Fanuc Om Upload/Download

[gotchips]

I cannot get the CNC to download or upload a program to PC/NC. The error message is "Can't receive start of a file". On the machine parameters the AGG sheet shows for example #002 is this considered the #0020 parameter. Usually I remember seeing a % at the beginning and end of programs in other CNC but this controller does not show a % at beginning but at end. Could this be why it does not rceive. Also the bits are considered from left to right starting with 0 correct?

Please, open the "Data viewer' window (Right click over the machine in the list and select "Show transfered data". Does the program receive anything when you send your program from the machine?

From my experience Fanuc & Haas controllers dont show the leading % (idk why) but they do show the trailing one.

If they arnt in the code, in the editor, the program wont load onto the machine. The % is the signal for the start of file and the end of file.

Also, check the parameters of the machine/DNC setup. Some controllers want %#0A for a file start. If your settings have just %, try %#0A, or visa-versa.
