Hello, im from norway, so try too use easy words

I just begin in a new company for 9 days ago. I run a fadal 2016L machine, and i have learned some stuff.

But now i want to connect a computer to the machine and send some files.
Is it a program for free? (my company pays, but i want it fast! )

I use a little bit artcam and starting to use edgecam..
Does someone know where i can get a postprosessor for artcam to fadal?
I haven`t installed PP before, so im a beginner

Type of control will be advertised on the front of the panel (Fanuc, Siemens, 88, 88HS, MP32, Fagor, etc).

If it is RS232 you only need to know baudrate, parity, bit's(ex 9600,8,1,N) and maybe handshake.
Use an normal FTP prog and send it have done that on several machines in the old day's.

Lykke til :-)

Vegabond,

We also have a full RS232 troubleshooting checklist which not only helps you connect, but shows you how to troubleshoot your Fadal as needed and check your cable configurations. I have attached the doc. We carry all the cables and connectors you might need and our software, FadalCNC-DNC can communicate with any control. The major differences between the Fanuc and Fadal controls is the cable wiring, however if you wire the cable for a Fanuc control it works perfectly on a Fadal control....all of them (CNC88, CNC88HS & 32MP....and the Fanuc of course).

Here is a link to the proper pinout to use for this application:

RS232 Pin Configurations

If you need further assistance, I know RS232 very well and can help you through about anything.

Good luck!
