5. How to Fix IO1030 Alarm?
Cause
IO1030 alarm is caused by:
-
Corrupted machining program storage data
Solution
-
Enter IPL screen
-
Select:
-
3. CLEAR FILE
-
-
Delete all machining programs
-
Re-upload programs
⚠️ Note: This is different from clearing programs using the DELETE key during startup.
6. How to Solve EX1096 Alarm?
Cause
EX1096 is a machine builder-defined external alarm, typically related to:
-
Tool clamping timeout
Solution
-
Refer to machine manual
-
Follow manufacturer instructions
-
Contact machine builder for detailed handling
7. What is IPL Screen and How to Handle It?
Explanation
IPL (Initial Program Load) screen may appear when:
-
SYS alarm occurs
-
Reset button is pressed after system error
-
Special key operations are executed
Note
-
Original alarm information may be lost

Contact professional technical support
8. FANUC PROFINET Communication Guide
Overview
In production lines, FANUC CNC systems are often used as PROFINET slave devices.
Requirements
-
Software function support
-
Dedicated hardware board
Configuration Includes
-
IP address
-
Device name
-
I/O mapping to PMC addresses
Diagnostics
-
Use PROFINET maintenance interface
-
Check communication status and device information
9. What is Machining Condition Selection Function?
Function
This feature allows users to balance:
-
Machining efficiency
-
Machining accuracy
Settings
-
Accuracy levels: 1–10
Operation
-
Set via:
-
OFFSET/SETTING → Accuracy Level menu
-
-
Or use command:
-
G5.1 Q1 Rxx
-
Want to open machining condition selection function? Please consult REACO CNC.
10. Why FANUC Servo Motor Torque Formula Does Not Match (T=9550×P/N)?
Explanation
The formula T = 9550 × P / N is a theoretical calculation and may not match actual data due to:
Factors
-
Load inertia ratio
-
Acceleration/deceleration conditions
-
Continuous vs intermittent load
-
Motor speed characteristics
Additional Notes
-
Motor naming includes:
-
Stall torque
-
Maximum speed
-
Example:
-
αiS 12/4000-B → 12 Nm, 4000 rpm
Important
-
FANUC motors support short-term overload operation
-
Refer to motor characteristic curves for accurate selection
