Need Help!- fanuc 18i-m end of line

[emiller3061]

when adding programs to one of our machines with a fanuc 18i-m control we're finding that it's importing as a paragraph of code, rather than importing line by line. at first we thought it was the post, which may be outputting the code with an incorrect end of line character.

however, if we create a new program on that control and save it back to our network, it saves it in paragraph form from the machine. is there a setting on the control that specifies whether programs are stored line by line versus in paragraph form? any help would be most beneficial.

What is your EOB character set for in your COMM software?

When sending from the Fanuc to the PC you have a choice of several EOB combinations. See attached.

the NCR and CRF are on "0" in parameter 100, is there any other ideas. The way I'm reading it is, that if both of those are on "0" then all the EOB format are turned on.

What communication program are you using on your PC? What are the EOB settings on that?

we're using ExtremeDNC to transmit the files. i'll check and see what the settings are and will respond.

we just figured out the issue. it was a parameter within the control itself. it wasn't recognizing the % sign properly at the beginning and end of the program, which now it is and everything looks good. thank you for your help.

Which parameter, if you don't mind me asking?

100, BIT 5

Interesting... #100 bit 5 is supposed to control the way receives data when drip-feeding. Oh well, you learn something new every day.
