Hey guys/gals,
I had mostly sorted out issues with communicating with my Fanuc with the DNC software I have. Have been running a few programs over the past couple weeks, but now today I can't transmit crap it seems. Initially was getting 087 buffer overflow alarm, so I slowed down the baud from 9600 to 2400 (which previously worked fine).
Up until yesterday, I was able to send and receive no problem. Although, it would usually trim off the first couple of lines when sending to CNC. Whatever no huge deal.
Now, I can't send faster than 2400, and cant send back to PC at all. I get an 086 DR signal off now. I have a null-modem cable, I have not verified the pinout though. Works fine on my other CNC lathe, Siemens control on that one.
Another odd thing back on the Fanuc now, is when I go to read the file, I go to Edit, OPRT, READ, (prepare file in DNC top send), then EXEC. It blinks LSK for half a second, then stops everything (blank). I then go back to PROG, OPRT, READ, EXEC, and it starts reading the file, but it's starting a couple/few lines into the file, cutting off the first few lines.
Any ideas? I'm still fairly new to RS232 communications...
I have verified the parameter settings on the Fanuc side, that they match what's in the DNC.
The CNC does have the PCMCIA card slot (param 0020 to 4), reads fine off of that, but when "sent" back to the card, I can't open it on the PC for viewing. If I change the file format to .TXT then open it, there are no lines... the whole program is all 1 long line.
