Ethernet Set-up for the PC Section 1 Ethernet Set-up for the PC Doosan Turning centers and Machining Centers that are equipped with FANUC controls, Ethernet port and the Embedded Ethernet function can be connected either to a local area network or directly to a single PC. Description The FANUC Embedded Ethernet function allows convenient exchange of NC programs; tool offset data, system parameters and other NC data between the host PC and the NC. A directory page at the NC displays all the files in an assigned folder located at the host PC. Connection: A single PC can be connected to the NC via Ethernet port. A network can be connected to one or more NC units. A workstation on the network is assigned as the host for one or more NC machines. Data exchange between host and NC Data transfer operation between host and NC is started at the NC-side. Data transfer cannot be started from the host. The NC can access and display the files located at an assigned directory at the host. Data is transferred between the assigned directory at the host and the NC. The host cannot access files or screen displays located at the NC. DNC-operation (drip-feeding of NC programs in tape-mode) cannot be done. Windows Firewall In rare cases Windows firewall does not have Allow incoming Echo Request box checked. This must be allowed for communication between the machine and Computer. To verify the settings: Go to the control panel. Find the Windows Firewall. Click it. Go to the Exceptions tab Make sure the TYPsoft FTP Server is checked Go to the Advanced tab Look for the ICMP setting and click Settings Make sure Allow incoming Echo Request box is checked. - 3 -

RS-232 Set-up, NC Configuration Communication with CNC via RS 232C using Hyper Terminal 1 It is strongly recommended that a working connection between the PC and Machine be established using the methods contained in this text before using an alternate communications software package. The settings of other software will vary making it imposable to cover all scenarios in this document. Communication between a PC and FANUC CNC via RS 232C can be established, using the program Hyper Terminal. This will allow transferring of text data, such as NC-programs, Tool offset data and NC-parameter data between the PC and the CNC. DNC operation (Drip-feeding) can be done as well. Notes: The Hyper Terminal program is found on most PC s under Accessories You will need a properly configured cable that connects the serial port (COM1 or COM2) of the PC with the RS-232C port on the CNC. Setting of the I/O-Channel (on the CNC - Setting Page ) is normally set to 0. Punch Code is set to ISO Parameters at the CNC are set as follows: Par #100 bit 3=1 Par #101 bit 0=1 Par #102=0 Par #103=10 (No carriage return) (Two stop bits) (I/O device type = RS-232-C, using control codes) (Baud Rate =4800 BPS) (Above are the normal default settings on Doosan Machine Tools that are equipped with FANUC controls). Clicking on Programs Accessories Communication Hyper Terminal starts the program on your PC A new connection for Hyper Terminal is setup as follows: 1. Click on Hyper Terminal. Specify the New Connection by entering a connection name and picking an icon that can be used for the shortcut. For example: Name: CNC-1, then pick the GE -icon. Click OK. 2. The tile Connect to: comes up. Click on either COM 1 or COM2 at the bottom of the tile, depending upon the serial port number that is available on your PC. Then click OK. 3. The Properties -tile comes up. Enter data as follows: Note: (The settings below must match the settings that are established on the PC software.) Baud rate: 4800 Data bits: 7 Parity: EVEN Stop bits: 2 Flow control: X-ON / X-OFF 1 Text Borrowed From Hyper Terminal.PDF - Kasper Zweifel 3/21/2006-23 -

