Over on the CNCZone forum, there's a user, John, whose ID is shas595 who
seems to know just about everything about these units and is willing to
help.

You might want to drop him a line.


Thank you kindly, Chuck;

We had actually reached out to him already - but lost contact (presumably 
he got busy, which is hardly a crime). We'll touch base again and catch 
up.


Thank you;

Good arvo all;

A family member recently purchased a rather large CNC which uses a
Micon16-II system (as well as a Fanuc 15M) to drive it. Unfortunately
the battery for the RAM died during storage prior to him getting it and
all of the ladder logic is gone.

We'd really love to try and find some kind of technical manual for the
16-II, or anything really, to assist in talking with the machine and
interrogating it's state. We have a copy of the missing ladder logic in
paper form so we're not totally out of luck, but the ability to enter it
in segments rather in one 40 hour slog might be nice.

If anyone has anything easily sharable we'd very much appreciate the
assistance;

Thank you.
