RS-232 Responses
The xP command is presently the only command that responds with data. It returns
a single line consisting of:
xnnn.nnn
xnnn.nnnR
xOn
(servo at standstill at position nnn.nnn) or
(servo in motion past position nnn.nnn) or
(servo is off with reason n) or
xLn (servo Home position lost with reason n)
Remote Operation with a FANUC CNC Control (HRT & HA5C)
FANUC control set-up requirements
There are several requirements that must be met before a Haas Servo Control can
be interfaced with a FANUC controlled mill. These are as follows:
1. FANUC control with custom macro enabled and Parameter 6001, bits 1 and 4
set to “1”.
2. A serial port on the FANUC control must be available for use by the Haas rotary
control while DPRNT program is running.
3. 25’ RS-232 shielded cable (DB25M/DB25M). Radio Shack part number
RSU10524114.
4. Shielded M-code relay cable Haas Automation Part Number: CNC
DB25 pinout: 1-1 2-2
3-3 4-4
5-5 6-6
7-7 8-8
20-20
Haas Parameters
Once the previous requirements have been met, revise the parameters of the Haas
control. The following are the parameters that will need to be changed. (Initial settings.
Change these only after the interface is functioning.)
Parameter 1 = 1 Parameter 2 = 0
Parameter 5 = 0 Parameter 8 = 0
Parameter 10 = 0 Parameter 12 = 3
Parameter 13 = 65535 Parameter 14 = 65535
Parameter 21 = 6 (see table 1) Parameter 26 = 3 (see table 2)
Parameter 31 = 0 Parameter 33 = 1
