It's been several years back now I had found a forum thread were a guy was able to locate all of the parts he needed to do the DNC conversion himself. I don't remember if it was on this forum or...

I am not sure. Apparently the E series controls are enough different from the U/7000/5000 series controls that I have access to that I don't know what changed in the newer models.

No you don't boot from a floppy on the CNC. You are only using it to store programs and possibly to backup parameters.

The gotek seems to be the most common one out there so a lot of people can offer help. Check this video out

On the EDIT page did you press extend a few times until you get to MS-DOS, then extend a couple more time until PROGRAM INPUT and PROGRAM OUTPUT are displayed?

Can you share with us which Floppy...

When you tried copying files to the OSP under the edit screen did you enter MS-DOS mode and the use PROGRAM-INPUT?

Also for the gotek unit I have these setting in my notes taken from this...

Hello all,

I believe I have a faulty MIV unit in my ES-L6 lathe. I'd like to know what MIV modules can interchange with each other.

I know that the last couple digits in the part number are the...

I'm kind of at a loss.

I don't think it helps with the spindle stalling but with the M34 I think you are cutting with the back side of the tool. Another idea change M74 to M75. It will make a lot...

Does this lathe have multiple spindle gear ranges? Perhaps your RPM is too low for the gear range you are in and the spindle motor doesn't have enough torque at slow speed. I am only familiar with...

Hello,

I have a couple of pictures for our LB15. It is a 1987 with the OSP5000L-G control. Perhaps this will help you solve your issue....

Just to report back...

I tore the MIV down didn't see anything obvious(Leaky Caps, Bad Traces). I swapped the IGBTs to see if problem switched to the other axis, it did not.

Attached is a pic...

Hello All,

I may have hinted towards it several months ago. I have bought an ES-L6 lathe with U10L control. I bought the machine to make some extra money on the side in an attempt to pad the bank...

ArtJ ...

You are in the right neighborhood, I have looked at it in the past but not actually edited it or tested anything yet. Worst comes to worst ...trial and error make sure there is a backup...

I agree with the G74 for drilling. I have the same problem using fusion for drilling I always go and change the G181 to G74 and modify what ever is needed to get it running. I have considered editing...

Your next step will be to figure out if you have the B(do not confuse this with DNC-B, it is something different) method option to load programs into the run buffer. You should also figure out if you...

I am in the same boat as you up against that 64KB limit, its a bummer. Others can give you some hints to work around.

When you try to transfer from disk, are you going into the MS-DOS mode? Go to...

Hey there kitty,

Currently I am too busy with other projects to work on getting big programs into the mill. I was just sharing some of my experiences with the original poster. That said lets turn...

I am basically in the same boat as you. So far the only solution I have been successful with is taking my large programs and splitting them into little chunks of 64KB. What I generally do is scan...

According to the scan of your spec sheet, you do not have DNC-B which is needed for to drip feed through RS-232.

I believe CMOS is the DRAM. You gotta love how Okuma will call the same thing 2-3 different names.

Perhaps you have more than one issue which always make diagnosis worse. Maybe the floppy disk has degraded and lost some info and you are only finding that out because of the MD issue. Or perhaps the...

I'm not as familiar with OPS700 as what I am u10 so I'm not sure how the memory is laid out. On the u10 there is 3 memory cards one is SRAM, one is DRAM, and one is Flash Ram. The DRAM equates to...

Easiest way I know to spot DNC-B is if there is more than RS232 port and an extra panel that has 2 LEDS and 2 Switches next to the main power disconnect. The switches will be labeled buffer operation...

Hey guys back again...

Just wondering, Is it possible to "rebuild" the install disks with the files that are on the machine in the various partitions? The Data Card lists which files should be on...

OK data card has on it:

tapestore-320m -
no other mention of tape store at all.

program.capa160m 0
program.capa320m -
program.capa640m -
program.capa1280m -
program.capa2560m -

Looking through the Data Card for the u10m mill, has raised some questions in my mind, and I was wondering if anyone could help clear some up. Really its just understanding their terminology.

I...

Try pressing EDIT, then EXTEND 2 or 3 times, then MS-DOS, Then EXTEND 2 or 3 times then PROGRAM-INPUT, then FD0:.
