THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE.

HOWEVER I FAILED TO MENTION THAT THE CONTROL IS A 10T

MODEL-A.I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS MATTERS OR NOT BUT WHEN I SELECT SETTINGS,THE ONLY
OPTION I HAVE IS "HANDY" SETTINGS.I PRESS GENERAL SETTINGS AND THE GENERAL
SCREEN IS BLANK.I CAN NOT FIND ANY ANY OPTION TO TURN ON PWE.
I ALSO HAVE A MACHINE WITH A FANUC O-M CONTROL AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS CHANGING
PARAMETERS BECAUSE I CAN TURN ON PWE WITH GENERAL SETTINGS.
I AM FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FANUC SYSTEM 10T-MODEL -A MANUAL.I DO NOT
HAVE A SCANNER AVAILABLE SO I AM GOING TO PRINT INFO AS WRITTEN IN
THE MANUAL.THIS INFO IS FROM PAGE -4301) PUT SCREEN IN MDI MODE OR E-STOP STATUS
2) PRESS SOFTWARE KEY 'SETTING' TO SELECT SETTING SCREEEN
3) ENTER 8000
4) PRESS SOFTWARE KEY 'INP-NO',THEN DATA NUMBER 8000 PARAMETER
IS DISPLAYED.
5) ENTER 1 AND PRESS 'INPUT' SOFTWARE KEY.PWE=1 IS SPECIFIED AND
NOW PARAMETERS CAN NOW BE SPECIFIED.
I HAVE FOLLOWED THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND STILL CANNOT TURN ON PWE.I KEEP GETTING
WRITE PROTECT ERROR.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE MACHINE HAS LOST THE PHYSICAL TOOLING POSITIONS.I HAVE
RESOLVED THIS BY EDITING THE PROGRAM.
I WOULD STILL LIKE TO FIND HOW TO TURN ON PWE FOR FUTURE NEEDS.
On some controls you have to select MDI AND press E-stop. Try it.
