RS232 to memory

AF-METALS-TECH · Nov 3, 2009

I have quick question that poped up, untill about 8 months ago we were using the USB thumb drives to tranfer files from the computer to the machine untill a nasty virus found its way on to the server and that was the end of the shop thumb drive, now we are using a Predator Router to send programs through the rs232 port drip feeding the program and resending the same program part after part, how do you send through the rs232 and recieve in memory? Right now we are hitting mdi/dnc twice, send from computer, program shows up on screen, hit current comands, cycle start, for large programs this is fine but short fast cycles over several parts this gets annoying. :crazy:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For programs small enough to not have to drip feed.
1. press LIST PROG button
2. CURSER RIGHT
3. press END button...curser should go to the ALL in the directory
4. press RECV button
5. on your computer press send

Thats it!
