I have an LB15 with 5000L-G controller.
The machine has been working well after a fairly extensive repair due to nearly 10 years being dormant!
I had the machine communicating well using a 32bit Windows 7 PC and DNC6 software.
I was able to use COM1 and even got one of those cheap USB to Serial converters working!
That was a few months ago. Then all all of a sudden on a new days start up, I began having trouble sending programs to the lathe.
The files would appear to be sending and were even initiated at the lathe by pressing (PIP) (READ) NAME,CN0: (WRITE)
But shortly after an error would show on the CRT, "2561 RS232C READY INTERRUPT TIMEOUT ERROR"
The lathe for short while could send to the PC but now that wont work.
I tripple checked the cable, its fine.
Any ideas where to start?
