how do i get mastercam9 mill1
and a mazak m2 to converse

[BMackinnon]

what do you mean ... to communicate with each other ... to load programs ... have it run properly ?

[ELF7676]

Yes I Cant Get The Two To Upload Or Down Load Any Thing

[BMackinnon]

are you using a floppy disk or a DNC cable ?

[ELF7676]

dnc cable

[BMackinnon]

obvislouly check your connections which im sure you already did .. but also make sure that your Baud rate match up with whatever program you use to send your programs and your machine. If you think that cable itself is bad try a new one, worse case you can always take it back.
what programs do you use and what is your machine ?

What is the post not doing that it did before.Not posting or not posting using the right post need more info as i am not see a communications issue post a post now issue.

Did you just load this to a new computer?

[BMackinnon]

Thanks for jumping in here CadCam, I thought I could help since I just setup 3 machines with a DNC cable, but I was getting lost at the lack of infomation.

[cadcam]

I am with you the nore info the better.
As I am a Mastercam & predator user but sounds like thats not the issue.

[BMackinnon]

yeah hard to say. But sounds more like a post issue and that is not something I trust myself enough to give info on. I dont like playing with my own but I will if need be.
