You may want to call Yaskawa but if I remember correctly you can only use 128K on the NX100
Sure you can use bigger. Yaskawa said maximum was 10 Gb, I believe. I use a 1 Gb all the time. I’ve never tried bigger since back when NX was out CF cards that big were very expensive.
I use a 2GB card regularly without any problem. Have used the same card for 10-11 years, occasionally format it and last time was on Windows 10 as FAT32 and still works just fine with our NX100's.
don't format a CF card in a Windows based computer. The robot does not really work in "FAT" format and will never understand NTFS.
I have used a 1Gb Trascend industrial CF all this time, with a Hama converter (00055348). I format this card on win7 in fat32 and it has always worked with a NX100.
Even in a Fanuc RJ3 from early/mid 00s

It's always worked just fine for me Doc...
Good morning,
Let me introduce myself, I am Philippe and I am French
I do not fully master English, please forgive me if I make some mistakes
I work in a high school and I would like to be able to re-commission an NX100
To be able to transmit to students how to use the robot
A student who is no longer at the school stole the compact Flash from us,
I put one of 2 GB formatted in FAT32
She is well recognized.
On the attached photo order I have icons that sound grayed out and the system does not allow me to do jobs
Can you help me, maybe the firmware needs to be replaced?
Your controller is in Maintenance mode. Did you intentionally boot up in this mode or did it automatically boot up in this mode?
If it automatically did, either the Main Menu button is stuck, rotary switch set wrong on the IF board, or you lost all the user information.
Were there alarms when you booted up? If so, what were they. You may need to load the cmos backup, if you have one, or have the controller reinitialized.
Hello and thank you for your quick response, and a happy new year to you.
The controller starts directly in this mode without alarm
As stated in my post at the end of last year, a student stole the Compact Flash card
I bought a new one and formatted in FAT32
But I don't have any data
How can I reset the controller?
Thanks to you
Philippe
Contact your local Yaskawa office. They will need to come in and initialize the controller for you. Then you can load in your backups if you have them.
Then send the bill to the thief 
Thank you for your answers, I will check with Yaskawa.
And yes it will cost me an arm
And unfortunately we don't know which student stole the Memory card from us.
Philippe
