ok new "alarm message". god this is getting old.

 

"2520 ORD 1 RS485 device absent"

"2520 ORD 2 RS485 device absent(AC)"

 

right....anyone?

---

There should be an 'Alarm and Error List' type of book or at least a chapter in the operator's manual that details what individual alarms mean and list some possible causes.

 

Is this a new machine at your school? It seems to me that between the machine tool representative and your Mastercam reseller you guys should've been set up better than this...

:1111

(MASTERCAM - V9.)

 

 

Try it with a colon in front of the program number. If that doesnt work, try :O1111 adding the O in front of the program number.

My controls require the colon otherwise mine wont communicate either.

If it does work, there is a simple post edit you can do to fix it.

Greg, I believe that the machine would see the :O1234 the same as OO1234 which it wouldn't like too much

 

Dunno, though...

Lucky for me the other programmer here catchs on real quik and shows me alot. As he says he's a 3'd mill man and i'm just a 2'd lathe guy.

That wasn't Rich, was it? I know he ran/runs the lathe for you guys, but he ran the mills when he worked with me. In fact, he trained me.

i think im just going to take it to a machine shop around here and see if they can run my program or something.

[dan m]

Sorry Thirteenth,

I'm not trying to hijack your thread.

Thad,

No it's not Rich. He still isn't using mc. Actually if I were a betting man I would bet he's going to be moving into the union office the end of this month

Taking your program to some other shop every time you want to run a part isn't a really good long-term solution. You should have your instructor or whoever is in charge of the shop at school get with the machine tool dealer or MC dealer and get this worked out.

[crazy^millman]

The blood work seems OK. She just needs to go to the doctor to check the other stuff. She feels fine. Truth be told, she's probably borderline and with the changes she's made to her diet, that probably did it. We're going to Hawaii in February for our 10 year aniversary, so everything HAS to be OK. I've not had a vacation in 3 years. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED this vacation.

 

How's Chance?

[crazy^millman]

I hope you get it James. They going to let her Fly in the 3rd trimester James? They told us we couldn't fly. Well I hope I have just give you bad news. I am glad she is doing good. My wife just had here 6 week follow up so you know what that means a happier husband.

Nice! I think I'm gonna get the snip snip during that time. That shoudl help pass the time for a couple days....

[Rekd™]

Yes, vacations are mandatory, specially for yer 10 year. We'll be celebrating our 10th in Oct. We're planning on a cruise, haven't been on one since our honeymoon.

 

Millman, I have one word for you...

 

GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY!

 

'Rekd teh shouldn't talk, I'll be working Saturday AND Sonday!

[crazy^millman]

Yeah Matt take your own Advice. (meant for this weekend my friend)

 

It is ok I this is what I need to be able to stay out here is on the table right now. I have our Departmenat at a point this month to do 1/4 of 2 years total work in one month so if that doesn't do the trick may be writing you back from Florida.

 

It is hard for me to do the Snip Snip. One of the bosses did and that was 10 months ago and still not the same so kinda like a big I don't really know right now.
