Topic: Will not wait on CNC to send a file
|
| By: Wayne | Posted on: Oct 26 2011 at 08:58:25 PM | Have V 4.0 easyDnc. Will receive a file from Fanuc OT-C controller without any problems. When I try to download a program from Laptop to CNC it begins transmitting before I ask the CNC to read the file. Feel like the cable and setup on both ends are OK because I can download PC parameters, NC parameters, offsets, pitch errors, NC programs, ETC on 22 machines W/O any problems. Tried changing from Xon/Xoff to wait, and all it did was wait. What am I missing?
Thanks | |

Press the read button on the CNC and then hit the send button on easyDnc.
Does that work? | |

Thanks! | |

However, the CNC does not read the data. No errors. The CNC screen goes back to ready state almost immediatly, like it is starting the read process, but not looking for data. Got to be something in the CNC, but I can't figure it out. Checked parameters in Fanuc until I'm cross-eyed. Any one had this problem with an older Fanuc OT-C? | |
