Hello,

I have to communicate with a Maho 700 with CNC 432 Philips using RS 232 serial communication.

I have used the parameters and cable from Cadem web site and also their NClite software (which I used successfully with other machines), but it didn't work at all.

Does anybody run into the same problem and solved it (cable, parameters, commands) ?

Thank you in advance

Radu

are u sure that u plug the cable to the rite com port? does the port is still function? does the parameter u enter to the interface and the coputer is the rite parameter?

Hi folks. I just ran into this thread now. a coulple of days ago I manage to make my Maho mh500C to talk to my computer I wrote a post about that in the "grapical help please maho 432" thread here at CNC zone I write it again here so you guys also could connect your equipment.

Here is what I wrote:
Yesterday my Maho 432 to talked to my computer(DNC)for the first time. I have made a DB9 to DB25 full handshake cable (Like in the picture). And i used Hypertermial to transfere the programs. easy and seems to work nice

Here is how I did it if anyone wants to know:

First I checked Machine constants
Nr 115 =1 means 2 as stop bit (=0 means 1 is stop bit)
Nr 116 Input Baudrate and
Nr 117 output baudrate. In my case baudrate was set to 300, but I found in some papers that they had used 4800 before on my machine so I will change this as soon as possible.

Then I opened Hyperterminal (Is in windows under comunication)

I used this parameters
connect to Com1
Baudrate= 300
Data bits= 7
Parity= Equal
stop bits= 2
Flow controll Hardware

Send CR at line end
Local ecco

Then I go to the controll and press
"MANUAL"
"PART PROG"
I selected ALL MEMORY
press "MEM LOCK"
"DATA INPUT"

Then I used a simple program as a test

% PM
N9008
N1 G1 X20 F500
N2 G1 Y20
N3 M30


I marked the text/program above and rigth click in Hyper terminal window and choose "Paste to Host"

When all lines was sent I have to press
"CTRL+D" on the computer. Then the program is in the controll.
I Actually don't anderstand why I have to press ctrl+D. But is works

I also loaded programs and tool table out of the machine to the computer.
