RS 232 Communication problems/Acroloc VMC Fanuc 6 GN

I have an Acroloc VMC with a Fanuc 6 general numeric control and I am having problems with the RS 232 connection.

I made a cable last night and tried posting to the machine. The machine isn't sending any error alarms, but my post isn't being received on the machine side when I send it from my PC.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brent

These are the settings that I found.

SETTINGS DATA
TV CHECK=0
PUNCH CODE=1
INPUT UNIT=1
INPUT DEVICE 1=1
INPUT DEVICE 2=1

PARAMETER DATA
306=X00010X0------leave the X as they were original
311=00001001---baud rate of 4800 make sure DNC matches
340=2
341=2

Your DNC settings
Baudrate=4800
Even Parity=Even
Data bits=7
Stop bits=2
Handshaking=Xon/ Xoff

This is the pinout of the cable that I use on all my machines. I have never used it on a 6 series control.

Thanks, Stevo.

I will check my parameters to see if they are similar to yours.

Does your machine utilize a null modem at the CNC machine port?
