The A20B-3300 series is FANUC's comprehensive family of plug-in CPU modules — the processor cards that provide the central processing capability in FANUC CNC main boards. Confirmed through this session, the series spans an extensive range of processor generations and CNC platforms:
486-class modules (029x range):
Standard Pentium modules (031x range):
Pentium MMX modules (060x range):
High-memory and advanced modules:
The A20B-3300-0632 at the 063x position extends the module family — in the range immediately beyond the confirmed Pentium MMX modules (060x), indicating an advanced or extended-capability processor module for a specific FANUC CNC or automation platform.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Part Number | A20B-3300-0632 |
| Series | A20B-3300 |
| Position | 063x (beyond the Pentium MMX 060x range) |
| Type | CPU/Processor module |
| Application | FANUC CNC control |
All A20B-3300 modules share the plug-in architecture:
Board-to-board connection: The CPU module plugs into a defined socket on the CNC main board. All power, data bus, address bus, and control signals transfer through this connector interface.
Modular replaceability: The processor and its on-board DRAM are replaced as one unit. Main board, FROM, and SRAM modules are undisturbed during CPU module replacement.
Non-destructive data replacement: Replacing a CPU module leaves all stored CNC data intact — parameters in SRAM, system software in FROM, programmes in SRAM are unaffected.
CNC processor fault: A FANUC CNC system develops CPU-level faults — boot failures, processing errors, or platform-specific alarms pointing to the processor module. The A20B-3300-0632 is identified from its installed board label. Replacement restores processing capability.
Platform upgrade: A FANUC CNC system is upgraded to a higher-capability CPU module. The A20B-3300-0632 provides enhanced processing for the specific platform it serves.
Q1: How do I confirm A20B-3300-0632 is the correct module for my FANUC CNC?
Read the part number from the installed module's label. If it reads A20B-3300-0632, this is the confirmed replacement. Cross-reference with the applicable FANUC CNC maintenance manual's spare parts table to confirm the module's exact function and processor specification for the host CNC model.
Q2: What processor does A20B-3300-0632 use?
The A20B-3300-063x position — immediately beyond the confirmed Pentium MMX 060x range — suggests an advanced processor architecture. Whether it is Pentium MMX with extended memory, a RISC processor variant, or a later-generation Intel processor is confirmed from the specific module's label and the applicable FANUC hardware documentation.
Q3: Does replacing A20B-3300-0632 affect CNC parameters or programmes?
No. CNC parameters and programmes reside in SRAM and FROM modules separate from the CPU module. Replacing A20B-3300-0632 does not affect stored data. The CNC resumes normal operation using existing parameters and software after fitting the replacement.
Q4: Can A20B-3300-0632 substitute for modules in the 060x Pentium MMX range?
Whether A20B-3300-0632 is interchangeable with 060x modules depends on whether the processor specification and connector interface are compatible. Different A20B-3300 variants serve platform-specific configurations — confirm compatibility from the applicable maintenance documentation before substituting.
