNC (Direct Numerical Control).
When a Fanuc 11 control is in “Tape” or a DNC mode, there are limitations as to the speed at which
that program can run. When direct DNC is used with the multitude of short X, Y, Z moves that
usually make up 3-D sculptured surfaces, this data must be read in as ASCII text, parsed for it’s
content, and then the actual physical move must be made. All these functions add overhead time to
the running of an N/C program and usually mean that a feed rate of no more than 25 Inches Per
Minute (IPM) can be used in a direct DNC mode. When the exact same program is loaded into the
Fanuc 11 memory, it can often be run 300% faster, because operation from CNC memory does not
incur this overhead.
The HSL/MME board overcomes all of the Fanuc 11 memory and DNC limitations by replacing the
BMU with very fast, modern SRAM memory chips and 10BaseT Ethernet access.
Using Memex’s NetDNC and MxServer the HSL5 can automatically load files via Ethernet
HSL/MME11 INSTALLATION MANUAL 1-4
INTRODUCTION
Backup Parameters It is a good idea to make a manual backup of all information in the BMU
before proceeding (if possible). The HSL/MME contains no useful
information when shipped, and as such the following data must be reloaded:
NC parameters, PC parameters, tool offsets, part programs, macro variables (if
applicable), and so on.
Considerations
Please consider the following points when installing the HSL/MME board:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The installation of the HSL/MME should be conducted with care.
Never install or remove a board with the control power on.
Take care with the handling of the HSL/MME and BMU as they are static
sensitive.
Keep the boards in the anti-static bags provided.
Take care not to place the circuit boards on a metal surface, as the backup
battery could suffer damage if shorted.
Do not place the HSL/MME in any other slot on the Fanuc masterboard,
other than the slot labeled BMU.
Do not force, drop or otherwise mishandle the boards during the
installation procedure.
Always check the functionality of the machine at the end of the installation
(i.e. move the axes, perform a tool change, run a program, etc.).

BACKUP YOUR CONTROL
CHAPTER 2: BACKUP YOUR CONTROL
Before starting the installation, power on the control and verify that the
machine tool is in good working order. If the control has a system error, or the
BMU is inoperable, you will have to replace your memory board with the
HSL3/MME, and restore the information from existing backup sources.
Important!
Backup the following BMU memory contents: NC parameters, PC Parameters,
Tool Offsets, Pitch Error Compensation, and Part Programs (if applicable). All
of this information is contained in the Bubble Memory Unit (BMU) and must
be restored; therefore all of this information must either be written down or
punched out of the control via the RS-232 serial port. Use the “Fanuc System
11 Machine Parameter Worksheet” provided on page 6-7 to record the
important parameter data. Use the following procedures to save the data on a
computer. If in doubt, consult your Fanuc manuals, as they are your ultimate
authority on your particular version of control.
1. Set up your computer to receive data through its COM port and connect it
to your Fanuc control. Set the communication parameters on your PC for 7
data bits, and the stop bits and baud rate as determined by the applicable
parameters for your control. Please refer to the “Fanuc 11 Technical

USING THE PARAMETER SENTRY SYSTEM
The Memex Memory Engine’s Parameter Sentry System is unique and
extremely simple to use. The system offers protection of your Fanuc’s first
1280 meters (512K) of memory, thus protecting all of your NC system
parameters, PC parameters, Tool Offset data, Pitch Error Compensation data
and System data. Note that part programs are not included. All of these
parameters are stored in Non-Volatile Flash ROM (EEPROM). This memory
is Non-Volatile meaning that it does not require a backup power source of any
kind and is a permanent and convenient form of storing your critical control
parameters.
Note: Be sure there are no programs loaded into memory above 512K as the
parameter sentry system may accidentally same portions of a program if there
is one resident in high memory when the save is performed.
To use the Parameter Sentry System, power on your Fanuc control and bring
the CRT to the Position screen. Open the control cabinet of the Fanuc control.
Make sure that the power remains ON when you open the door to the cabinet.
While holding the toggle switch at the bottom of the Memex HSL3/MME
board toward the “SAVE” position, momentarily PUSH the “PARAM
SENTRY” button, then release the toggle switch. You should notice the LED
adjacent to the toggle switch light up for approximately 1 second. This will
save your Fanuc system parameters.
To RESTORE your parameters, reverse the above procedure. Make sure that
your Fanuc CNC is turned on and that you have access to the Memex
HSL3/MME. While holding the toggle switch toward “RESTORE”,
momentarily PUSH the “PARAM SENTRY” button, then release the toggle
switch. Again, you should notice the “Restore” LED light up for 1 second.
Power off your control, then power on again for the saved parameters to take
effect.

