PERIPHERAL COMMUNICATIONS
7.1 RECEIVE AND SEND PROGRAMS
Once the communications parameters have been defined, follow the steps described
below in order to send or receive part-programs from or to a computer or peripheral
device:
* Press the key and select the “COMMUNICATIONS” option.
* Select the “RECEIVE AND SEND PROGRAMS” option.
* Prepare the receptor unit before selecting the type of transmission.
* Press the desired softkey RECEIVE or SEND.
RECEIVE to receive part-programs from a computer or peripheral device
into the DRO and SEND to send them out to a computer or peripheral from
the DRO.
* The DRO will request the number of the program to be transmitted.
After indicating the program number and pressing , the communication

* Once the transmission is completed, other programs can be sent or received by
pressing RECEIVE or SEND accordingly.
Press EXIT to quit the transmission mode and the DRO will display the options
corresponding to “COMMUNICATIONS”.
The part-programs are sent out in the following format:
1.- Program number - Status - End-of-line character.
At least one blank space must be used to separate the fields.
The part-program number must consist of the letter “P” followed by 5 digits.
Example:P00001.
The status code is preceded by the letter “S” and consists of three digits indicating
the work units of the DRO. The first digit indicates the type of coordinates (0 =
ABS, 1 = INC); the second one indicates the measuring units of the linear axes (0
= mm, 1 = inches) and the third one indicates the measuring units of the rotary axes
(0 = degrees in 0.0001 degree units, 1 = degrees - minutes - seconds). Example:
S000
When sending a part-program out to a computer or peripheral device, the
transmitted status code corresponds to the units being selected at the DRO at that
time.
