For the import of the PMC variables, the export files generated by the program FANUC Ladder III can be used.
Each line defining a PMC variable needs to match the following syntax:
<Variable name>,<PMC address>,<comment1>,<comment2><cr><lf>
Where
<Variable name>: Is the name of the variable (letters and digits),: Is the separator. Therefore this character must not be used within any name or comment<PMC address>: Is the address of the PMC variable, with the following syntax:
[<unit>]<area><start address>[.<bit number>]
<unit>: An optional digit defining the unit. If omitted the unit is 1.<area>: A letter from the set [GFXYARTKCDMNEZ], defining the PMC area<start address>: The address within the PMC area.<bit number>: An optional bit number, separated by a dot (only for Boolean values)<comment1> and <comment2>: are optionally comments<cr><lf>: Are the carriage-return and line-feed characters, ending the line.For example, a PMC variable definition file may have the following content:
%@2-E(SYM=1 ADR=2 CM1=3 CM2=4)
