Hi all!!
We have 10 Fanuc vmc, whith different cnc model.

We usually transfer program between machine and cnc whith rs232 (dnc4u at 9600baud), but the newest machine whit oi-f and 31i-b control have a strange problem.
They don't force the program name like the oldest control.

Example:

This is an example of an our file:

%
O1000(FIRST PROGRAM)
G1
G2
G3
M30

O1001(SECOND PROGRAM)
G1
G2
G3
M30

O1002(THIRD PROGRAM)
G1
G2
G3
M30
%

the common process at the machine for reading is write O1000 or O2000 or anithing and then push the softbutton "read",
the machine read the file and put any program in sequence after the program name we had wrote.
This gife the ability to the operator to choose the position of the program in the machine.
But whit the newest Fanuc control we can't do that!
In fact the machine stop the transmission after receveid the first program!

We find a little solution pushing the softbutton "read" whitout write anything before do this.
The machine correctly read any program in the file , put put programs where program name are.

Any suggestion?

Another question!
But "fanuc program transfer tool" don't see folder on the LAN? Is it true?

Regards
