Host PC Requirements
Note
Some optional software may require a more powerful PC then those listed below.
Please consult with your GE Fanuc sales engineer for the PC requirements.

Minimum Requirements (for Running the Drivers and BOP)

The minimum requirements for installing any of the High Speed Serial Bus Interface software on
a personal computer are:

Windows 95
• 32-Bit Version : 75MHz Pentium or higher processor with 16MB memory
• 16-Bit Version : 50MHz CPU or higher processor with 12MB memory

Windows NT
• 32-Bit Version : 120MHz Pentium or higher processor with 32MB memory
• 16-Bit Version : Not available

Recommended Environment (for Running the Drivers and BOP)

The recommended environment for installing the High Speed Serial Bus Interface on a personal
computer are:

Windows 95
• 32-Bit Version : 120MHz Pentium or higher processor with 32MB memory
• 16-Bit Version : 75MHz CPU or higher processor with 24MB memory

Windows NT
• 32-Bit Version : 150MHz Pentium or higher processor with 64MB memory
• 16-Bit Version : Not available

GFK-1422C Chapter 1 Getting Started 1-3

 1

Common
• One 16-bit ISA slot.
• 100 Megabyte hard disk capacity (20 required for GE Fanuc software).
• VGA (or better) monitor.
Based on a typical Microsoft Windows environment a faster CPU speed and more RAM memory
equals better performance of the High Speed Serial Bus system.

GE Fanuc Control Requirements

This section covers the required software version for the various control types that support HSSB.
The versions listed here are the minimum required for using any of the GE Fanuc supplied open
system software. The parameters listed are the minimum recommended parameters that should be
set. To run either a custom-developed user application, the Basic Operation Package (BOP) or the
ladder edit package, some optional features and parameter settings may be required. The
following is a partial list that identifies some of the CNC options requiring additional parameter
setup.

• Tool Offset Data

• Program Restart
• Alarm History Data
• Custom Macro Variable Data
• Work Offset Data
• Software Operator Panel
• Communications

For more information, refer to the Windows 95/Windows NT 32-Bit Drivers and Libraries for
Open CNC Systems Reference Manual (GFK-1365) or Power Mate H/D Motion Controller(High
Speed Serial Bus Function) Operator's Manual. (GFZ-62684EN-1).

requirements identified in Chapter 1, “Getting Started.”
3. Remove the plastic cover from the half slot on the power supply of the CNC.
4. Remove the anti-static packaging from the CNC-based High Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) printed
circuit board.
5. Insert the CNC-based printed circuit board into the power supply slot of the CNC, as shown
in the figures below.

Installing HSSB in the PC

1. Open the personal computer, and locate the spare 16-bit ISA slot.
2. Remove the anti-static packaging from the PC-based High Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) printed
circuit board.
3. Holding the card with the rotary switches up and facing you ,the rotary switches can be seen
from the side on single port cards(Figure 2-10) or from the top view on dual port cards(Figure
2-11), the address is read from right to left with the last zero implied. The card is factory set
to 028 (280hex) (LMN0 to LMNF).

changed please remember the new address setting as it will be required when installing the
32-Bit Drivers and Libraries.
5. Remove the cover from the ISA slot, and insert the PC-based printed circuit board.
6. You must re-install the ISA slot setting screw in order to hold the printed circuit board firmly
in place.
7. Replace the logic rack cover on your personal computer.

Note

Installing a Fiber Optic Cable between the PC and the CNC

Note
During the time that the Fiber optic cable and HSSB PCB's are not being used
attach the protect caps. This will help guard against failure of the equipment due
to dust and stains.

Important
Use a clear tissue or absorbent cotton pad to clean the fiber optic
connection. Cotton with ethyl alcohol is acceptable. No other organic solvent
can be used.

Please keep the follow points in mind while handling the fiber optic cable.
• Sharp objects and heavy weights can damage the fiber optic cable.
• When connecting or disconnecting the fiber optic cable always grasp the cable by the
connector NEVER pull on the cable.
• The fiber optic connector is automatically locked into place by the locking tab when inserted
into a HSSB board. Always remember to depress the locking tab when removing the fiber
optic cable.
• Damage to the fiber optic cable may occur if the cable is inserted backwards. Verify that the
locking tab on the connector and the HSSB board are on the same side before connecting the
cable. Minimal effort should be required to seat the connector and the locking tab will engage
if the connector is inserted properly.

1. Unpack the fiber optic cable.

Figure 2 - 16. Fiber Optic Cable Bending Recommendations.

GFK-1422C Chapter 2 Hardware 2 - 11

 2

Caution
Do not bend the fiber optic cable past the recommended bend radius. If you
do, irreparable damage will occur.

2. Remove the plastic protective caps from the fiber optic cable (see Figure below).

Figure 2 - 17. Protective Caps for Fiber Optic Cable

3. Remove the plastic protective plugs from the PC-based and the CNC-based HSSB printed
circuit boards.
4. Plug in the two ends of the fiber optic cable. (The ends are interchangeable.)

If pulling the cable through a cable track or like fixture never pull the cable by the fiber optical
connector. Using a good quality tape attach a wire with hook or a tension member to the cover of
the fiber optic cable. Pull on the wire with hook or the tension member to feed the fiber optic cable
along the desired path.

NC IPL Menu
After you close NCBOOT32 from the boot function the following screen appears. Choosing IPL
provides access to NC setup data , NC file clearing, Option configuration, and server maintenance
features. For more information on using these features, see the NC maintenance manual

Once you choose IPL the IPL Service menu will appear. This menu allows maintenance
personnel to clear and set up the NC software menus. It also allows access to the IPL (Initial
Program Loading) mode.

Multi-HSSB Card Boot Example

If the selected open system consists of multiple NC systems connected to a single PC via multiple
HSSB cards, each NC can have a boot function window. This enables you to view multiple
systems simultaneously.

Setting the HSSB Mode Switch to 1

This is the normal setting. The start-up BOOT function displays are not shown, and the operator
has no access to Boot or IPL mode. This mode varies depending on the control type (see below).

CNC
In this mode the CNC will not finish the boot process until NCBOOT32 running on the host PC
has connected with the control.

Power Mate D/H

In this mode the Power Mate D/H will finish the boot process independent of the host PC's
condition.

 4

Setting the HSSB Mode Switch to 2

The CNC will boot without the Open CNC PC connection. This selection can be used where a
CRT/MDI is the primary operator interface and the PC is not always powered up.
This switch setting is not supported on the Power Mate D/H.

Troubleshooting
If, after installing the Type II HSSB software, the HSSB does not operate correctly, try these
troubleshooting suggestions:
1. Check to see if any other PC-vendor printed circuit board is using the HSSB assigned I/O
address.
2. Check the switch settings on the CNC-based HSSB printed circuit board. The switch should
be set to 1 to start up in normal mode. (If you change the setting, remember to cycle CNC
power.)
3. Reboot the PC and look at Windows 95 Boot Log or Windows NT Event Log for errors that
HSSB Driver(mmcncd) is not installed.
4. Verify that the target NC has the correct software and option enabled (see Chapter 1).
5. Verify that the green LED located on the HSSB PC printed circuit board is ON after the NC/
PC boot. This LED is visible from the rear of the PC next to the fiber optic connection.
6. Reboot the PC and NC after changing any setup configuration data.
7. If using a 200V CNC HSSB card verify the LED display reads "7" after the CNC and PC
finish booting.
