How to send DPRNT commands to FactoryWiz

.Net Framework 2.0 is required.

 

  Installing the DPRNT Service

1.     Create a folder in the C drive called FactoryWiz

2.     Copy the contents of the RYM Transmitter Folder (available upon request) to the C:\FactoryWiz

3.     Open FWConfig.txt, edit lines:

1.     Machine Name in FactoryWiz (must be indentical)

2.     Path of the DPRNT file on the CNC control*

3.     URL of the FactoryWiz server SOAP API (example http://10.1.0.50/interface/v3/dataaccess.asmx)

4.     Save file

5.     Run Install.bat to install the service

6.     Start service

* Most machines have set DPRNT locations, please see the machine manual for this location.

To debug this software, create a text file called debug.txt in the installation folder above and restart the service. The debugger will only be active for 8 hours from restarting the service.

Example 3 – Output Macro Variable

 

POPEN

DPRNT[VAR-500 #500[44] 1]

In the example above, the statement is broken into 3 section, split by a space. VAR-500 tells FactoryWiz the to store the information against variable 500 in FactoryWiz (must be added in the machine config page beforehand). It prints out the content of variable 500 in the Mazak. The 1 at the end tells FactoryWiz it is path 1. The path can be omitted If single path or its path 1.

 

Please see the the machine programming manual for further information on how to write macro variable programs.
