Need Help!- predator to hurco

[Goran72]

I can not get the predator software to dnc complete file to hurco bmc50. Everything starts fine but after about 20 min. machine says end of program. Do i have a wrong setting in predator?

Are you using Predator CNC Editor or Predator DNC?

Does it stop at the same point in the program every time?

How large is the program?

20 minutes is an awfully long time to be waiting for a program to download into your machine. (Slow rate? Large file?)

Anyhow, to answer the question... it might have to do with how you have the Preadator software setup to stop reading. Ours will stop whenever it encouters an "M30"

Many other folks like having a "%" at the end of their programs to stop reading.

IS THERE A M30 OR % SOMEWHERE IN THE "MIDDLE" OF YOUR PROGRAM FILE?
Maybe another thought is: the file is way too long... after 20 minutes of transfering, is your machine controller out of memory space?

Just some thoughts... good luck!

There is no m30 in the program. This hurco requires an
"E" at the end and % at the begining of the program. File starts loading into memory of machine and puts sending computer on hold until space is available. Im thinking its some setting in predator.

Stop points are random. I am using predator cnc editor

I am using predator cnc editor for bobcad and sending through the dnc link.
the program is about about 13 mb.
