D I/O Edit Menu SEND RS232 or SEND DISK Commands - You can send programs to the RS232 port or a
program disk from the Advanced Editor. After selecting the menu item you want (SEND RS232 or SEND DISK),
a program list will appear. Select the program you want to save, or “ALL” (at the end of the list) if you wish to
send all programs under one file name. You can also select any number of programs using the up and down
cursor arrow keys or the handwheel and the INSERT key to mark the specific programs to send. If no programs
are selected from the list using the INSERT key, the currently highlighted program will be sent.
D I/O Edit Menu Sending Multiple Programs Under One File Name - In the Advanced Editor, you can
send multiple program files via the RS232 port or to a program disk, using the SEND RS232 or SEND DISK
commands under the I/O menu (see the previous paragraph for how to do this). The Advanced Editor allows you to
choose more then one program in the list of programs that you want to save (you select them with the cursor up
or down arrow and press INSERT ), and save them under one file name that you type in; then press WRITE/
ENTER to save and send it.
(Any Mill Control ver. 9.49 and above; any Lathe Control ver. 3.00 and above.)
D I/O Edit Menu Sending Multiple Programs Using Program Numbers - The SEND DISK item from the I/O
menu of the Advanced Editor allows the operator to select one or more programs to be saved to the program
disk. It will prompt you to “ENTER DISK FILENAME.” In previous versions, the control would insist on a
filename. Now, however, if you do not enter a file name, but simply press WRITE/ENTER , the control will save
each program (the ones you selected using the cursor and the INSERT key) to a separate file on the disk and
use the five-digit program number as the file name. For example, if programs O00123 and O45678 are selected
and sent, the new file names that are created will be O00123 and O45678.
(Any Mill Control ver. 9.49 and above; any Lathe Control ver. 3.00 and above.)
D LIST PROG Display Sending a Program File - You can send a file or files to a program disk or through
the RS-232 port from the LIST PROG display. Use the cursor arrow to select the program you want, or on “ALL”
if you want to send all of the programs under one file name. When you press F2 to send the selected
program(s), the control will ask for a file name, which can be up to eight characters long with a three-letter
extension (8CHRCTRS.3XT). Then press F2 again to send it. You can also use the I/O menu in Edit to send
and receive program files.
D LIST PROG Display Sending Multiple Program Files with SEND RS232 key - Several programs can be
sent through the serial RS-232 port from the LIST PROG operation mode, by typing in all the program numbers
together on the input line without spaces, starting with the letter "O" and then the number. You can leave off any
leading zero's if you choose to (e.g., O123O4545O13579) and then press SEND RS232.
D RS-232 Communications Using X-Modem - If you are seeing occasional errors when using RS-232
communications, X-Modem (Setting 14) is a standard communications mode which is very reliable when only a
few errors occur. Our control supports this, as do almost all software communication packages for PCs.
D Haas Rotary Table Using the Serial Port and Macros - It is possible to regulate a Haas rotary table using
the serial port and macros from the Haas control, or any Fanuc-compatible control. There is a set of sample
macros available from the Haas applications department.
D Send and Receive Offsets, Settings, Parameters and Macro Variables to/from Disk - You can save
offsets, settings, and parameters to a floppy disk. Press LIST PROG first , then select an OFSET, SETNG or
PARAM display page. Type in a file name and then press F2 to write that display information to disk (or F3 to
read that file from a disk). You can also do this with the macro variables by pressing LIST PROG first , then
selecting the macro variable display page ( PAGE DOWN from CURNT COMDS).
