I have been testing out the drip-feed via RS232 option on my Tree 325. My program is just over 5000 lines, a simple facing operation, then outside profile cut (rectangle), and lastly an engraving operation on the top face. The problem I am running into occurs a bit sporadically.
Error: 131 "Next character not N"
This is very strange, in that the program error pops up at different spots during the program. It doesn't seem to be stuck at one specific line. I noticed that if I am slower doing a manual tool change (program stops at M6 and I have to change tools manually, then cycle start to resume) then the error will occur earlier in the program.
After I discovered this I decided to perform a test. I restarted the program and decided to run through without actually performing the manual tool changes required. Instead, I just hit cycle start at each tool change in an attempt to "keep up" with the program feed from my laptop. This actually worked, the program ran flawless, no errors.
Perhaps I have a setting incorrect inside the DNC software I am using to deliver the program to the machine? I am using ProDNC 5.0.
Does anyone have experience with a similar issue?
