To Get a File from the DNC System
- Edit the ‘dummy’ program, O1111, for example, (or whatever it is called on your CNC):
- Alter the Xvalue where ‘value’ is the name of the file exactly as it is stored in the SuiteFactory database.
- If you have multiple versions of the file create a second line with Xvalue where ‘value’ is the version you want.
- Send (Punch, Output) program O1111 to the DNC system:
- When sending is complete wait at least 10 seconds.
- Get the file you requested:
- Select the Read (Input, In) function on the CNC. If required by the CNC,
type the CNC file name before executing the Read.
- When reading is complete, check your program and make sure there were no
problems. If the DNC system had a problem locating the requested file or if
that file was not assigned to your machine, instead of the program you
requested, you will get a response file, O2222, for example, (or whatever it
is called on your CNC), with a coded error message rather than the file you
requested. For example, an N6 response means that the program could not be
found in the DNC database. Make sure that you spelled it correctly in ‘dummy’
program O1111. An N12 response means that the program exists in the database
but it is not assigned to your machine.
- If you got a response file delete it now. Correct the problem then try again.
