Trouble Communicating with the CNC
The CncGcoder
®
HD will communicate with most CNCs with an RS-232 serial port. If you
are having trouble communicating, try the following tips
¾ Send to the Palm first. If odd characters are received, most likely there is a parity or
baud rate problem.
¾ Make sure both the CNC and the CncGcoder
®
are set to ISO data format (7 data
bits and even parity)
¾ Make sure the baud rates match.
¾ Make sure the handshaking on the CncGcoder
®
HD and the CNC are the same. If
they are different, the unit may time out with no data sent.
¾ If the unit times out after 30 sec., there may be a cabling issue. Check the pin out for
the CNC serial port.
¾ If the CncGcoder
®
HD receives the programs but can not send to the machine, try
turning on the leader an increasing the send delay (See Setting the Advanced
Settings)
¾ Make sure the receiving end is always ready first.
