DNC & File Transfer

[Phil Orenstein]

Can someone clear up some questions on DNC and file transfer ? Just a bit fuzzy on this.

 

1. Can I use Mastercam communcations for transferring files to the control via the RS232 cable? I have used it in the past for DNC which works great, but never used it for simply sending files (not drip feeding) and running them from the control (for Haas & Fanuc controls)

 

2. Can the DNC Transmission feature included in CImco Edit be used to transfer files to the control as well as to DNC?

 

Thanks in advance for anyone still indoors like me on this nasty rainy Sunday in NY!

yes,

cimco will do simple upload and downloads and also Drip feed a control. In cimco, there is really no difference, the difference is how you 'receive' the code at the machine.
