Fanuc 310 DPRINT Function

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

if you Dprint can you specify a file name rather then it just printing info sequential

[Steve@Cimco]

Dprnt outputs to the serial port only I think. Are you trying to save the Dprnt text ouput to the hard disk on the controller?

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

I can get it to the controler that way it is likw a log file but it serializes each event then I have to look in the dat file to see what was ran I want to specify the fil name then I can just see it from the directory

I would think James would be all over this Help James

DPRINT can go to ANY connected device. RS-232, Dataserver, or FlashCard.

 

I've not been able to specify a file. I asked one of our FANUC guys and he said no. But I'm going to ask The FANUC guru I know. Marty in the SoCal office. He'll know.

 

Will reply when I hear from him.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Marty said it is not able to be modified.

[Dave Ball]

Can anyone recommend a printer that is capeable of being connected directly to the machine RS-232 to utilize the DPRINT command? Also, James how do you specify what device you want the DPRINT to go to?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I specify by I/O Channel on the Settings page.

 

You can actually change the I/O Channel on the fly.

 

Below will change the I/O Channel on 16/18/21/ and 0i Controls.

Obviously there's some extra stuff on the second example but that will give yo ua great sample to get it going as for setting up formatting etc... for DPRINT.

[Dave Ball]

Thanks James! That will defiantly go in my reference file, now if I can find a printer that will connect to the RS-232

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Uou'll need to look for a Serial Port printer like this.
