I went and double checked the parameters in the manual for receiving information from a computer and acknowledged they were correct.
As soon as I hit load program the message pulls up. there is not an "n" in the program. Manual says the CNC post the line number before the problem.
This is an old machine and does not have any of those options.
I think the cable is the problem. In looking at the old cable versus the requirements now there are some loop backs on the 9 pin that are not required now.
I think that may have been the problem.
I am going with the follwing from the 9 pin to 25 pin. 3-2, 2-3, 5-7. No loops on the 9 pin. On the CNC side I am looping the 6-8-20 and the 4-5.
This omits two loops off of the nine pin side that I think are no longer needed with the upgraded software.
I am pretty sure this is a DTE system only but rather than take a chance I crossed the 3-2, 2-3 rather than the 3-3, 2-2 since the cross can work for both hardware and software when the loops are put on the 25 pin. | |
