File Naming Convention
File names should be kept to a typical eight-dot-three format. For example: program1.txt. However, some CAD/
CAM programs use “.NC” as a file type recognition, which is acceptable.
Files developed in the control will be named with the letter “O” followed by 5 digits. For example O12345.NC.
Renaming
To change the name of a file, highlight the file and press “Enter”. Enter a new name and press “Alter”.
Deleting
To delete a program file from a device, highlight the file and press “Erase Prog”.
On-Screen Help
On-Screen help is available by selecting the Device window (left arrow key) and pressing “End”. To exit the Help
screen, press the “Home” button to return to the device manager.
RS-232
RS-232 is one way of connecting the Haas CNC control to another computer. This feature enables the programmer
to upload and download programs, settings and tool offsets from a PC.
Programs are sent or received through the RS-232 port (Serial Port 1) located on side of the control box (Not the
operator’s pendant).
A cable (not included) is necessary to link the CNC control with the PC. There are two styles of RS-232 connec-
tions: the 25-pin connector and the 9-pin connector. The 9-pin connector is more commonly used on PCs.

WARNING!
One of the biggest causes of electronic damage is a lack of a good
ground on both the CNC mill and the computer. The lack of grounding
will damage the CNC, or the computer, or both.
Cable length
The following lists baud rate and the respective maximum cable length.
9,600 baud rate: 100 feet (30 m) RS-232
38,400 baud rate: 25 feet (8 m) RS-232
115,200 baud rate: 6 feet (2 m) RS-232
The settings between the CNC control and the other computer must match. To change the setting in the CNC
control, enter the Settings page (press Setng/Graph) and scroll to the RS-232 settings (or enter “11” and press the
up or down arrow). Use the up/down arrows to highlight the settings and the left and right arrows to change the
values. Press Enter when the proper selection is highlighted.
