Hi all,

I have an Allen Bradley 8200 with an 8000-IOBD operator communications board, which adds a 25 pin serial connection for loading NC files. This controller is part of a large welding setup, but I'm specifically looking at driving an X-Y table.

Since I am missing some of the documentation, my question is what commands makes the controller "listen" for the file? I understand how to transmit a file from a computer using a simple serial communication program, but how do I get the controller to receive the file?

Let me know if I'm not being clear.

Thanks!
