Hello everyone, I am currently working at a machine shop and we have 4 cnc mills three are fadals and one is a HAAS VF-1. I am new to this whole cnc programming thing but I feel I am making good progress. I recently set up my computer to the cnc mills beside the guy that has been programming here for awhile. I can send my programs to all cnc mills except the HAAS VF-1 everytime I try to send it to that one I get code 418 Break and 411 Empty program alarms. I thought maybe a break in the rs232 cable but the guy beside me uses the same cable and can send the program. I have double checked all my settings and they match the machine. I have altered my program a couple times to no avail. Please help I am at a loss.
I have attached a copy on the program I am trying to send.
