His control is a Centurion 4.
I've been dealing with him for months on this and other issues.
His communication settings are as follows: 7 , even , 2 , and my machine
of the same vintage can't go higher than 600 baud. First character and last
characters are a % sign. Parameter number 86 within the Centurion 4 sets
the buad rate for the machine.
My suggestions are as follows:
Get a computer with a serial port or ports. (This was news to me)
Look in the Windows directory of your pc and find the old Win 3.11 program
"Terminal".
Set the communication settings in "Terminal" to 600 baud, 7, even, 2
Write text file *.txt that contains your program. Make sure there is % as the first and last character of your program.
At the control, go MDI, type G55 enter, then start button.
At the PC in "Terminal" send text file.
This is the way I sent and received until I purchased a CNC/COMM/Editor
program. Hyperterminal didn't work for me because it's baud rate settings
didn't have 600 baud.
Good luck
