I have old Reichenbacher ranc210am router with Siemens 810M controller. It was powered year ago then left. Now I'm trying to move it again. First problem is that Emergency stop release button light is on and I cant extinguish it, no button from that panel (Reichenbacher) show any respond only light test button. Second, almost all buttons from siemens panel do not respond, those which respond do different function than it should. Here is controller photos ImageShack Album - 2 images

your machine has emergency. you must control emergency line.
and if dont work panel soft key you check connector between hmi plastic panel and hmi metal case.

Go to PROGRAM softkey, then press DIRECTORY.
Look for any program inside.
If no programs in the memory, the control don´t have machine data.
Can you post a better photo for the screen MANUAL?

I think that controller lost it program because of dead battery. This is video of controller [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZoU-pgUJWY"]YouTube - 100_7309.MOV[/nomedia] Now I searching for cable, think RS232 should do.

I found cheap RS232 cable Pin25:M - Pin25:M 1.8m LEMONA - Elektronikos dalys , and noticed that old computer motherboard has such connection for printer. It is possible to make connection with this?

your cable for siemens field PG. you can not use if you dont have 9-25 converter. and you must have pc-in program. do you have. but most importantly do you have system backup???

Now, I'm waiting a mechatronic specialist to come from Germany, but it will take a while. Hope he will have programs. I have some floppys, but not sure about those.

[erdinct]

how much money do you pay ?

[Alzen]

I don't pay My boss pay or use his connections.

[erdinct]

maybe you could upload yourself by pc-in. did you try it

[Alzen]

We will do it both, because my boss wants to start it working as soon as possible.

Hi just want to join this. I conected to diffenent CNC controllers and you can make your own cable. you find your pin configuration here

DNC software. CNC and DNC settings for Siemens - Sinumerik 810M.

The old PC is a good choise. But you have to use the COM port not the Printer port. Normaly this is a 9 pin. Do not use a USB to Serial converter because you need 10V on the high signal but the USB to serial only gives you 5 Volt. this means you will probably do not have problems sending programs from you CNC controller to your PC but you will not be able to send data from PC to the CNC controller

I will try to connect to a Sinumerik 810M to take a backup. Anyone know if there is a easy way to take a full backup. Programs, PLC program and Machine Data??

[erdinct]

I will wite as soon. wait pls...(group)

I never use LOAD PMCMU. because sometimes making problem. when you upload and download.

this is not HDD. You loading in RAM. After the load PMCN you must format Mem Util and Prog Piece. If you dont format this. you can not use all RAM for load.

the Parameter settings you listed here I belive is with 9600,7 databits,even parity and 1 stop bit. That worked for me

I see that on the aggsoft hompage it says

Parameter 5011= 11110111 (9600, even parity,2 stop bits)
Parameter 5013= 11110111 (9600, even parity,2 stop bits)

I had the parameters that you wrote so I did not changed the parameters. Just used Hyperterminal and downloaded everything I managed to download

[smoregrava]

I downloaded

COMMData

Is it possible to download the PLC program also?
