Hi,
I just purchased a 1981 Victor Lathe with a Fanuc 3T control. The control originally used a tape reader that is no longer with the machine. I have a photocopy of the programming manual but it does not have any information about RS232 communication. The manual is difficult to follow as it is filled with grammatical and spelling errors. There are symbols in the manual that don’t match anything on the control panel. (one symbol is a “O” with a horizontal line above it) Anyway I found a wiring diagram for the cable connection from DB9 (PC) to the DB25 (Control) and made the cable. I also found some info on parameters and TVON but I have no idea that they are or how to change them. The machine works well and I can operate it in MDI mode. I’m hoping someone can help me in figuring out the RS232 communication.
Thanks,
Steve