RS-232 Set-up, NC Configuration Make sure that this data is compatible with the communication parameters as set at the CNC (as per notes, above). When data entry is completed, click: OK. 4. Now, the main communication page is displayed. The title on top of the page should show up as CNC-1-Hyper Terminal (or whatever you named it). It is labeled with the GE -icon (or whatever icon you picked). Click on FILE, then Save. The connection is now saved as CNC-1.ht. Click on FILE again, then EXIT. 5. On your PC, create a new folder, for example: C:\NC Programs. This folder will be used for uploading / downloading of NC programs. Make the path short and simple so the folder can be located quickly and easily. You may paste some typical NC programs (Text files only) into this folder for the purpose of sending it to the CNC, later. 6. Open the program Note PAD. Save the blank file in the folder C:\NC Programs, as Program 1.txt. (The file contains no text at all). Then, minimize Word Pad. 7. Now, connect the communication cable to the CNC and to the PC. 8. Click on Programs Accessories Communications Hyper Terminal. Under Hyper Terminal you will see the new program start tile CNC-1 with the GE-icon (or whatever you named it). Copy the icon and paste it onto your desktop as a shortcut for quick access. 9. Run the program by double clicking the new icon on your desktop. The communication page will now appear. On the bottom of the page the setting details are displayed, like connected or disconnected, auto-detect, 7-E-2-4800, etc. 10. On the second row from the top you will see two small pictures of a telephone receiver. One with the receiver on the hook, the other one off the hook. Clicking on one or the other connects or disconnects the line. Make sure the line is connected. You may also click on Call to connect. When the tile shows Connected at the bottom of the page, you are ready to send and receive. If the Hyper Terminal page takes up too much space on the screen, you can make it smaller by dragging the top, bottom or the sides. Downloading from the CNC to the PC 1. On the CNC, select edit-mode. Display the program you wish to download on the screen. Suppose the program number on display is 1234. 2. Go to the PC. Click on Transfer then Capture Text. Make sure you do not click on Receive file. 3. Click on Browse. Locate the; C:\NC Programs folder you made. Then open the folder. Click on the file Program 1.txt. Then click on Save. The PC is now waiting for the data to come in. For 18i, 21i, and 0ic 4. Go to the CNC. Key-in the letter O then 1234, then press: PUNCH. For 30i, 0id 4. Go to the CNC. Press [OPRT] [+] [+] [I/O] then 1234, [F OUTPUT] [EXECUTE] - 24 -

RS-232 Set-up, NC Configuration On the PC the program text will now be rolling diagonally across the screen. This is normal. If the text consists of a lot of unusual looking characters the communications parameters are not set as instructed. (See page 25 for setting changes) 5. When transmitting stops, click on; Transfer, then Capture Text and Stop Text. This action will close the file. You must always stop text after capture text or else no further action is possible. 6. For the purpose of verifying the file content open the file with Note Pad. The text should appear almost identical to the way it appears on the CNC screen. You may close the file without saving, save as or leave it open. Uploading from the PC to the CNC 1. For test purposes, you may wish to upload the same program 1234 you just downloaded to the PC. On the CNC, select edit-mode. Re-name the existing program 1234 with another number. For example: when the program is displayed on the screen, key in O4321, then press: ALTER. For 18i, 21i, and 0ic 2. Now, key-in O1234, then press: READ. ( LSK is now blinking. CNC is waiting for data) For 30 series, 0id 2. Now, key-in 1234, and then press: [F INPUT]. ( LSK is now blinking. CNC is waiting for data) 3. Go to the PC. Click on Transfer then click Send Text File. 4. Click on Browse. Locate the file Program 1.txt in the; C:\NC Programs folder. 5. Save the file as a UNICODE text file, in case of WINDOWS XP or later, prior to uploading. 6. Click on Open 7. Click on Start 8. Text is now sent to the CNC. Notes on downloading to the PC: Downloading can be done into an existing text file only. You cannot make a new file after you click on Capture text. The program number that is downloaded is simply regarded as text, not as a new file. When you download text into a file that already contains text, the new text that comes in will be appended to the existing text. Different downloads within the same file are separated by the %-sign and the program number. Never click on Receive file Notes on uploading to the CNC: A text file to be sent to the CNC must always have this format at the start of the text: % (A single Percent sign on a line by itself). On the next line: O1234 (The letter O followed by 1 to 4 numerals). The : (colon sign) instead of the letter O is also acceptable. The file must end with M2 or M30, followed by the Percent sign on a separate line. - 25 -
