Need Help!- RS-232

[jdgromi]

Hello!

I would like to download my program file into my Fanuc 21i-T by the RS-232 port.
Is-it possible? if yes how can i do that?
The RS-232 pin out is it standard?

As long as you have a serial port on your machine and a cable to connect to your pc. You can use windows hyperterminal to send. Just start a new connection in hyperterminal and make sure all the info matches up to what is on your machine.

Control Side Settings:

PUNCH CODE = 1 (0:EIA 1:ISO)
I/O CHANNEL = 0 (JD5A CONNECTOR,CHANNEL 0)

PARAMETERS
0000 = XXXXXX10
0100 = 00000000
0101 = 10000001
0102 = 0
0103 = 10

Just go to radio shack and get the 9-25 pin cable, and a null modem adapter. Saves trying to make a cable if your not good at it. The parameter settings listed will work, but he didn't give the actual baud rade, parity, stop bits with it. I don't have a manual at my desk to look it up. BTW an i series can use a ATA flash card or compact flash card with an adapter. Much easier than RS232.

you forgot to make channel 20=0

yes that is true i have one and it works.. much easier to buy it.. you are going to need a null modem adapter the 9-25 pin adapter and a gender changer.. .

Is 10 4800 or 9600 baud?

[dcoupar]

10 is 4800, 11 is 9600

I/O CHANNEL = 0 and Parameter 20 =0 means same thing.........so your parameter 20 will set itself as long as u put 0 on I/O CHANNEL.


parameter 101 sets teh following values:

#7 (NFD)
0 : Feed is output when data is output.
1 : Feed is not output when data is output.

#3 (ASI)
0 : EIA or ISO code is used for input/output data.
1 : ASCII code is used.

#0 (SB2) 0 : No. of stop bits is 1.
1 : No. of stop bits is 2.

I totally agree PCMCIA Adapter with compact flash hard is the best way to go if you don't have dataserver option.

I/O CHANNEL = 4 = Parameter 20.
