Does anyone know the FIFO settings on the computer to use when drip feeding with a fanuc 10m Machine? I keep getting a buffer overflow on the mill. The DNC manual does not give recommendations.
Playing around with the FIFO buffers on the computer did not seem to help so I found a DNC program that dripfeeds in 10 character chunks. That seemed to stop the drip feeding problem as it should not be able to fill the machine buffer now.
You state you want to do "Drip Feed", does the machine have a "tape" mode of operation on the mode selector switch? How exactly are you testing this, what are you doing on the CNC machine to start "Drip feed" and what are you doing with the software to handle "Drip Feed"?
