Changing CNC Parameters:
To change parameters on any 6-series control, you must first turn on a parameter write-enable toggle switch on the CNCs main (mother) board. This switch is clearly marked on the board, and must not confused with the bubble memory free-mode (BMU) switch, also on the main mother board. When you turn on the Parameter Write/Enable switch, the CNC will display the alarm page. An alarm #100 is displayed until the Parameter Write/Enable switch is turned off and the RESET button is pressed. Automatic operation is inhibited while the Parameter switch is on.
With the Parameter Write/Enable switch turned on, and the mode-select switch in MDI mode, press the PARAM button, and page down to parameter 24. The settings shown here are for 4800 baud, 1 stop-bit, DC codes enabled (Xon/Xoff). The bits marked "x" are for another purpose, or not assigned. Don't change these.
002 xx1xxxxx
024 xxxxxxx0 (0 = 1 stop bit, 1 = 2 stop bits)
025 11101111 (4800 baud. See chart in Maintenance. Manual)
026 0xxxxxxx (0 = use DC codes, 1 = don't use DC codes)
To change any of these parameters, first key in the letter "P", then enter your new data, then press INPUT. Binary parameters are keyed in left-to-right as shown.
Once these parameters are entered, turn off the Parameter Write/Enable toggle switch, and press the RESET button to clear the Alarm #100. Also check the settings on the first SETTING screen, and be sure they are set as shown below. Display the settings by pressing the SET key.
Outputting CNC Programs:
To output a program, set the CNC to "edit" mode. Press the PROG key on the control panel. Type in Oxxxx, then press PUNCH.
Inputting CNC Programs:
To input a program, set the CNC to "edit" mode. Press the PROG key on the control panel. Type in the Oxxx number, then press READ.
