    Drip feed for Fanuc15M

    I quite a newbie with Fanuc control and with drip feed communication
    I tried to find answer before but do not see exact of my issue now.
    Main recomendations in general switch Tape mode and go

    Firstly I describe what I did:

    I was advised one guy before at first send back code from CNC to PC
    ************************************************** ********************************************
    Try the default settings to start with. Set the editor to receive a program and then “ punch” a program from the fanuc. The NC code should appear in the window. If it does not make sense you will need to change the baud rate etc until it does. You can look in the machine parameters to find how the machine serial port is set. Once you can receive the file set the machine ready to “read” and then send the same file back from the pc
    ************************************************** ***********************

    1 I did it and all work correct - communication was not broken and I got same NC code to PC as in Fanuc
    2 When I rotated switcher to Tape -> press Program softkey -> I got 3 communication modes
    Memory
    Floppy
    Remote

    a. When I am in Tape -> Memory and sent NC code it loaded until memory full
    after stop without any alarm but of course it is not all program and I do not understand can I run machine in such mode and will after NC code continue load again

    b. But when I in Remote and press Cycle start only about 430 blocks loaded.
    Machine run its and stop. If I correct understand it happens because communication was broken

    Now I am stuck what mode in Tape I should use for run machine with drip feed
    Can you clarify for me and instruct step by step how to get right result with drip feed

    I have a fanuc om controller and for drip feeding, all i have to do is go in tape mode, send the program from the computer (flow control with xon and xoff). Then,press cycle start and the program start.
