[DustyL]

can anybody tell me how to and is it possible to dripfeed long programs to a tnc151 control?

There is a BPT technical bulletin on communications to a TNC control. I have to find it.
Just in case it exceeds the 500 KB limit here, what is your email?

I found technical bulletin 6. It is about 2.5 MB long.

Done. See if this helps.
Heidenhain can also be called. They are just outside of Chicago.

Download TNC REMO from Heidenhain's site - set it up and run TNCSERVER

Make up a cable from 25way TNC151B to 9 way PC as follows:


(25way TNC) <9 way PC>
(2) - <2>
(3) - <3>
(4) - <8>
(5) - <7>
(6) - <4>
(7) - <5>
(20) - <6>

The TNC RS232 interface can exist in three modes - "EXT", "ME", and "FE" selected via the 'MOD' key - it should be in "FE"

File names & extensions ARE important in block mode transmission. 123.H = program 123 in Heidenhain conversational code and 123.I is program 123 in ISO-Gcode

When set up like the above it will work - it took me ages to sort it but now all is reliable.

George,

Could you send me a copy of the tech note. Now that the mill is up and running it is time to get it connected.

My e-mail is paul(dot)jeran(at)hp(dot)com

Thanks,

Paul
