Jeff,
I agree with Dave1, write a small program like he says an try it out. One thing
I have noticed on Centurion IV's is it doesn't take much to foul up their programming. For example, a feedrate command at the end of a line instead
of the beginning can screw up a linear or arc move. If you are using line numbers? that can be an issue if they are used incorrectly. If you are programming in the XY plane, G17 is always part of my first line of programming, even though this is the default plane.
I would above everything else, make sure my communications were uploading
and downloading programs correctly into machine and pc memory before ever
attempting DNC.
goodluck
