Hello,
I have been fighting with a problem for some time with a machine I bought a few months back. Our original problem was the Communications with the RS 232 port on the VMC. After re-searching and setting the proper parameters on the machine I could not get any posts to either "read" or "punch" from the machine. I called in our local CNC tech (ill leave out their name) and after 8 hours he could not get the com to work and after changing parameters for hours the machine will not read or write to a pcmi card in the back. I am consistantly getting an error to "turn off power" on the control now.
Does anyone have a list of factory parameters for the control so I can manually reset them and start over? The only parameters changed are the ones for RS232 connection. Idealy I would like to check 0-300 (im not at the control) in the table to be sure everything is back in order.
This has been frustrating to say the least. I called in a tech expecting to have this fixed. The result was a guy searching Google and randomly changing cable/ports/computers etc for hours. My computer even has com port conflicts now...though I can fix these.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have found a great deal of knowledge just scrolling your site. Thanks to all for sharing.
