6 Serial Communication
By pressing COMM button on main screen
communication screen opens. By using RS-232
interface following operations are possible
- Saving geometry data of cycles to external PC
- Loading geometry data of cycles from external
PC
- Direct numerical control DNC mode
In order to use communication functions an
external PC equipped with a serial communication
program is needed. RS-232 interface connects
CNC to personal computer (COM-ports).
Communication program is not provided by GE
Fanuc. Any standard serial communication
software available on marked supporting below
specified settings can be used.
Communication settings of CNC are fixed to
- Baudrate 9600
- Data Bits 7
- Stop Bits 2
- Parity Even
- XON/XOFF
- ISO
6.1 Cycle Data Input Output
Saving data to external PC
1) Bring communication program (PC) in data
receive mode
2) Press on touch area CNCÆPC
3) Select range “from” “to”
4) Press touch area CNCÆPC
5) EXEC light indicates correct outputting
Loading data from PC
1) Press touch are PCÆCNC to bring CNC in
data receive mode
2) Start data sending on communication program
(PC)
3) EXEC indicates correct data receiving
During data Input / Output screen is locked, it is
not possible to change screen. To interrupt data
transfer and unlock screen press reset touch area.
If an error comes up during data transfer indicated
by ERROR light and screen needs to by unlocked

When inputting data, data are written to same
memory positions as specified during data output.
Example: Outputting from memory position 10 to
20. When this file is resend to CNC memory
positions from 10 to 20 are rewritten. All other
memory positions are not affected.