APPENDIX D: GLOSSARY
ANSI - American National Standards Institute - The official U.S. agency and voting
representative for ISO. ANSI develops information exchange standards above 50M bps.
ASCII - American Standard Code for Informational Interchange - A seven bit alphanumeric code
used extensively in data communications. A parity bit is often added to the seven bit code for error
detection.
ASR 33 - An asynchronous serial interface standard that specifies the electrical, functional and
mechanical interface specification between data communicating devices. Also known as “Current
Loop”.
ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION - The transmission of characters separated by time
intervals that vary in length, usually in accordance with the key entries of a terminal operator. Start
and stop bits are used to identify (Frame) the beginning and end of the asynchronously transmitted
character.
BAUD RATE - The rate at which a signal is changed or modulated. Baud rate is directly related to
the number of bits transmitted per second.
BINARY - A base-2 number system consisting of 1’s and 0’s. The numbering system used by
computer processors.
BMU- Refers to a Fanuc Bubble Memory Unit; a non-volatile storage device used on older CNC
machines to store programs and other parameter data.
BTR Behind the Tape Reader - An electronic input device used to emulate a tape readers signals
on a machine control. They usually convert some form of serial communication to the parallel tape
reader signals.
CNC Computerized Numerical Control - An industrial computer that is used to control the axis
and movement of a machine. E.g. lathe, mill, welder, grinder, etc. A CNC usually uses programs
coded with G-codes and M-codes.
CONTROL - Refers to a computerized Numerical Control (CNC).
CTS Clear To Send - One of the control lines used in RS-232 communication. Found on pin 4 or 5
on a DB-25 and pin 4 or 8 on a DB-9.
CURRENT LOOP - A serial interface standard that has evolved from the old electromechanical
teletype which used current to activate its relays. Typically 20 ma or 60 ma is turned on and off in
accordance with the binary serial data.
DCE Data Communication Equipment - Typically a modem or date set used to interface a
terminal or computer to the telephone lines.
DNC Direct Numeric Control or Distributed Numeric Control - A means of communicating or
“Drip Feeding’ a program to a CNC through a tape reader or serial interface. The program code is
acted upon immediately block by block as it is read by the control.
DTE Data Terminal Equipment - In data communications, it is an end user or termination circuit,
typically a terminal or computer.
ECHO - A reflected signal. Information is sent back to the transmitter from the receiver, often for
verification purposes.
EIA Electronic Industries Organization - A United States organization of manufacturers that
establishes and recommends industrial standards. They developed the EIA standard code used in
early NC and CNC communications.
FRAMING - The procedure used to identify the beginning and end of a group of data bits.
FRAMING ERROR - This type of error occurs when a receiver loses synchronization to the
incoming data.
HANDSHAKING - A process that regulates and controls the flow of data between two devices.
HARDWARE HANDSHAKE - Handshaking by use of the RTS and CTS control lines on a RS232 serial interface.
HEXADECIMAL - A base-16 number system consisting of the numbers 0 through 9 as well as
the letters A through F, A representing 10 and F representing 15. The numbering system used by
computer programs.
ISO - International Standards Organization - One of the largest and most widely recognized
standards organizations in the world.
ISO - A form of data encryption similar to ASCII. It is a form of 7 bit ASCII with even parity used
largely on CNC’s.
LED - Light Emitting Diode - A device that converts electrical energy to light energy.
LOCAL ECHO - When a terminal is configured to internally route its transmitted character around
to its receiver section for display, a local echo is said to be generated.
MARK - A logic 1.
MDI - Manual Data Input. The method of entering data into a CNC by typing it in by hand.
MODEM - A contraction of the words modulator/demodulator - The modem converts a computer’s
digital bit stream into an analog suitable for the telephone lines and vice versa.
PAPER TAPE - A media of program code storage. Holes were punched in the paper tape to
represent different program codes. These tapes were then read through a tape reader to be loaded into
C.N.C. memory.
PARAMETER WRITE - A switch that allows editing of a CNC’s parameters. See PWE.
PARITY - An error detection method whereby a single bit is added to a group of bits to make the
total number of 1 bits either even or odd.
PARITY ERROR - Indicates that the total number of 1 bits in a received character does not agree
with the even or odd parity bit sent with the character.
PART PROGRAM - A computer program that is designed to execute on a CNC machine. This
program when run, describes the path the machine needs to follow to create a specified part
(component).
PWE - Parameter Write Enable. A switch that allows editing of a CNC’s parameters. PWE is a
toggle switch labeled Parameter Write, located in the lower left corner of a Fanuc 6 masterboard. It is
the right-most bit (0) of SETTING parameter 8000 on a Fanuc 11 or 12 control.
RI Ring Indicator - One of the control lines used by modems in RS-232 communication. Found on
pin 18 on a DB-25 and pin 9 on a DB-9.
RS-232-C - An asynchronous serial interface standard that specifies the electrical, functional and
mechanical interface specification between data communicating devices.
RTS Request To Send - One of the control lines used in RS-232 communication. Found on pin 4 or
5 on a DB-25 and pin 4 or 8 on a DB-9.
RTS/CTS - “Hardware” handshaking using the RTS and CTS control lines.
Rx - Receive Data.
SG - Signal Ground. Pin 7 on a DB-25 connector, pin 5 on a 9 pin connector.
START BIT - The first bit used to frame an asynchronously transmitted character. Its logic level is
a 0 (space).
STOP BIT(S) - The last bit used to frame an asynchronously transmitted character. Its logic level is
a logic 1 (mark).
SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION - High speed communication whereby data characters are
sent in direct succession to each other without the use of Start and Stop bits.
TAPE READER - Input device used on CNC machines and other industrial equipment. Used to
“read” coded data on a punched paper tape. Older tape readers were a mechanical device; today tape
readers use optical devices that sense light passing through the holes in the tape.
TERMINAL - An input/output device used by an operator to communicate with a host computer. It
consists of a keyboard and a display to monitor alphanumeric characters entered at the keyboard or
received from a remote device.
TIME-OUT ERROR - This type of error occurs when a device fails to respond to a message within
a given period of time.
TTY Teletype - Used in the Telex exchange. An electromechanical terminal consisting of a
keyboard, printer, paper tape reader and punch. Teletype is a trade mark of the former Teletype
Corporation.
Tx - Transmit Data.
XOFF transmit Off - A device control character (DC3 or $13h) used to control the flow of data
between two devices. XOFF is used as a handshake with XON.
XON/XOFF - “software” handshaking using the XON and XOFF control characters.
XON Transmit On - A device control character (DC1 or $11h) used to control the flow of data
between two devices. XON is used as a handshake with XOFF.
