rs232 abort

[wms]

I do not have a Minimill so I lack experience with its problems.

Gar,

Pretty much the same as all the Haas machines...control wise..

I do see a "RS232 Abort" sometimes..but I just resend the program and all is well...

And if you get that message you need to check the alarm message page for the exact alarm number..usually a rs232 break..and most often it is just noise. Or a time out.

A resend and you are go to go..well here any way..

wms:

I do not believe there is ever a timeout on HAAS. This can be proven by sending a file without the trailing % and HAAS will, I believe, wait forever for more data. If while HAAS is waiting you send another and different O-number without the leading % this different program will be loaded.

Also there is no timeout waiting for you to send a file. This is a great asset compared to other machines.

I also believe you can send any junk before the first % or any after the end % without an error. This excludes some newer capability where HAAS can receive external data into a running program.

If you are setup correctly, then HAAS has a problem, or the question remains whether HAAS has made certain standard functions optional on inexpensive machines. wms you made a good point. I do not usually think of obvious things like this. I do not have a Minimill so I lack experience with its problems. .

I need to check the available memory, however I have been traveling so I haven't had a chance.

I had the same problem today. I spent an hour trying everything I could think of. The control would accept some programs, but not the program I was trying to send. I couldn't see anything different but for the hell of it, I changed the program number and wallah...it worked. I've run Haas machines for 19 years and this was a first for me. So if you're having the same problem try changing the program number and let us know if you got the same result.
