Send and Receive file with Fanuc Series 18i-MB
Hello, we have a client who transfers data from an old CNC with RS232 to a computer via a serial cable. They are asking us for a way to reach the CNC machine remotely from other computers. We have installed a MOXA NPort 5150 and configured it with the same serial settings as the CNC machine. I tried to open it with Windows Explorer using the IP address, but it shows nothing.
How can I transfer the data between a PC and CNC machine? Do I need to install any other tools to achieve this?

...I think the RealCom Mode is what you need to use. Then, each PC install a RealCom Port with NPort Admin program IF, I remember correctly.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I never worked with CNC machines.
Do I also need any software to be able to read and write file from the CNC fanuc?

I’m using COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE FOR FANUC because it is more powerful and also because it can be used with serial communication RS232.
It is specially designed for FANUC CNC though it can be used also with other CNC.
It has several built-in help menus that show you how to use it with your CNC.
You can download it from “The SOFTPEDIA· web page.
