TITAN DNC on PROTOTRAK
Hi Ive got a Titan DNC units to use on my old PROTO TRAK MX3 CNC Mill
Im having problems with it not completing a large 3D file
Its generating a coms error about 3/4 away throw the file
I think its something to do with the handshake the proto trak
requires a XON XOFF on its setup it dosnt have this setting
Can you help or do you have an idea of a product that may work

Did you get the 5 pin cable? hardware xon/xoff requires you cable to use the 5 pin configuration. I also just bought one of the Titan units for Fanucs. Love it. The guy I bought it from on ebay is quite knowledgeable.

There are 2 pin configurations for DNC. 3 and 5. Software control only requires 3 pins. Hardware requires 5. If you look up in schematics for DNC you will see. the difference in connections. Always get 5...just in case. A 5 pin works for both setups.

LOL. That's why I order them, too. Plus, I don't have the patience to troubleshoot something that has a hundred variables, like DNC.

If you have a lot of patience there is no problem to fix everything. But you may have really a lot of patience.
