List Upd — Fanuc Parameter
It is important to note that not every parameter in the list is publicly changeable. FANUC divides data into parameters (approximately 1800 items) and "Secret" (Option) parameters.
Many parameters (marked with an asterisk in the manual) require a full machine power-off and power-on to take effect.
Occurs when attempting to change parameters without setting PWE to 1, or failing to set it back to 0.
Before diving deeper, it is crucial to understand how FANUC structures these values. The entire FANUC parameter list is generally divided into two main groups: fanuc parameter list upd
Reboot the CNC while simultaneously holding down the two rightmost softkeys under the screen to enter the menu.
Ensure the machine is not running a program. Place the control in MDI (Manual Data Input) mode.
Parameters are not universally interchangeable between different generations of FANUC controls. A parameter list optimized for a FANUC 0i-MD will cause critical errors if loaded directly onto a FANUC 16i-M or 31i-B system. It is important to note that not every
Parameter Write Enable (PWE) is set to 0, or the memory protect key switch on the operator panel is locked.

⚠️ This overwrites parameters. Only do this with a correct, verified backup. Occurs when attempting to change parameters without setting
Before changing a single digit, perform a full SRAM backup or output your parameters to a USB/PCMCIA card. Enable PWE (Parameter Write Enable): Set the machine to MDI Mode . Press [OFFSET/SETTING] and find the "Setting" page.
Finding a complete, up-to-date can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack because these settings are often specific to the control series (like 0i-MF, 31i-B, or the older 6M) and the machine tool builder's integration.
| Parameter Number(s) | Function / Adjustment | Notes & Common Applications | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | I/O Channel | Sets the data interface used for data transfer (0: RS232, 4: CF Card, 17: USB). | | 103 | Baud Rate | Sets the communication speed for RS232 transfer (11:9600 bps, 12:19200 bps). | | 1320 / 1321 | Software Limits (+) | Set the machine's maximum travel limits in positive (+) and negative (-) directions. | | 1420 | Rapid Traverse Rate | Defines the G00 rapid speed for each axis. | | 1422 | Maximum Cutting Feedrate | Defines the maximum allowed speed for all cutting movements (G01, G02, G03). | | 1815 | APC / Absolute Position | Often used to set or reset the machine's reference point position. | | 1825 | Position Loop Gain | Adjusts the rigidity and servo response of an axis; must be balanced between axes for accuracy. | | 1851 | Backlash Compensation (G01) | Compensates for mechanical play (backlash) during cutting movements. | | 1852 | Backlash Compensation (G00) | Compensates for mechanical play (backlash) during rapid traverse movements. | | 4077 | Spindle Orientation Stop | Fine-tunes the angular stop position of the spindle for tool changes. | | 6071-6079 | User-defined M-codes | Assigns a custom program number to an unused M-code (e.g., setting M-code 100 to run O9010). |
