Calling all HAAS folks.

[Ron Branch @ 5th Axis]

I am looking for some help. I have got our posting for the probing working in V9 version of Verisurf for the HAAS. Now the problem I have is the limited ability of the HAAS to give me that DATA back so I can then use it. I have the following line after we do the probing of the surface.

 

code:

---

DPRNT[#5061[24] #5062[24] #5063[24]]  

---

So once it takes the 2nd hit it then outputs this data. I called Tech support and they said the only way to capture this DATA is through the RS232. I would like to be able to send it to the USB or even the hard drive. So here comes my question do any of you know how to do this? If so how? I do not have a machine to try it out on.

 

I have thought about another way where I could send it to the machine and once it is done then save this to a NC file, but not an ideal way to do what I am after.

Hi Ron, you might be able to redirect the serial port output to a file. Haas is running Dos ? Otherwise you need to connect a pc and use some serial data logger software.

Ron,

I know you're not VeriSurfin today, but if I can help you out on our VF3, please let me know, because I think you're doing this for me anyway

 

BTW, it don't have a network card in it, we do the usb drive for transferring gramms

[Ron Branch @ Verisurf]

Murry it is for another company and that solution will work for you as well. I am looking at finding a RS232-25 pin to usb with memory device or, something with ability to plug a stick into and capture the data from the RS232. Now you got what you need for the captured data to do the work you are looking to do with the machine probing. I will call you Tuesday and we can talk.

OK Thanks Ron,

Talk to ya Tues.

Yeah that looks just like what I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

Hi,

 

I'd like to extract data from a HAAS machine.

This machine has NETSHARE and I would prefer to get the data in my NETSHARE-folder.

Anyone know if that´s possible?

I bought one of those boxes direct from Shop Floor Automations. Works great for transferring programs. It used to take 1.5 to 2 hours to send some of our programs over the RS232, now it only takes 20 minutes or so.

I'm curious to know how you got the speed increase. was it the length of cable necessitating slower than optimal baud rates?

[Pilot Plant Supervisor]

Yes, with the length of cable we had, I could only use 9600 Baud. With the box, the cable is short enough to crank it all the way up.
