Hello,
I am new to this forum. I hope someone can help.
We have a Seiki mill with a Fanuc 11 controller that we feed from a computer via RS232 from the Esprit programming package, using DNC. Everthing works great with smaller programs. My problem is with programs that are too large to fit in memory. Can I set this up to drip feed?
I have been told that I can connect the RS232 feed to the tape input and do it that way. The tape unit is plugged into connector CD5 (50 pin) and the RS232 is plugged into connector CD4 (25 pin) on the system board, so that doesn't appear to be a direct swap. Does anyone know how to hook this up?
Some documentation shows the tape unit plugged into CA11 (25 pin) on the system board. I have no idea what needs to be done.

Thanks.
