I am a complete newbie to CNC machines so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I am actually an IT guy who some how got stuck fixing a CNC machine.
Basically from what I gather for my guys in the shop is some how the control's memory was completely wiped clean. The system was reloaded and our main CNC programer has since recreated the sending and receiving programs. When he tries to load a program on to the system from our Predator system we are getting an error.
Nothing has changed other than the system's memory being wiped so I am assuming that the RS232 cable and hub are ok. What i am not sure of is what the baud rate is on that control by default. I don't know if we were using the default settings and speed or if they were changed. I have looked through the maintenance manual and can't find anything referencing that port and our main CNC guy doesn't know where these settings are.
Can anyone point me in the right direction just so i can verify that the control and Predator system are both trying to communicate at the same speed?
