WARNING!
One of the biggest causes of electronic damage is a lack of a good
earth ground on both the CNC and the computer that are connected by
RS-232. A ground fault condition (i.e., a lack of good ground on both)
will damage the CNC or the computer, or both.
Port #2 on the side cabinet is dedicated to auxiliary axes communication.

PERATION
All files must be on MS-DOS formatted 1.44M floppy disks and must reside in the root directory. Parameter
209 DISK ENABLE must be 1.
NOTE:
In order to enable the floppy disk drive, an unlock code must be entered. If
necessary contact the Service Department for more information.
NOTE:
Use an empty (containing no other files) floppy disk for faster operation.
All programs must begin with a line containing a single
%
and must end with a line containing a single
%
. All
programs saved by the control will have these
%
symbols.
Programs
may be loaded and saved from the floppy disk. To
LOAD
a program, press the LIST PROG key with
PRGM selected. Enter the floppy disk file name and press F3 and the control will receive all main and sub
programs until it receives a
%
sign indicating end of input. Please note that when using ALL, all your pro-
grams must have an address
Oxxxxx
to be filed. An ASCII EOF character (code 04) will also terminate input.
The colon character (
:
) may be used in place of the
O
for a program name, but it is always displayed as
O
.
When loading floppy disk data, there is a status message at the bottom of the screen. It will update as follows:
LOADING Onnnnn
When program name is received.
DISK DONE
When complete and last
%
is received.
DISK ABORT
When anything causes abnormal stop.
Note:
Should the control already have a program with the same name as the program
being load from the disk, it will be overwritten without the user being prompted.
To
SAVE
a program to floppy disk, press the LIST PROG key with PRGM selected. Enter the floppy disk file
name, use the cursor as above to select the program, and press the F2 key. You can select ALL to send all
of the programs in memory.
NOTE:
Setting 23 must be off.
Parameters
,
Settings
,
Macro Variables
, and
Offsets
may also be sent individually to the floppy disk by
selecting the LIST PROG mode, entering the floppy file name, selecting the desired display screen (PARAM,
SETNG, OFSET, or the Macro Variables page of CRNT CMDS), and pressing the F2 key. They can be received
by pressing the F3 key.
If an EOB (semicolon) is loaded, it will cause a blank line in the program.
The format of data sent and received for settings, offsets, and parameters is the following:
