    I've got a YCM NXV1020A with the same control I would guess. You will need to make sure your PCMCIA card is selected in the settings. I can't remember the number off the top of my head, but I think you set the channel to 4 (press the offset button twice to get to this screen if I remember correctly)

    My process goes like this:

    This is for DNC'ing a program - if you want to actually load the program onto the controller, I can probably walk you through that also.

    Save the .nc file to a pcmcia/sd card adapter on the computer
    Place card in the machine
    Press "Tape" button
    Press "Program" button
    This is a little fuzzy, but something like this:
    Right arrow on the screen until you see DIR - Press that
    Press the Change Device
    Select Card
    Select Refresh (should bring up a list of files on the card)
    Look at the number to the left of the file you want to run
    Hit the reset button (in case a program was running previously - otherwise it might give you CNC still running error)
    Press the number of program you want to run
    Select DNC Set
    Hit the green button to start the program

    Re: FANUC OM PC-CNC

    Thanks for reply, but my machine doesnt have slot to the PCMIA, we use a rs232 wire 25pin(cnc)-9pin(pc) i used this configuration: DNC software. CNC and DNC settings for Fanuc 0M. but when i put the 0038 and 0051 parameters, apears a alarm (000 ALARM P/S) i use the software "dnc precision" and i did that to ask a program:

    -EDIT mode
    -PRGRM
    - i put the name of the program (for exmple : O1001)
    -OUTPUT START

    and i send the program from the pc, but the machine does nothing, I think there are many things that are not right but i dont know how to solve them, need someone to guide me, please help!

    Sorry, but I don't use RS232 any longer - actually that was the reason for upgrading to a new YCM machine for me - my programs are way too large to transfer via rs232 on the old machine. Hopefully someone else can help you.
