The exact range for option parameters varies slightly depending on the FANUC control model:
Depending on your specific control model (e.g., Series 0, 10, 15, 18, 31i), these parameters vary. Below is a list of common system and option parameters found in the 9000 range:
FANUC 9000-series parameters are Option Parameters . They are typically protected by a password (often 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or a specific OEM code). These parameters enable or disable hardware/software options on a CNC control (e.g., 0i, 16i, 18i, 30i series). They are NOT standard axis or operation parameters (like 1000-8000 series).
Remote buffer, DNC operation parameters, high-speed skip functions. Rigid tapping enablement, spindle orientation functions. 💾 How to Backup 9000-Series Programs and Parameters fanuc 9000 parameters list
0 = 9000-series programs are unlocked, visible, and editable. Fanuc 0-M / 0-T (Older Legacy Controls) 1 = 9000-series programs are protected. 0 = 9000-series programs are open for editing. Fanuc 10M / 11M / 12M Parameter 2201 Bit 0 (NE9) 1 = 9000-series programs are locked. 0 = 9000-series programs are unlocked. Related 8000-Series Program Parameters
What is the (e.g., 0i-TF, 18i-MB, 31i-B)?
By default, machine tool builders lock programs numbered 9000 to 9999 to prevent accidental deletion of critical tool change (ATC) scripts, probing macros, and axis alignment subprograms. Trying to edit these programs while locked throws a or "WRITE PROTECT" error. How to Unlock 9000 Programs via Parameter 3202 The exact range for option parameters varies slightly
| Parameter | Bit | Function | Description | |-----------|-----|----------|-------------| | 9100 | 0 | Helical interpolation | Arc + linear axis | | 9101 | 0 | Thread cutting | G32, G34, G76 | | 9102 | 0 | Synchronous tapping | Rigid tapping G84.2/G84.3 | | 9103 | 0 | Polar coordinate interpolation | For grinding/lathe | | 9110 | 0 | Tool life management | Tool life data | | 9111 | 0 | Tool offset pairs | Extends offset memory | | 9200 | 0 | Manual guide i | Conversational programming | | 9201 | 0 | Manual guide 0i | | | 9300 | 0 | DNC operation | Remote buffer/RS-232 |
Note: Turn PWE back to 0 immediately after finishing edits to restore machine safety. 📋 Essential FANUC 9000 Parameter Reference List
The is the master key to your CNC’s capability. While standard parameters tune the machine, the 9000 series defines the machine. Rigid tapping enablement, spindle orientation functions
Note: Always set NE9 back to 1 after finishing your edits to ensure the macro files remain safe from accidental operator deletion. G-Code and M-Code Calling Parameters (6050–6089)
| Program Number | Common Use | |---|---| | | Tool change macro for lathes (often called by T‑code) | | O9001 | Automatic tool change (ATC) sequence for machining centers | | O9002–O9009 | Custom probing cycles | | O9010–O9019 | Pallet change routines | | O9020–O9029 | Custom M‑code macros (e.g., M91 calls O9001) |
Type 9000 and press the NO. SHIFT or SEARCH button. You will now see the hidden parameters.
