Fanuc Parameters 3101 Clear Buffer
Fanuc Parameters, does it really annoy you when you swap screens on your Fanuc control and you loose whatever you just typed in?
Well it’s OK, no more sleepless nights. It doesn’t have to be that way thanks to Parameter 3101
Bits n Bobs
When counting the bits in parameters you count from right to left so the first one on the right is bit 0 or sometimes known as #0
Messing With Fanuc Parameters Can Be Fatal!!!!!
To change a Fanuc Parameter you need to go to the setting screen in MDI. Now put a 1 in the parameter write box.
Now We Can Get This Party Started
This is how Parameter 3101 looks in the Fanuc Manual
It’s Fanuc Parameters 3101 bit 1
When this is a zero. If you change screens your code is lost.
Now here’s one I prepared before the show
Vegan Homemade Portabello Mushroom Black Bean Burger with Fries
This is how it works when you change the Fanuc Parameters 3101 to 1
The Dreaded Options Fanuc Parameters
I once bought a new car and naively thought it would be just like the one I saw advertised on the telly.
On some cars everything is a fuckin option. Well unfortunately it can be a bit like that with CNC controls.
It’s not all doom and gloom, a lot of the things you can’t get the control to do are just settings and parameters.
Keep reading my articles and you’ll find out what they are.
All this boring shit really does have a point to it.
If you have a lot of similar controls in your company it’s a good idea to try n set them all up the same way.
Don’t get me started on Haas.
OK You Started It
In my opinion by far the greatest thing about a Haas control is the program restart.
Guess what: most people have it turned off. I would liken it to switching off your central heating in the winter and making a fire with some sticks in the middle of the room.
You can restart anywhere in the program and the machine magically gets its digital shit together.
It gets the right tool, sorts out all the M codes, just about everything. Try it today it’s amazing.

That’s it away you go.
Oh just one other thing before you go off and cripple your machine forever.
Do yourself a favour take a picture of the screen before you change a parameter.
If you aint got a camera then you must have a piece of paper.
Even better back everything up.
