According to the manual to access the ethernet parameters you should:

Press shift key
Press "?"
Press "down arrow" (on the number "2" button) twice ...

When we do this sequences it simply...

I never had much luck with Extratech :( ... I have a Vytek Rebel2 which uses the same controller, no one at Vytek seemed to know anything about it, nothing, zip, de nada. So I tried Extratech, all...

I also suspect then I have the wrong manual ..

I have this style of keypad (right hand one) .. older MG style I think it is called:

299528

When we did the menu sequence that is supposed to...

Yep, left hand picture looks identical .. so it *is* ethernet then! ... interesting.

The cable that was in there was not wired anything like an ethernet cable should be, so we assumed it was a...

Unforunately, no, not even a little bit.

As mentioned, I don't have a connector on the machine, either 9 pin or 25 pin D type .... just an RJ45 on the control board.

yes, but, it is not arranged like ethernet, it goes pair, pair, pair, pair across the connector ... ethernet goes pair, +, pair,-,pair



Not 100% sure, but, the cable is not wired like...

Hi, I don't need the cable, I already have lots of cables ... but, if you still have the machine, a photo of the back of the 25pin plug on the side of the cabinet would be useful, just make sure it...

No, that won't help even a tiny bit.

As should be clear to you by now, I have a in-depth knowledge of standard serial connections, but no information on the RJ45 used on the Extratech controller...

Not really, because usually on a standard 9 or 25 pin RS232 interface you know it is going to be one of 2 basic layouts, either DTE or DCE .. and its pretty simple to sort out ( as I have done on...

Hi,

We have recently picked up a Multicam PRO (10'x5') machine and it seems really nice ...

Everything works, it references fine and can be jogged etc etc ... except ... the serial cable.
...

Why not simply have your piece of 1/4" ally anodized black and then mark that with your CO2 laser? works perfectly.

Otherwise, I'd suggest a "contact adhesive" .. in the UK we use solvent based...

Hi,

We have an older Multicam with an Extratech M23 interface board and a controller under it ..

Some "helpful" person cut the serial cable when the decommissioned it, so all I have is a 8 pin...

OK, I currently have 9600 baud, but I'll try 1200 7E1 and set the dipswitches on the PAHIO to 1200 baud, maybe the slowness will help, along with the other suggestions, see if that helps.

The...

So, it *almost* works ... I have the hardware handshake working fine, transmit from the DNC starts as soon as I set a program name on the Amada ... but I dont think I have the baud rate etc right yet...

Ah ha! ... silly me .. I was using the SIO option like it said in the manual. I'm not even going to ask why you have to use PTR ... I'll be able to try it on Thursday, but, hopefully that should sort...

Hey, :0

OK, yep that gets to the params page, I was hoping the parmas would be labelled with something sensible :(

Any clues on which ones to check to make sure SIO is enabled?

Hi ,

I have an Amada CNC punch with a Fanuc control re-badged as Amadan 03P

It has been standing for a while and seems to have forgotten itself .. in particular, it seesm to have forgotten that...

Perhaps one of you guys can help me.

I have an Amada Ariess 222 with Amadan 03P control, which I gather is actually a Fanuc in disguise.

Its been in storage for a couple of years, and now...

Anyone happen to know the correct G/M code for turning the vac clamping on or off?

I can press F11 on the keypad and it manually comes on and off, but it would be good to set it in the program.
...

Well ... been a while, but hey, here an update anyway ;)

We finally figured out that talking to VyTek wasnt goingto solve this ...

So we spoke to the guys who make the controller .. well, they...

It turns out .. there is no seal in the spindle nose.

The spindle itself is lubed by air/oil mist. The cooler and pumps is for the transmission not the spindle cartridge.

The dripping was most...

This is not software related, its a plain old mechanical fault.

the heads on these are clamped in place against a plate with some "o" ring seals, air is fed in through one seal and back out...

Hi,

We have a little Universal Laser engraver, 25W CO2, picked it up in a surplus auction, fixed it and it works fine.

We have used a standard Windows print driver, and got some "OK" raster...

This was more like a teaspoonful in 5 minutes, but it had been sitting a few months. I few drops a day I would ignore, but this was dripping a fair bit more than that.

There is an air blast going through the spindle? Not sure there is on ours, air consumption is quite low. There is a oil cooler and pump, with a couple of copper oil ines running down to the spindle,...

So, having (finally) fired up this VF1, we are getting a bit of oil dripping from sround the spindle nose. I suppose it cuold just be leak-through as it has been standing a while.

If it doesn't...

Shame, I suppose it is one way of keeping the profits up. We ordered up the replacement fets anyway, should be an easy fix.

So since no one replies .. I guess that means Haas do not provide diagrams for their equipment?

Not a huge issue for people buying new or with the resources to pay for service engineers, but for...

Well, my problem is that I need the diagram for the axis drive card as it is broken, and, like yourself, I can probably fix it without too much trouble even without a diagram (as it is a rather...

Hi, has anyone got the circuit diagram for the motor drive cards on an early VF2?

its one of the X Y Z cards, not the A axis which is different current rating.
