Need Help!- Mazatrol T Plus file transfer

[ict]

I need expets help. I need file transfer between Mazatrol T Plus and a PC with PC-DNC editor installed. I will very appreciated your help.

I tired it only to get "515 CMT MIS-CONNECTED" messages. Here is details;

1.CNC machine (Mazak, Quick Turn 30, Mazatrol T Plus)
2. XP laptop with 9 pin serial port
3. PC DNC Editor (pretty new version, trial)
4. Serial Cable (9 to 25 cable, customised to support Mazatrol)

My question:
1. I have A15 to A32 parameter information. There ,however,were Machine Parameters like X-1, Z-1, C-1, 4-1, 5-1 which one should I modify values?

2. For A29 and A30, what value should I input?


Here shows cable spec and parameters I have:

CNC side (25-pin) -------- PC side (9-pin)
pin 2 ----------------------- pin 2
pin 3 ----------------------- pin 3
pin 5 ----------------------- pin 7
pin 7 ----------------------- pin 5
pins 6 and 8 ---------------- pin 4

This cable will work on all Mazak models, assuming that you have a 9-pin serial port on your PC.

To configure your Mazatrol, you'll need to set several parameters. Here are our suggested settings:

A15 - 206 (No parity, 2 stop bits, 8 data bits)
A16 - 1 (RS232 parameter for serial tape?)
A17 - 6 (CMT baud rate 4800)
A18 - 6 (EIA baud rate 4800)
A19 - 0 (Tape rewind code)
A20 - 1 (Output ISO)
A21 - 0 (Spaces between work # & data
A22 - 0 (Spaces between programs)
A23 - 0 (Leader / trailer in feet)
A24 - 0 (Tape Vertical Parity Check = off)
A29 bit 0 - 0 (Don't stop at O or
A29 bit 1 - 1 (Stop at M02)
A30 bit 0 - 1 (Serial reader on)
A30 bit 1 - 1 (Serial punch on)
A30 bit 2 - 0 (Parallel reader off)
A30 bit 3 - 0 (Parallel punch off)
Remember: Bit 0 is the RIGHTmost bit
A31 - 109 ("#" code for EIA punch)
A32 - 70 (":" code for EIA punch)


Thanks,
Young

DEAR YOUNG,

I HAVE A QUICK-TURN 10 WITH A T-PLUS CONTROL.

I PURCHASED A PROGRAM WITH A CABLE FOR $220.00. IT WORKS JUST FINE TO STORE A PART PROGRAM ON YOUR PC AND THEN RESTORE IT TO THE MAZAK.

THE PROGRAM IS "EZATROL" AT EZATROL.COM.

YES MAZAK HAS A "UNIQUE" RS235 FORMAT, EZATROL THRU E-MAIL HELPED US SET UP THE MAXAK PARAMETERS ( AND YES I THINK MAXAK MANUALS ARE NOT WRITTEN VERY WELL ).

I HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR PROBLEM.
