Hello,

Here are some photos and video of my new DIY CNC plasmacutter.

The mechanics is based on stepmotors running X, Y and Z with chain drive. The Z motion also includes contact seek...

I just installed one. The communication settings seem to work with 19200bps and 8-2-N. The 8-1-O caused CRC error all the time, so I tried the other parities and that seems to work ok.

Otherwise...

Wuold you or someone else have an english Emco manual for 340TC? I only have a german one.

I do have the english manuals from Siemens (excellent website!) for the controller.

The problem was a mystery NC parameter bit that needed to be changed.
Before that, I always got "einbage gesperrt" which is something like "input prohibited".

After that, I managed to get the...

Nobody with a lathe using this control?
Or is this too stupid a question?

It's a hobby project to get the lathe going and not
progressing too fast.. I'd really like to use the lathe
manually...

Hi,

I'm testing a new (to me) machine that all works after
reloading TEA1 etc. to controller.
I have not figured out how to run the spindle manually..

I can jog the axis and change tool,...

Now I have the MSD, but there is a problem in entering the R values at monitor.

Some R values are more than 256.0 in decimal, and the control changes them into negative values. For example, 296.0...

Anyone out there who could list the R parameters of their
VMC-100 with TM02 controller?

You can get those visible by hitting edit, reset,
writing "monitor", and pressing enter. Then write R00...

I'm afraid over the christmas holiday the MSD was lost from my VMC-100.
So, it is too late now. All is lost, unless I can find MSD that would work.

Propably, it is necessary to junk the TM-02...

Hello,

I've got recently an old VMC100 with TM02 controller.
I would like to save the MSD to tape, but I can't find
how to do this. The manuals I have only explain how
to get the MSD from...
