When your current ODS project was created you were prompted to select a
communication type. If you selected and configured DH+ as the
communication mode you must also enable the 9/Series CNC to accept this
type of communication. The pass through feature sends AMP, PAL, or part
program configuration information out DH+ to a scanner device which in
turn passes that data on through remote I/O to the 9/Series. For this pass
through to work the 9/Series must have the pass through feature enabled.
There are three methods available to enable pass through:
AutoEnable -- If you system is equipped with the remote I/O hardware
and you do not enable the hardware for PAL use (using $RMON), DH+
pass through will automatically be enabled. AMP does not need to
enable block transfers for this method.
