WHEN WORKING WITH SERVO MOTORS RESOLVERS, BETTER OFF TO REMOVE THE MOTOR FROM THE MACHINE.

I had a memory corruption error and my table took off in the Y direction. I put my hand on the vise and tried to stop it. Didnt work however. Thankfully my table was only on impulse power and I was able to hit the EStop before it ran out of travel. I was not quite so lucky however on X when again, I had a memory corruption error pop up and this time the table banged the end of the screw block. Thankfully again, no damage except my ego I did not hit the EStop in good time.

Now, I know what is causing my memory corruption. I changed the System board from Sys 96 to Sys97, to Sys101.3 and it was not happy I did not do a memory erase to eash of the system boards.

the one thing I cannot get to work is downloading of my programs from the MACHINE to the laptop with CIMCO Edit. I dont have a floppy disk drive in my machine to be able to output to. 1993 machine.

The PC per say is a laptop... I have the RS232 plugged in the serial port of the laptop. I can DNC to the Fadal controller no problem, I can load program with TA,1 no problem.. just cannot get the modified program back out of the Fadal controller to my laptop for storage purposes..

Make shure your program has a "O" word on the first line; check the comunication parameters on both; use cd,8... pu,0
