1 (Chassis ground) (Not connected) (Not connected)
2 3 2
3 2 3
7 7 5
4 and 5 looped     
6 8 20 looped     

Notes on Suggested Machine Control Settings

Nearly all 3 Series controls have a key lock or a switch that you need to turn on to change the parameters.
Change to Edit mode then change any parameters as required. Turn off key lock or switch and hit Reset.
On 3 Series Controls only the baud rate and number of stop bits can be set. Always use Even parity, Word length 7, and 2 Stop bits.
Control must have optional I/O interface and DB-25 Female plug to communicate by RS232 to our comms software.

Notes on Suggested Machine Control Settings

Fanuc 6 and 9 Series controls have a key lock or a switch you need to turn on to change the parameters. When you do this, the machine will go into alarm mode as you make any needed parameter changes.
Change to MDI mode. Change parameters if necessary. Turn off key lock or switch and hit Reset.
On 6 and 9 Series Controls using ISO format, only Baud rate and number of stop bits can be set. Always use Even parity, Word length 7, and 2 Stop bits.
Fanuc 6M(T)-A controls must have DB-25 Female plug to communicate to our comms software, and need to have a BTR board installed to run dripfeed. When using a BTR, the control is set up to use tape, and can Upload, Download, and dripfeed through the BTR interface.

Notes on Suggested Machine Control Settings

Set the PWE parameter 8000 to on (all ones). The machine will go into Alarm mode as you are setting the parameters. When finished setting the parameters set 8000 back to off (all zeroes) and hit Reset.
On 10-18 Series Controls using ISO format, only Baud rate and number of stop bits can be set. Always use Even parity, Word length 7, and 2 Stop bits.
The control must have a tape reader to do dripfeed. To dripfeed, go to tape mode, set up our comms software to Send and Wait for XON, hit Cycle Start at the CNC. To pause dripfeed turn Feedrate Override to 0%.
