Need Help!- RS 232 COMMUNICATION PROBLEM

[fourway]

I am having trouble communicating via RS232 with my milltronics Cent 6 mill. I have a cable that I use to communicate with my Mori and it wors fine both ways. when i configure Cimco Edit to communicate with my Milltronics it will not receive files. it shows error codes 901 and 902 framing error and parity error. I can send files out of the machine back to laptop with no problems at all.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do not know your machine but the error s indicate the transmit speed is different to receive speed, IE the baud rate is different.
I hope this helps.

Straight from the Milltronics manual:
Error 901 RS232 parity error (The system sending data may not have the same parity as the CNC)
Check RS232 parity parameter in PARMS-CTRL

Error 902 RS232 framing error (Remote system and CNC may not have the same line settings or a loose cable)
Check the line settings in PARMS-CTRL for baud rate, parity, and stop bits.

Attached is some info on the RS232 communication on the Milltronics control.
