Hi can anyone please help
I am having trouble with rs232 comm, I can send from the CNC to PC no problem
But everytime I send from the PC to CNC I get Alarm number 5229 INPUT FILE NAME NOT THE SAME
Even if I download a file change one character in the header and try to send back to the CNC I get the same alarm

The start of my program is as below

$TEST.MIN%
G13
T0404
G97 S1000 M03

Please any assistance will be appreciated

You may have your parameter set so that file names are not read. Try changing the name to A.MIN to see if it reads in ok.

What are you typing on the command line when attempting to read?

I don't believe I have seen this error, but I don't transfer to OSP7000L, only OSP5000L or OSP5020L. That said I am just using a terminal program(terra term) to do my transfers. I have found that I have to receive a file in ASCII format but have to send the file in BINARY format. I don't know why that makes a difference but it does.

Hi
I do the following
PIP - READ
Then I type in "filename".MIN
Then I press WRITE

My file header is as follows:
$"filename".MIN%

Thanks for your assistance

place a comma BEFORE the filename....
this is essentially causing it to rename it

ok.sorry Wiz.. should give examples
PIP READ ,WRITE makes incoming prog be named A.MIN
PIP READ ,ABC123 WRITE forces prog to have a new name
(.MIN is set as default extension & is not required)

[OkumaWiz]

Try PIP - READ - WRITE. The name is already in your header.

Using the comma before the file name will rename it as Superman says.

PIP - READ - oldfilename,newfilename - WRITE

Hi Guys
Thanks using the comma worked
Now I have a different alarm when trying to read in the file
5238 RS232C device not ready
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

More info....
At the PC, is there any echo that data is actually passing through to the control ? ....... % at the end of file to inform control to close the file, & to terminate transmission

Are you reading in the SAME file that was punched out .... no editing ?

What transfer software are you using ?

[OkumaWiz]

Not ready means exactly that. There is not a READY signal. Either 4-5 need to be jumpered or else connected and being used by parameter setting to turn on ready signal. Usually they are jumpered and XON/XOFF is used ( software handshaking)

Hi guys
Have been too busy to fight with my Okuma for a while
But going to try again tomorrow
I am using NC Net Light to transfer, works well with all my other controls
Can you perhaps suggest something better

Graham
