We have two Cincinnati Arrow mills with Acramatic 2100 controls. One with serial communication and one with network communication onboard.
We need to import tool table information from our new tool data management system/presetter combo but the only thing we can do is make a backup or full restore of all machine data.
If we export the data it turns it into a program that looks like this :
(PGM, NAME="TOOLDATA.BCK", TYPE="A2100_274", EXEMODE="STANDARD", PATH="PATHALL", ACCESS="OPEN", CREATED="MON OCT 22 2007 19:08:00", MODIFIED="MON OCT 22 2007 19:08:00")
//A2100 Tool Data Backup v2.10 18/OCT/2007 15:07
//MAI: BV020212 (91203412J) NCX: MV981117 (7-000-5664) SYSTEM: SY981117 (7-000-5667)
//Control Serial Number=51-A21001Y-0618
This is then followed by the tool data parameters.
If we change some values in the exported tool table it resets the values on import and we have to manually remove data from the file because it sees it as a CNC program and not a tool table.
Does anyone know how we should go about resolving this ?
