slightly off topic(haas mill comunications)

[cherokeechief79]

we have 3 haas controllers in our shop.2 of them are old and one is fairly new.the older ones communicate fine back and forth to cimco or the old programm i used to use.the newer machine has always been a problem though.i can send to it fine but when i try to send to the computer it only works one time.when i try to send a second prog to it the controller just says "waiting".the only way i can send more than one program is to turn the control off and send it again,but once again i can only send one prog.

any ideas?

Mark, I had some trouble like that, only I couldn't get mine to send at all. I still don't know the cause. It recieves just fine. I have 4 identical machines, VF3's from 2000, and one VF3 from 2002. Only 1 of the 4 aren't sending. All are recieving. Weird stuff

 

If you figure it out, please post here so I can try it.

 

Thanks, sorry I couldn't be of any help.

not to sure on that one but a good workaround might be to select ALL most haas controllers only have about a meg of memory then at your computor pick the ones you need and dump or save as backups the rest ...hth...

Hi Cherokee,

I do not have a solution to your problem,but I do want to sy hi.

I have not seen you post here in a while.Hope you are doing good on learning mastercam.

Hopefully now that you have had a chance to work with it more,it is starting to make sense.

 

Maybe Anthony Graves of Cimco can help you.
