Phoenix 9.76.0 Installation and Setup Manual 806410

2 – Machine Setup

Time Out: Specifies the amount of time the CNC waits before it displays a communications error if it is not able to

establish a link with a remote device.

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.

For serial messaging communication speeds from 1200 baud to 115200 baud are
available. See

Serial Messaging in the Phoenix V9 Series Programmer’s Reference

(806420) for more information.

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.

Using Phoenix Link: Select Yes if you are using the Phoenix Communication link program that is supplied on the CNC.

The CNC automatically enters the appropriate ASCII codes to the communication link dialog parameters.

Parity: Specifies the parity for the remote communication link.

Data Bits: Specifies the number of data bits the remote link uses. This value is 8 for the link software included with the

CNC.

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 and should not exceed the value of the Time Out parameter.

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.

File Dump Mode: Select On to configure the link communication protocol to communicate with link programs that

operate in File Dump Mode. This allows the CNC to accept part programs as a single uninterrupted stream
of information, as with a tape-reader style link.

Allow M65 Auto Reload: Available when a generic link communication has been enabled and allows you to select

whether the EIA M65 code is used as an auto-reload code or is ignored.

Home before Auto Reload: Automatically homes the machine before the next auto reload (EIA M65 code), either serial

link or USB memory stick, is executed

Dialog Start: Enter the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for dialog start.

Dialog Done: Enter the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for dialog done.

Dialog Acknowledge: Enter the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for dialog

acknowledgement.

End of Transmission: Enter the ASCII code equivalent to the character or symbol used by the host computer for dialog

acknowledge.
