Hi all!
I recently managed to buy an EMCO TURN 120 CNC lathe with an EMCOTRONIC TM02 controller, in very good condition, and I faced such a problem as loading the control program into the machine.
The controller has a floppy receiver, a floppy for 3.5 inch floppy disks and I, naively, dared to assume everything would be simple, you load the control program onto a floppy disk, and then insert it into the machine controller and load it into memory, but not everything is as easy as I expected .
The controller does not understand the floppy at all, I tried to format the floppy in the controller, but it gives an error that the floppy is not ready. I note that the floppy disk is new and works properly.
Maybe there is someone on the forum who has encountered such a problem, or maybe someone knows the complete process of transferring the control program to the machine controller using a floppy disk?
The third day I try to understand how it works and there is no success.
I will be grateful for any information.
Best regards,
Roman
