I brought a daewoo doosan mynx 540 with fanuc 21i_mb control into the workshop last week and cannot seem to send from pc to the control from mcam 9 through a rs232c interface. I have no trouble comunicating with two eagle vmcs and an awea bridge mill with 0M and 18m controls. Ive tried setting all the parameters as per the manual, and listings for parameters (on machine and pc) from websites (http://www.aggsoft.com/cnc-dnc/fanuc-21m.htm and other similar) but still cant seem to comunicate with the machine. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, there is a Kitagawa fourth axis on the machine and i would like to remove it. is it a sinple job of removing the axis and disconnecting the cables and do i need to alter a parameter so the machine becomes a 3 axis machine. if so, i would appreciate any help on the subject.
Thanks for any help in advance
