    NEED HELP RS232 communication for ACRAMATIC 2100

    hi all

    I need some help, I am trying to establish a RS232 communication between a CINCINNATI MILACRON ARROW100 with ACRAMATIC 2100E control (year 1997) and PC,

    could someone tell me what kind of cable do I need because I don't have any manuals for the machine, also I need information how to establish DNC(dreep feed), I am using Cimco software to transfer NC-programs.

    I have NO experiance with this control so any help would be welcome...

    thank you all in advance

    Why not install an Ethernet card and transfer your programs directly into the machine without drip feed?

    I didnt think you would need to drip feed programs into this control the memory storage is pretty descent .I use cimco on my hawke and arrow to transfer programs via rs232 if you are using a lap top you will need to get the rs232 to usb converter,then you will need to configure the correct port on the computor your using, theres a couple of small ajustments on the a2100 which I cant remember at this moment but if you need them I can dig through some of may data and let you know.Regards Greg.

    Hi when you hit the transfer program button and then transfer program in
    select the advanced tab to get the drip feed options.

    Sir is not neccessary install any ethernet board or any other thing.

    Only have to check the configuration of the communication software and put it into the A2100.

    does anyone have instruction on how to set up Ethernet on the 2100E control. I have the cable's just not sure how to set the Machine Control up for Ethernet?? This machine was set up on Ethernet at one time but the owner has forgot how to set it back up.
