Modern FANUC retrofits (like the iSeries) no longer use EPROMs. A conversion tool extracts the raw machine code from the EPROM and repackages it for flash cards or internal memory.
Used machine dealers often use conversion tools to run software-emulated PMCs, allowing them to test a control board without physically installing EPROMs. Fanuc Pmc Eprom Convert Tool

Legacy Fanuc systems often rely on older EPROM technology that is prone to parity errors and physical deterioration after 20 years or more. If these chips fail without a backup, the machine's operational logic—often customized by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)—may be permanently lost. The Convert Tool acts as a safeguard, allowing users to: Create reliable binary backups on modern storage. Once modifications are made in LADDER-III, the tool
