To Send a File to the DNC System

  1. Edit the ‘dummy’ program, O1111, for example, (or whatever it is called on your CNC):
  • Alter the Yvalue or Zvalue, where ‘value’ is the name of the file exactly as you want it named on the DNC system.
    • If your system is configured for single version only then "value" must be a new and unique name.
    • If your system is configured to use the automatic naming function for new files then make ‘value’ = 0. For example, Y0 or Z0.
  1. Send (Punch, Output) program O1111 to the DNC system:
  • When sending is complete wait at least 10 seconds.
  1. Get the response file which tells you the DNC system is ready to save your program:
  • Select the Read (Input, In) function on the CNC. If required by the CNC, type the CNC file name, (for example, O2222) before executing the Read.
  • The contents of O2222 should have the code, N1, in the first line. This means that SuiteFactory is ready to receive the DNC file you want to save.
  • If there was a problem with your request to save the file, instead of the N1 code you will get a different code. For example, N7 means that SuiteFactory could not use the name, "value", you specified probably because your system is configured for single version only and the DNC file name you specified was already used. Delete the response file, change the value to something unique and try again.
  1. Delete the response file (for example, O2222) from CNC memory.
  2. Send (Punch, Output) the tape file you want to save:
  • When the sending is complete, wait at least 10 seconds.
  1. Get the response file (for example, O2222) which tells you that SuiteFactory successfully saved your program:
  • The contents of O2222 should have the code, N2, in the first line. This means the DNC system successfully received the tape file that you wanted to save.
  1. Delete the response file (for example, O2222) from CNC memory.
