In that information on the website, it shows exacly how the cable should be made. A lot of the time, the cable is wrong and nothing will work.
It is simpler than sending one to the CNC and would prove the cable is working. Something good to do first is to try to get a program from the CNC to a PC. It will always end with that last figure. One of the best ways to get an ASCII 27 is to download a program already in memory on the Fagor CNC. An ASCII 27 looks like a left facing arrow or a filled square box when you see it in a G-code program. And the file being sent MUST END IN ASCII 27.

In a pure RS232 communications system (without DNC), you have to turn off the DNC by changing parameters in the control (scary!), then you have to set up the CNC to receive, then you have to go back to the PC and send.

The advantage of DNC or WinDNC software is that the program can be sent into the control sitting at you PC. There is a new software called WinDNC, which also allows an 8025 or 8020 to communicate, but only for uploading and downloading a program. Please note: If the 8025 is showing DNC at the top of the screen, it is expecting you to use the DNC way of communicating. A lot of what I say in the following information assumes you have read and understood the information from the website. It will save you a lot of time and grief. This goes over a step by step process and tries to help you through the RS232 communications On a website: there is a section under Technical Support about the CNC8025 and RS232. I'm looking for any and all advice so if you think you may know what is happening please post. If anyone here uses this control I would be grateful if you could explain how you load programs, the software you use, and what connection settings you have set.Ĭould I be missing a critical setting on the control side or does this sound like a PC side problem to you? nc file to the machine it gives me an error, I'm not remembering exactly what the terms were but it seemed like a generic files not compatible/ file type not right error. Last I installed NCnet Lite, this seems like excellent software for what I am looking to do but when I use it to send the. I am not sure if I am missing a part of the program but I cannot find the options screen to setup the machine controller type. I also downloaded and installed WinDNC from the Fagor website but was not able to get this working at all. The control displays recieving on the screen but hangs on this step, I believe this is because Mastercam is not setup to send the end of transmission codes.
#Mastercam v9 fagor code
I have tried using the Mastercam post to send the code direct to machine but this has never worked. The coding is done is Mastercam X2 MR1 with a Fagor 8025 post processer. I am the first in the class to try to get this machine networked to a PC and have been having many problems getting it to work. The code is for a chess piece part of our senior project. I have been having problems sending code to our Prototurn Lathe with a Fagor 8025 control.
