Using CCL to Upload and Download from your CNC Console
Mazatrol Plus and Fusion CNC’s – Mazatrol type Program
The concept
SuiteFactory now supports the capability of uploading and downloading right for a Mazatrol Machine Tool Controllers as well as for all CNC G-Code Controllers. The following explains how.
When SuiteFactory is setup for CCL for a Mazatrol CNC, the administrator must specify a work number that will be used as a response file with coded information for the machine operator. (For example, 2222.) This work number must never be used as a real program work number.
At the CNC console, the operator creates a "dummy" work number, such as, 1111 to be used to communicate with SuiteFactory. Work number 1111 must never be used as a real program work number. (1111 and 2222 are only suggestions. The administrator can choose any pair of work numbers he or she wants.
The "dummy" file is used to command SuiteFactory to either retrieve a file from the database and queue up to send to the CNC, or to queue a file as specified in the "dummy" file to be received from the CNC.
