Requesting a DNC file from SuiteFactory

If you do not already have a "dummy" program, create a new (empty ) program whose work number is one that your are unlikely to use for a program such as 1111:

Press: Program  Work No.  Mazatrol Program

Enter the Work Program number (1111 for example) and press Input  Program  Program File.

You should see the program directory on the CNC screen.

  • Cursor to the "dummy" work number (1111, for example).

    Press: Name Input.

    Enter: Xname_of_DNC_file  Input.

    For example, if the file in the SuiteFactory database is named M68423 enter XM68423 in the Program Name field.

  • Send this file to the DNC computer.

    Press: DATA I/O  CMT I/O  NC >CMT.

    Enter the number of this program. Press START. This program is now sent to the DNC computer.

  • Wait for about 15 seconds.
  • Press DATA I/O   CMT I/O  CMT > NC  CMT CONTENTS. Press START.

    The work number of the program you requested should appear on your CNC screen. Press CMT > NC  START. Your work number should now appear on the received screen on you CNC.

  • If your request was successful, then the program name you expected should appear in the Program Name field of the Program File listing.

    If there was a problem, instead of the expected work number, you will receive a response file instead, for example, work number 2222. A code number followed by a brief explanation appears in the Program Name field instead. See list of Response Codes below. For example, if you entered the file name incorrectly you will see 6 – No File meaning that the requested file cannot be found in the SuiteFactory database. Check your spelling. You could get 12 – unassigned meaning that the file that you requested is in the SuiteFactory database but is not assigned to your machine’s Resource Collection.

  • If you received a response file delete it before proceeding.
