I am trying to send a program from my laptop to CNC. I keep getting 2 alarms at once. the first is no program name and the second is program is empty. Gcode was generated with SolidCam.

Specs:

CNC: Haas Mini Mill 2001
Connection Program: Predator DNC
Baud: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None


These are the settings ive had to use because any other so not talk at all.
The Longer programs i have give the errors listed and shorter programs do not even register. all programs start and end with % and second line is O1000

[Machineit]

Once in a while Predator will give me an error of empty program if there are not few blank lines above the beginning of the program. Put 3 or 4 blank lines in and put your cursor on line 1 or 2. For a 2001 mill you should have a 5 number program name. Instead of O1000 it needs to be O10000.

You settings on Predator needs to match the settings on the mill, so verify both.

If you have your laptop connected directly to the machine's RS-232 port you probably need a 'null' modem cable (RS-232 cable with the transmit and receive wires switched on one end).

[bhuff90]

I have tried all variations of spaces before the program and it still gives the empty program error and no program name.

KayakBill, are you saying the send and receive wires are switched in my RS232 cable are switched?

[KayakBill]

I'm saying you might need a 'Null-Modem' cable. If you connect a computer's RS-232 port to another computer's RS-232 port you have to have a 'Null-Modem' cable for them to communicate. RS-232 ports were designed to connect to a MODEM so that computers could communicate via telephone. If you bypass the MODEM, you have to use a 'Null-Modem' cable, which is a RS-232 cable that has the transmit and receive wires switched on one end. These can be purchased anywhere that has computer supplies (Office Depot, OfficeMax, etc.) If you are not connected via your laptops RS-232 port to your CNC's RS-232 port than this would not apply to your circumstance.

[bhuff90]

I am using a USB to serial adapter.

[haastec]

I am using a USB to serial adapter.

Is your serial cable straight through for all pins? meaning pin 1 goes to pin 1 etc.
If yes, you still need a null modem. Look up RS232 connections in your manual, it's detailed there.

[philippritchard]

I will have a look at my machine tomorrow just check so try f4 scroll down and click transfer file from main prog to usb, I just write progs straight onto the usb stick on my laptop with notepad.
I have some prog examples for you to copy & paste. "sadly in metric hope you can cope"

[beege]

My DNC program is set up to send the % before and after the program. If I send a program with a % already in it, I get the empty program alarm. Try sending without the %.

[Machineit]

What in the world is all this?

I will have a look at my machine tomorrow just check so try f4 scroll down and click transfer file from main prog to usb, I just write progs straight onto the usb stick on my laptop with notepad.
I have some prog examples for you to copy & paste. "sadly in metric hope you can cope"
