Communications set up

[Go Navy]

I'm having the same problem in v9 lathe and X. We are trying to set up communications from mastercam to our SL 20. I can send files thru the cimco editor but would like to send directly thru Mastercam.

 

I go screen, config, communications, change all the settings, save as lathe9.cfg, (delete old file) click yes, close out of everything.

 

when I go into operations magager, click post, send to machine, (check options by pressing Comm Button) everything looks right but when I press ok to send the file Mastercam reverts back to old settings and tries to send thru com port 2 instead of 1 that set in the config screens.

 

Any ideas why mastercam is not saving my settings? I figure I am missing a step and just don't see it.

 

Thanks for the help

there is a switch to read parameters from pst. If that is turned on, communications reads the parameters from the post. There are numbered questions at the bottom of the post for baud rates and such.

Thanks that was it!!!

 

Now we are on to comparing posted files between our v9 post and our X post. Thanks for the quick response. I hope I can return the favor sometime.

 

Have a great day
