Hi,

Please accept my apologies for my first post being a question and that it could also be in the wrong section! However I'm doing this as a favour for a friend who isn't technically minded.

He's got a Heidenhein TNC 151B control. We've managed to get files from the TNC using a serial - parallel cable and TNCserver. However we have a couple of problems:

1) TNCremoNT fails to connect to the TNC, am I right in a assuming that this is because the control is too old to support GUI file browsing?

2) We've managed to take small programs off and put them back on to the machine, using TNCserver and the 'read-in offered program' option within the control. However we can't get the following program back on to the machine (it came off fine). We receive a 'wrong program data' error on the control screen. What are we doing wrong? The code ran fine when it was on the machine! Within the user options the machine lists 1418 blocks free (I am assuming this is memory)

If I attempt to backplot the code in NCplot I get an 'Invalid Character' error. But after much fiddling I can't find anything that looks incorrect.

The only other thought I have, is that I've read posts regarding 'trickling' programs to a control. Is this something we need to be investigating / using for this control?

Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Code of the dodgy program is below:

Hi I'm new to this forum, but I have exactly the same problem as above. Small programs OK large once fail as described above.
The only difference is that the control I have problems with is a TNC 155

Could it be some thing with the setting of the serial port. Eg. FIFO buffer ???

Alib: Did you ever solve the problem?
