Fanuc 18-T DNC Parameters

[JerryH]

Am trying to set up a connection, but am having trouble figuring out what baud rate, stop bits, etc. are set on machine. Can anyone tell me where to look, and what the settings should be?

[sanail]

channel setting parameter no 20. stop bit parameter no 101 bit 0. parammeter 102 I/O device value 0 for rs232-c. parameter 103 for baud rate value 10 for 4800, 11 for 9600

All of the settings below are in the Parameter manual for this control.

Parameter 0100
Bit 1 (CTV) Character counting for TV check in the comment section of a program.
0 : Performed
1 : Not performed
Bit 3 (NCR) Output of the end of block (EOB) in ISO code
0 : LF, CR, CR are output.
1 : Only LF is output.
Bit 5 (ND3) In DNC operation, a program is:
0 : Read block by block. (A DC3 code is output for each block.)
1 : Read continuously until the buffer becomes full. (A DC3 code is
output when the buffer becomes full.)
Bit 6 (IOP) Specifies how to stop program input/output operations.
0 : An NC reset can stop program input/output operations.
1 : Only the [STOP] soft key can stop program input/output operations.
(An reset cannot stop program input/output operations.)
Bit 7 (ENS) Action taken when a NULL code is found during read of EIA code
0 : An alarm is generated.
1 : The NULL code is ignored.


Parameter 0101 (assuming that I/O CHANNEL=0)
Bit 0 (SB2) The number of stop bits
0 : 1
1 : 2
Bit 3 (ASI) Code used at data input
0 : EIA or ISO code (automatically distinguished)
1 : ASCII code
Bit 7 (NFD) Feed before and after the data at data output
0 : Output
1 : Not output

Parameter 102
Set the number specified for the input/output device used when the I/O
CHANNEL is set to 0
Set value=0 - RS–232–C (Used control codes DC1 to DC4)

Parameter 0103 Baud rate (when the I/O CHANNEL is set to 0)
Set value Baud rate (bps)
1 50
2 100
3 110
Skipped a bunch of unused baud rates
8 1200
9 2400
10 4800
11 9600
12 19200

Paul,

You have a great memory of all those parameters! Nice to see the details...

Thanks in advance!

If you go into Edit - System - > soft key until you see ALL I/O you can check and set them right there.
