The Memory Disk (C-MOS) is divided into two directories: CMOS Directory MD A: MD B: MD C: MD1: File Contents Parameter Backup Files (PBU) IGF parameter backup files Part Programs Periodically a copy of MD0: directories are backed up to the FR0B: directory. The memory disk is used to store part programs and parameter back up files. This C-MOS memory is referred to as Memory Disk. This long-term storage type of memory is a volatile memory, it needs a battery to retain its contents. Flash memory is divided into the following directories: Flash Directory FR A: FR B: FR C: FR D: FR E: FR F: FR G: File Contents NCOS SVP/TFP MAC MAN Backup of MD0: NC Control Software IGF Robot Loader ATC DNC EC control software (M/C) The second type of memory is C-MOS memory. If so the files have to be Installed into flash memory. Sometimes it might be necessary to re-load the software files due to the memory board being defective or an option being added to the machine. In other words, the files in flash memory are not constantly being updated. The files in flash memory are not directly rewritten via the control. The flash memory is used to store the system files such as the NCOS (numerical control operating system) and *.POL files.

Flash memory is a permanent storage type of memory which is a non-volatile memory, it will not lose its contents when the power is shut off. There are two types of memory on the new OSP 7000 control, Flash and C-MOS. The Management Data Card will also be discussed. In this section Æ refers to the number zero and O or o refers to the letter O. 1 This section will discuss the type of memory, software files and software transfer procedures on the OSP 7000 control.
