Blue connections on 9 pin female Null Modem
1 - 6 ok but no 4
7 - 8 no

Blue connections on 25 pin male Null modem
6 - 8 ok but 20 no
4 - 5 no

Blue connections on 9 pin female Full Hand shake
1 - 4 no but 1 - 6 ok

Blue connections on 25 pin female Full Hand shake
6 - 8 ok but no 20

[toranacar]

ah ok. I just buzzed them out.
looks like ill have to make the cable because these are sealed

- - - Updated - - -

yes but you need to solder the 1+4+6 on the 9 pin conector and 6+8+20 on the 25 pins conector,the blue lines on photo

ok i get you, thanks mate

As mentioned, a 25 pin null modem adaptor might work for you. Pretty readily available on line and at some electronics stores.

That's a good point. Rather than making or modifying one just plug the adapter in.

[toranacar]

i am sure that cable is not corect,you need to open it and make the cables and solder it like i post the picture

yes i agree, i just bought 25 and 9 pin and cable.

[toranacar]

So today was very productive with some luck.
As mentioned I've been chasing down the technician who had my parameters service book.
Well i walk into Jaycar electronics today to buy the 9 and 25 pin connectors and cable. Guess who i walk into at Jaycar (5 miilion people in Sydney) yes i walk into the CNC technician who had my book in his car for like 5 months! So yes i now have my book.
Anyhow ill have to put my cable together hopefully tomorrow. Ill keep everybody posted about the communication. Thanks guys for all your help so appreciate it guys.
If this works and load programs ill be a very happy man.

Hi guys I've had some success.
So now i have made up the cable, i believe its correct. I now have LSK flashing on the CNC screen which i could never get before.
It looks like the program loads on but doesn't actually load, LSK continues to flash. No errors appear but i think if the program loaded correctly LSK should stop flashing? And the program number should appear on the CNC screen?
Ill post a picture of the settings, maybe this is the issue?


Program I'm trying to load

[toranacar]

Tried both Null modem and Full Handshake. LSK continues to flash when trying to load program.
Punch to PC in Null Modem LSK turns off.
Punch to PC in Full Handshake LSK continues to flash.
I now have my book with Parameters if that helps this situation?

[toranacar]

Also when Punch to PC has Alarm 071

[toranacar]

Sorry if I've already asked but before I bring a technician are there any numbers in diagnostics or parameters I should look for regarding communication with RS 232?

[machinehop5]

...this may help, after reading the adventure downunder.

Also, USB to serial convertors can be a problem sumtimes....use a brand name like Tripplite.

Also when Punch to PC has Alarm 071

Alarm 071 means DATA NOT FOUND-""The address to be searched was not found. Or the program with specified
program number was not found in program number search.
Check the data.""

This should be enough for setting



On the PC software i use 4800 or 9600 for baudrate,stop bits 2,data bits 7,parity even.

[toranacar]

thanks guys. Ill see what happens. Great info

[toranacar]

Hi zaateandu
Thanks for this.
Just trying to make sense of this and make sure i have this correct.

(Baud rate) Example i just choose serial 1, i go to I/O and punch in the numbers 0 or 1?
Parameters 0552 and 0553 i can punch in values 1 to 12 which has baud rate of 50 to 19200?

(Stop Bits) im a little confused with 0002#0. I see 00020 on my machine without #

[machinehop5]

...Fanuc Baud Table
Setting Value Baud Rate
1 50
2 100
3 110
4 150
5 200
6 300
7 600
8 1200
9 2400
10 4800
11 9600
12 19200


I would try Sending the Parameters List CNC > PC for testing at 4800, then go to 9600. Another thing that may help you see what is going on with RS232 port is a Tester.

ussualy you use 0 as channel
baudrate i ussually use 10 as 4800 to 552 for channel 0
stop bits 002#0 menas parameter 2 bit 0 ,like XXXXXXX1

LSK will blink untill transmission get started adn will change to INPUT or OUTPUT depending on what you doing,outputting or inputting
i would suggest to start inputting a simple program like:

%
O0001
M3S100
G4X5.
M5
M30
%

Whne this program will enter than you can punch it out and check the other way

[toranacar]

Thanks guys again.

[QUOTE=zavateandu;2515616]ussualy you use 0 as channel

zavateandu, so does this mean i should punch in 00000001 in Parameter 002?

... I just noticed in Post #27 photo that XON/XOFF is not checked. Also, are you sure COM1 on your PC is really the USB convertor COM Port. Look in Windows Device Manager to make sure.

[toranacar]

I have checked and unchecked it.
So I should keep it checked?
