Hi Everyone,
Newbie poster, but not a newbie machinist. I'll try and keep it as short as possible.
I have encountered some serious communication problems this week. I tired searching around this forum, but I was unable to find anything close to my situation.
I have a Kitamura Mycenter 1/Fanuc 6M and a Mori Seiki AL-20/OT in my shop.
At times I have had spotty problems cummunicating back and forth in the past, but never to the point where it wouldn't work at all.
I am running 4800 baud on both. This last week I have been getting consistent error messages 001, or 085. Both alarms having to do with
baud rate/framing/parity issues.
I replaced the cable thinking maybe that was the problem. No help.
I tried a different computer, it will send one program to the lathe, but will give me an alarm sending the same program to the mill. The normal computer wont send the same program to either machine.
I am so lost, it is unbelievable. I have parts due this week and at this point I don't know if I will be able to finish them.
Please help ASAP.
Brian
