Selection Guide
Use the following decision flow to select the correct board for your application:
- Identify your CNC series — Check the controller nameplate or FANUC system parameter screen (MDI → SYSTEM → PARAM).
- Record the existing board part number — Located on the PCB silkscreen label (e.g., A20B-2004-038-01).
- Note the revision suffix — The two-digit suffix after the dash (e.g., -01, -02) may affect firmware compatibility.
- Determine condition requirement — New OEM for critical production lines; refurbished/exchange for budget-sensitive maintenance.
- Confirm lead time requirement — In-stock vs. factory order. Contact Konmask for real-time stock status.
- Request a cross-reference check — If substituting with an equivalent model, submit your machine model and software version to support@konmask.com for written confirmation.
