Fanuc Open CNC Setup Procedure For Windows 95 NT 40
Fanuc Open CNC Setup Procedure For Windows 95 NT 40
1. Overview
When Microsoft’s operating system, Windows 95(both Japanese and English version) and
Windows NT Workstation 4.0(both Japanese and English version), are ordered as the OS for
the personal computer(PC) module of PC-integrated i-Series and Intelligent Terminal Type 2 of
FANUC Open CNC, these OSs are shipped in the form of CD-ROM from FANUC.
It is necessary to configure the PC module so that it can use the CD-ROM drive by purchasing
the proper hardware and software from the PC market when the installation of the additional
software drivers or re-installation of the OS itself is required, because the PC module of the
Open CNC does not have the CD-ROM drive.
This manual describes the handling of the CD-ROM drive using the PCMCIA card socket and
the installation procedure of the Open CNC drivers at Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
FANUC shipped Windows 95(Japanese/English version) with the OS backup medium in the
form of FLOPPY DISK until the following changing date. But the order number for Windows
95 has been changed because the OS backup medium is changed from FLOPPY DISK to CD-
ROM. So, old order number cannot be used for the new ordering specification.
2.1. Re-installation of OS
FANUC ships the CD-ROM and one Setup Boot Disk as the OS media for PC-integrated i-
Series and Intelligent Terminal Type 2 of Open CNC(hereafter, "Device"). When you re-install
Windows 95 to the hard disk, you will use this Setup Boot Disk in order to boot the OS and let
the OS recognize the CD-ROM drive. At this time, PCMCIA SCSI card and CD-ROM drive
having the SCSI interface are required as the hardware, and moreover, PCMCIA card service
and SCSI card driver are also required as the software. However, these software are not
included in the Setup Boot Disk shipped from FANUC.
There are several types of PCMCIA SCSI cards, CD-ROM drives having the SCSI interface,
PCMCIA card services in the PC market, FANUC has checked the usage of the following
items.
We are sorry to trouble you, but please purchase SlimSCSI, the CD-ROM drive, and
PlayAtWill, separately. And please make up the Setup Boot Disk according to the instructions
described in the text file, Readme.txt,
Readme.txt stored in the same Setup Boot Disk. Then use it for the
OS boot-up and re-installation of the OS.
In case of the PC module which has MMX-Pentium Card PC, when you re-install Windows
95, do not leave the settings as the default, but select the following settings.
1. Select “Custom
Custom”
Custom at Setup Options screen of the Windows 95 Setup Wizard.

In case of Windows NT 4.0, FANUC ships the CD-ROM and three Setup Disks as the OS
media for PC-integrated i-Series and Intelligent Terminal Type 2 of Open CNC(hereafter,
"Device"). When you re-install Windows NT to the hard disk, you will use these Setup Disks in
order to boot the OS and let the OS recognize the CD-ROM drive. At this time, PCMCIA SCSI
card and CD-ROM drive having the SCSI interface are required as the hardware.
As for the hardware used at re-installation of Windows NT 4.0, FANUC has checked the
following items.
After connecting these hardware properly to the PC module of the Open CNC, boot Windows
NT from the Setup Disks and install the OS.
After installing Windows NT 4.0 to the PC module of the Open CNC using the Setup Disks,
install the various drivers of the Open CNC. These drivers are stored in the “Open CNC
Drivers Disk (A02B-0207-K791 Ed. 01.1 or later, or A02B-0207-K792 Ed. 01.0 or later)”.
In this section, the procedures for installing the following drivers are described.

4 MDI key driver
As for the Touch panel driver and the MDI key driver, install each driver only in case your
Open CNC system is configured with Touch panel or MDI key.
You must install these drivers in the above order. Especially for the Open CNC system which
has both Touch panel and MDI key, you must install the Touch panel driver first, and then
install the MDI key driver. Otherwise, the restoration setup by Windows NT Setup Disk will
be required.
In order to install these drivers, you must have the Administrator privilege. Please logon to
Windows NT as the Administrator.
4. Click [Have Disk…] button. Insert the first "Open CNC Drivers Disk(A02B-0207-

PC-integrated i-Series and Intelligent Terminal Type 2 (hereafter, “Device”) have High
Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) Type 2 interface in them.
The Device without ISA extension unit uses I/O port address 280H - 28FH as HSSB
interface. This I/O address cannot be changed.
In case of the Device with ISA extension unit, you can select the I/O port addresses by the
rotary switches. In case of HSSB multi-connection, determine the I/O port addresses so as
not to conflict with the other HSSB interface boards and the other computer resources,
before doing the following steps.
Each Device which has HSSB interface is given “Node” number and distinguished by node
number at Windows. This is true for the Device which has only one HSSB interface (its node
number equals to 0).
