communications

[dan m]

I did a search and there is alot covered under communications but i didn't find what i was looking for. The problem i am having is when i receive a program back from the machine (mori with fanuc control) it removes the o and replaces it with : it also takes the spaces out. this happens on 2 of our 3 moris. on the 3rd mori all the parameters are the same and the program comes back fine. We are using Cimnet as our dnc server. Does it make sence that this is in the cable wiring? Thanks in Advance

No, this does not sound like a cable problem. The "O" word vs. ":" are two standards for program name. I would check whether the one Mori has a parameter set (EIA vs. ASCII/ISO) progam. Also, check whether CIMNET has a setting to convert and remove blank spaces if the program is EIA or ASCII/ISO. Sorry, I do not use CIMNET and can't give more help on that. However I have done a lot of communications setups, and cabling, handshaking, baud, parity, and stop bits should not give this problem if the rest of the program is coming through OK. Hope this helps.

I agree it sounds like the tape code on the one machine is set to eia not iso

Thanks for the help. I did have to set the machines to asci
