Hello everyone.
I am pretty green to cnc machining in general, so feel free to bash, laugh, feel sorry or insult me. I'm fairly flexible .
Almost 2 years ago our shop purchased a HAAS VF-0 (mid 1990's model). We bought a subscription to fusion 360, and a drip feed program called dnc4u (drip feed through rs232). Hope that catches you up a bit.
We are having an issue with the haas mill and we're wondering if anyone could maybe shed some light on what is going on?
What is happening.
I am running a program previously known to work without issue that has been proven in multiple production runs.
The program is enormous and I'm drip feeding the program. I am periodically getting "unknown code" error, so I will restart the program and just let it run again. It will continue to machine past the first error point, get some distance beyond where it previously faulted out and then fault again "unknown code". I've had the same exact process happen about 7 times now, each restart getting a bit further than it did before, but eventually getting an error.
Could there be some settings preventing the information from getting to the mill through the rs232 plug or an issue communicating in the dnc4u program that is sending the code?
I've changed the baudrate a couple of times and still got errors. Did the typical restart machine, and restart computer. Made sure the computer isn't going to sleep during the milling process. I'm just fumbling around trying to find the issue here.
I'm confident many of you have more experience than I do, and hopefully can point me in the right direction?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
