Amada aries 245 with DNC Precision

[Arthur Grasin]

It seems that the controller expects other parity type.

Arthur, thank you for all your response in this thread.

Should I try to use one of the other parity settings in DNC then? Perhaps "none"?

My controller card switches are set according to the picture on last page and according to the Amada technician this should be equal to Parity=Even. Unfortunately the labels on these 4 switches is not so informative. The switches used for baud settings had good description on how to set them for different speeds.

My settings in DNC according to pictures below. (com port is not connected on the picture)

hi i just start the procedure to connect pc with amada aries 245. i work on the machine until now.didn t have problems and made many nice things. but time has come.i i want to make the connectin with pc. it looks like a mountain  .

could you tell me where did you find the baud setting on amada? i found only "punch code" and "decimal input". 

and i dn t understand the difference between "OFFSET/SETTING hard key" and
"SETTING soft key"

i m trying to find a pc with xp windows and a serial output, because i heard that "usb to serial" change the data when converting .till then i work on vista and a usb to serial cable.

and any help or tip  is welcome.

thanks for your time

Hello,

Good Morning I am from argentina its my first time in this page, I need to configure de DNC comunication to Amada Aries 245 Amadan O4 PA. I have read all the posts, and I setup correctly the boud rate in the I\O Card, But i could not make the comunnication.

Do you havew some more details about the comunnication and if I need to set any internal parameters?

thanks for all

I had contacted an Amada representative and they had given me this information on how to set different settings for rs232 on the aries 245 but I am still having trouble with sending programs to the machine from computer. There can also be 2 different types of pin outs for the Aries machines the one in the first attachment and the second attachment I am unsure of how to tell which the machine is however.

Hello.

Does the program display any errors?

[Randyr]

The Aries timesout and gives a read error after a minute but we are using Predator CNC editor and it isn't giving any errors so I am assuming we have the wrong pin playout for our rs232c to 9 pin.

Please, try to receive a very small program (2-3 lines) from the machine first.
It will help to find the correct settings.

1. Right click over the machine and select "Show transferred data"
2. Try to manually receive a small program from the machine.
3. In the "Transferred data" window you'll see incoming data.
4. Resize the window that the all received data will be visible (_including_ the right column).

Please, send me a screenshot of the received data. I'll verify it.
