Set the following parameters on the machine
311 = 00011000 340 = 2 341 = 2 Set the setting data as follows TV CHECK = 0 PUNCH CODE = 1 INPUT UNIT = 0 INPUT DEVICE 1 = 1 INPUT DEVICE 2 = 1 To set the controller in the Drip feed mode Set the Tape mode on. Note: The Dripfeed (Blockwise) program transfer works only when the dripfeed facility is enabled on the machine controller. Parameters for the various baud rates For baud rates other than 2400 set as follows: Baud rate Parameter 150 200 300 600 1200 2400 4800 9600 00010011 00010100 00010101 00010110 00010111 00011000 00011001 00011010 Set the following parameters on the PC General settings Machine name MCH-1 Control system Fanuc Machine ID 01 Time out (sec) 5 Control program start M82 Control program end M30 Is DNC required Yes DNC settings Port Number COM2 (or any free COM port) Baud rate 2400 Data bits 7 Parity Even Stop bits 2 Handshake Hardware Filter null character Yes Transmit settings Transmit directory Specify folder to store programs to be sent to machine from PC Wait period at start of transmission 10.0 Wait period after transmitting program 5.0 Size of transmit packet 0 Delay period after each packet 0 Wait for XON before transmitting program No Drip feed Off Transmit comments?
