Initialize, Format and Load Canned Cycles with an Electronic Backup for L16/L20 Machines
Purpose:
To initialize, format and load canned cycles from a brain dead control on a Citizen 300 series control
with an electronic backup.
Overview:
The procedure will take a locked up or brain dead control and restore the control back into working
condition. This procedure may need to be done if the battery fails, the control is powered off for a
long time or if the CPU fails. After the memory contents are erased and formatted then the canned
cycles and data can be loaded back in and the control will be back up to prior operation.
\Tools Needed:
• Electronic copy of machine data
• Small flat head screwdriver
Instructions:
I. Reinitializing the Control
A. Power Off the control.
B. On the MC116 set dip switches 1 and 3 to the right.
C. Power On the control.
D. The two green LED’s on the MC116 will turn on, then off and then on again. (The lights may
turn on and off real quickly. Wait at least 30 seconds before going to the next step.)
E. Power Off the control.
F. Set dip switch 2 to the right as well so the top three dip switches are to the right.
G. Power on the control for 1 minute. (This does a board recognition, you will not notice anything in
particular on the control or screen when doing this.)
H. Power Off the control.
I. Set dip switches 1 and 2 back to the left on the MC116.
J. On the MC116 keep dip switch 3 to the right.
II. Setting the Control Back into English
A. Power On the control.
B. Press [DGN] hard key.
C. Press [I/F] soft key.
D. Type in 1001 for device and M for mode.

E. Press Input. (If done correctly the 1001 and M will disappear.)
F. Press [PRA] hard key.
G. Press Left soft key.
H. Page over to page 5/7 or 8/10.
I. Change parameter #24 lang to a 1.
#( 24)Data( 1)

Appendix:
If you get M02 need R.P. RTN alarm message just zero return all axis on the machine
individually. You may need to open up the soft limits if you get alarm M01 0007 while trying to
home out the axis the first time after doing this procedure. After you get the axis zero returned
check home return positions and adjust zero points if necessary by adjusting parameter
G28SFT.
