So I can receive programs from my CNC (Fanuc controller) but I cannot send a program to the CNC.
When I send a program I get 001 alarm. Right now I am just testing. So I sent a program to the laptop and it works fine. If I send that same program back to the CNC I get 001 alarm.
If you look at the snippet below you will see &HE:% (not sure what that means)....

&HE:%
:0142(HASTELLOY)
G50S2500
G99
M1

N1(ROUGH TURN WNMG 331)
T600
G0X0.835Z0.1T606M8

That snippet is part of the program received from CNC to DNC

First thing.

Before sending back to the CNC you need to delete those &HE: before the % percent.

The percent needs to be the first character on a line on its own. Like this:

%
:0142(HASTELLOY)
G50S2500
G99
M1
etc etc etc

Try that. If you still get an error the next thing to look at is the second line containing the program number. That first character : (The 'Colon') Might needs swapping for an upper case letter O like this:

%
O0142(HASTELLOY)
G50S2500
G99
M1
etc etc etc


Some older Fanucs will output the program number prefixed with : (colon) but only accept [programs back in with program number prefixed with a letter O. There's actually a parameter in the fanuc that makes it do that.
