Drip Feeding to a Fanuc 6m | |
We have this old clunker….Its a Hitachi Seiki VA-40 equipped with a Fanuc 6m control. We purchased a premade cable and hooked the machine up to a pc. While we have no problems transferring programs back and forth between the pc and machine, we can’t seem to get the machine to dnc properly. Seems like the control only reads a portion of the program and then stops.
Now, I have asked some other people what they thought and it seems like we have been getting mixed results. Some say that control can’t DNC, some say it can if we change a parameter, some say it will only DNC if we purchase a btr board. I would have no problem purchasing a btr board, I just want to make sure that is the only option before we spend $$$$ on this machine.
Anybody have any experience with this issue on this control or have any suggestions? |
