ESSI Program Termination
This parameter allows the operator to tell the CNC which ESSI code (0,63, 64 99, / or =)
is used as machine stop.
Download Updates
Allows the operator to download CNC software updates through the link communication
to the host PC. To use this feature, the “Using Phoenix Link” parameter must be set to
YES. The new update file must be placed in the same folder location as the Link
software. When the Update Software soft key is pressed on the Special Password screen,
the CNC searches for the new software update through the link rather than the floppy
drive.
Use Multi Drop
Allows the CNC to work with the Phoenix Link software multi-drop feature. The multi-
drop feature allows the Phoenix Link software to communicate with multiple controls to
one communications port at the host PC. Up to eight controls can be supported with the
multi-drop feature.
Note: The “Using Phoenix Link” parameter must be set to Yes to enable this feature. In
addition, specific hardware (serial communication board Rev C or higher) may be
required to support this feature. Please contact your CNC supplier for more details.
Address
Defines the CNC identification address for the multi-drop communication feature. The
Phoenix Link software uses this address at the host PC to know which CNC it is
communicating with.
Control Monitoring
Allows the user to view CNC status at the host PC. Status for file name, position, cut
mode and cut information is displayed. This feature is only available with the Phoenix
Link communication software. Refer to the Phoenix Link section for additional
information.
The following additional parameters are available when Serial Messaging has been
enabled. See Serial Messaging in the Program Code section of this guide for more
information.
Flow control
Select None, Xon/Xoff or Hardware.
During Jog on Path
Select whether the CNC sends messages when jogging Forward or Backward on Path
while at the Pause screen.
Note: All messaging stops when the Stop Key has been pressed or when the Remote
Pause input becomes active.
