To Read A Program Serially into Fanuc from PC

On SETTING page set Input Device1 and 2 to a value of 1 and Parameter 340 to 2, 3, or 4
depending on the communications settings.
In edit mode press the READ button. If program number is not at beginning of data you must
enter by hand before pressing READ.
On PC you must now send data using your software. Note: If using terminal program use 7
Data Bits Even Parity using ASCII (text). The Fanuc LF (line feed) is used to determine EOB
(end of block) so be sure that the software does not strip this character. Also note that as a
result of automatic ISO/EIA checking, the first line of the program will be lost - use the standard
format as follows:

%
<-- Note the first line is lost with Fanuc Controls as it looks for EOB (which is a LF or
Hex 10 in ISO).
O1234
...
<-- Your lines of RS274 G&M code inserted here.
M30
<-- Or G50 or M99 or M02 as valid line ends.
%
<-- Fanuc ends right on %, any characters after will be left.

To Send A Program Serially from the Fanuc to PC (Multi-DNC)

On setting page set Tape Code to a value of 1 (ISO) and parameter 341 to 2, 3 or 4 depending
on the communications settings.
On the PC you must set computer to read data in using the same software settings as above (7
Data Bits, Even Parity, 1 or 2 Stop Bits and to ASCII Data).
In edit mode input program number (example: O1234) and press the PUNCH button. The data
should now transfer to your computer fitted with terminal or DNC software such as our MultiDNC.
