Port Designation
Specifies which serial port is configured for link use with the following remote
communication settings. Select Link, Messaging, HD4070, FineLine or Command THC
(type”V” controls).
Baud Rate
Specifies the baud rate for the remote communication link. The available baud rates are
shown. The CNC also incorporates a unique compression utility that allows the effective
baud rate to be doubled. For example, for links configured to run at 9600 baud, the
effective rate is 19.2K baud.
Note: For serial messaging communication speeds from 1200 baud to 115200 baud are
available. See Serial Messaging in the Program Code section for more information.
Parity
Specifies the parity for the remote communication link.
Data Bits
Specifies the number of data bits the remote link is using. This value is 8 for the link
software included with the control.
Time Out Delay
Specifies the amount of time the CNC waits before it displays a communications error if
it is not be able to establish a link with a remote device.
Transmit Delay
Specifies the amount of delay the CNC inserts between each character that is transmitted
over the serial port. Some communication links require a small delay to avoid missing
characters that have been sent to them. This parameter should normally be set to 0.
The following parameters allow the user to create a custom communication link on the
CNC by entering the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host
computer for dialog start. For example: The ASCII Decimal Code 33 is equal to the !
symbol.
Rewind
This field is only enabled when Link File Dump Mode has been enabled. Enter the
ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for tape
rewind at the host tape drive system. Enter 0 to eliminate the rewind command.
Dialog Start
Enter the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for
dialog start.
