2560 error

[guydrisc]

im trying to send a program from the pc to control and i get a 2560 rs232c read buffer overflow error. im not sure what it means... i have a osp5020m control... the buad rate settings could be different because i dont know how to find the settings on the machine.. i am new to okumas so all the help i can get would be awesome... thanks

The alarm is pointing to end of file signal (%), or cable problem

Try sending from the machine to PC first
( just a small 1 line program ), this will eliminate any problem you have in the program structure of the one you are trying to send from the PC


Okumas put special code at start and end of file
the main one is to end the file with %

ie
..
..
M2 or M30
%

This could also be a flow control problem. The Okuma's have a limited buffer size for uploading so they read a little, send a stop code (XOFF), save to memory, send a start code (XON), and repeat. make sure your cable is correct, set your parameters, give them time to backup ( about 2.5 minutes on the older controls) and them power down for at least 1 minute to give the RS board time to reset properly. Then power up and try again.

Best of luck.
