Cimco Communications

[MIKE_B]

Hi all!

 

I have a new PC here and I am now having trouble sending programs out from the CIMCO editor.

I can not remember the settings I had with the old PC. I know the baud rates are correct it is everything else I am not sure of.

See attachments for my current settings.

 

Thanks for any help

Mike

You need to find the parameters on the machine. You mentioned the baud rate is correct, but your machine controller should match everything that Cimco is set to.

 

Get out your machine's manual and look for the other parameters.

What machine?

[MIKE_B]

The only machines I need to send to have Yasnac controls. All my other machines i use Compact flash cards.

[shazam/TPP]

i had a yasnac mill and had it set like:

 

stopbit = 1

data = 7

parity = even

 

and have a % at the start trigger

 

have a % at the start and end of your program hth

I get the transfer complete from CIMCO....it just does not get into the control.

No alarms...just keeps blinking IN

[shazam/TPP]

on the transmit page did you place a % sign in the start trigger column?

 

also do you have a % sign at the start of your program?

MIKE B,

 

Cimco transmits the file whether or not you're receiving at the machine control. That same message would show up even if you had no cables connected to the sending pc. Check to make sure you're using the correct output port on the sending pc with the DNC settings of Cimco. Besides that, compare all other settings as suggested in above replies.

 

HTH Cheers

good point P_Scott, you may need to be on COM 2 or 3 ...

[MIKE_B]

Thanks all for the reply's.....no luck yet....

 

I put a % sign at the beginning of my program and added it to the trigger. Still no luck.

My post does not put a % sign at the beginning of my programs so I'm not sure that is my problem.

And before I swithed to this new PC i did not have any problems...

[MIKE_B]

There is only 1 COM port on the PC

[MIKE_B]

Ok got it working!

IT guy plugged in wrong port!

 

Thanks again for all the reply's

 

Stayed with default settings:

stop bit 2

data bits 7

parity: even

baud rate 4800

nothing in the triggers

Good to hear you got it working. DNC is generally simple and doesn't take rocket science to figure out. If it doesn't work but all the settings match between the pc and control than it's almost always the physical connection isn't right. Glad we could help Mike. Damn I miss the old "smileys".
