How to drip feed a program on an Okuma VH40

[RDEMIDON]

I am trying to drip feed a large program from a laptop to an Okuma VH40 with an OSP-U100M-H control. Can anyone help me to get the machine to drip feed? Thanks.

Do you have the DNC-B option? If not, you are out of luck

Not sure how to tell on this machine. I don't see a switch like our Okuma MH60 has for it, but our Okuma MX45 doesn't have a switch and I know we drip feed that machine.

if the program fit in the MD1 and you can't load it in auto mode, try to load it in B-MTD ( the setting is in thr upper right in the program selection page) , this way the OSP will read directly the G-code in the memory instead of creating a copy and run it , you will simply loose the ability to edit the program on the control

 

on our U100e machines , i can run up to 512kb in B-mtd and only 62kb in A-mtd

The machines B-mtd memory is only 128K and the program is 264K. So it won't even fit into the main memory.

The machines B-mtd memory is only 128K and the program is 264K. So it won't even fit into the main memory.

so the only way to get it to work is to split the program or reprogramming the part to get the G-code under 128Kb

 

by playing with the toolpath filter option you can considerably cut the program length
