Mazak RS232

Mar 18, 2005 4 Replies

I keep getting "parity h" alarms when I try to upload from Bob Cad to Mazatrol. However, I can download fine from Mazatrol to PC. I have both setup for 7,2,9600,XON/XOFF,no parity. Any Mazak gurus out there???



how old is the mazak, i know ours are T32 controls and they were only

4800 baud and i believe even parity (but can't remember) i think the settings were 8,1,4800,even

also make sure you are plugged into the correct port, some of out mazaks had 3 ports.

Here is the settings for the T32 i was talking about, i was off on a few, must be getting mixed up with my haas

hope this helps

[COMPORTSETTINGS] COMPORT = COM2 BAUDRATE = 9600 PARITY = EVEN STOPBITS = 2 DATABITS = 7 FLOWCONTROL = SOFTWARE HWFLOWTYPE = RTSCTS XONCHAR = 17 XOFFCHAR = 19 PARITYINSERT = 35 USEPARITY = No DTR_ENABLED = Yes RTS_ENABLED = Yes IGNOREERRORS = No PORTMODE = 0 EMULATESAFEXOFF = No EMULATEWAITXON = Yes IGNOREDRIVERERR = No SINCLECHARIO = No

This is a common mistake on the T32 control. At the CNC control, set it 8,2,9600,XON/XOFF, no parity. (8,N,2,9600)

At the PC, set it to 7(seven), 2, 9600,XON/XOFF, EVEN parity.(7,E,2,9600).

Yup, the settings at the CNC and the PC are slightly different.

Good Luck. samurai.

YES, YES, YES THIS WORKED SAMURAI !!! THANK YOU :)
