Good day all,
I am running a Romi M27 lathe.
It's pretty basic, X and Z axis, no turret.
The controller has a port for a memory card, which we use regularly to load and unload programs.
This card port is on the front of the controller, on the left hand side of the display screen.
There is also what appears to be a second port on the side of the controller.
It is a 25 pin port, like one would find on older PCs.
My goal is to network my Fanuc controller to a PC I have near the machine so that I can load and unload programs that way. In looking for the right way to make this happen, I have acquired an adapter device that plugs into the 25 pin port, and adapts it to USB.
I have a cable long enough to reach between the two devices.
I still can't seem to make it work.
It seems like there are some parameters missing from my parameter list, specifically one that would control the Baud Rate, for the information transfer. I think. From what I can gather the parameter would be 103, but it is completely not there. I'm not sure if there is a way I can make it be there, some other parameter that I can change to make it active or not. I guess its possible that I have a port that looks like its real, but doesn't actually have any hardware attached tot he computer inside of the machine controller, thought that seems like a waste of resources.
I'm really not sure how to get this to work, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
