Tall CNC-File

[Holzwurm56]

Hi,
I am using a BP Eztrak 2 CNC . I create a g-code file with 500 kB , when i want to load the file into the machine i always get the message buffer overflow .Files with 100kB can i load . In what kind of way i can use the tall file ?

Many thanks for every answer

Drip feed? I don't know about that controller but with my TNC151 I can drip feed a large file.
I transfered files but have never used the drip feed feature.

You can drip feed from floppy or hard drive. I posted some pictures on this several years ago. Check out this thread it may help you. The maximum file size you can run without drip feeding is 256K.

Only the 3 axis EZTRAK has the ability to DNC. The reason for the buffer overflow is that you load a file to the BMDC which has a finite memory.
I believe that you generated a program with a CAD system. They stitch together a program in blocks and there is a lot of extra lines of code. Have you tried to write the same program using the conversational side of the machine?
