CONFIGURATION FOR DIALOGUE WITH ETHERNET BETWEN PC AND GE FANUC 32i

1. INTRODUCTION
By Using a connection FTP server either with the EMBEDDED ETHERNET (connector CD38A) or with the
ETHERNET BOARD (connector CD38R), it is possible to download or to load any data-file CNC (Parameters,
Part program, Tool offset..).
It is necessary to use an Ethernet cross cable.
In case of ETHERNET BOARD , it is necessary to activate the option Data Server A02B-0307-S737.
The functionality ALLIO, is anyway inhibited in both functions.

2. SETTING ETHERNET BOARD (CNC SIDE)

3. SETTING EMBEDDED ETHERNET (CNC SIDE)
It is necessary to set the parameter 20=9
Is is also necessary to connect a HUB (problem present on PC DELL) and to deactivate, if active, the
FIREWALL (BLACK ICE) from CONTROL PANEL -> Administrative Tools -> SERVICES -> STOP.
Select [SYSTEM] [+] until the page “EMBED PORT” is displayed, select [COMMON] and set the two lines
indicated:

Select the [FTP TRANS] and do the setting of the IP address of the PC, of the port number, of the name user
and relevant password (GRAZIANO) {page 1/6} and of the work FOLDER PC {page 2/6} (where the files are
downloaded).:

4. SETTING FTP SERVER PERSONAL COMPUTER
In our simulation, we have used as FTP Server file on PC, either SERV-U V4.1 (http://www.serv-u.com/) (look
paragraph 4.1) or Cesar FTP 0.99G (http://www.aclogic.com/) (see chapter 4.2)

4.1 SETTING SERV-U

5. OPERATIONS
Activate the file FTP server on PC. In case of Serv-U, in the Task bar the icon “U” must be present, as displayed
on the following picture

Picture. 5.1 Activation Serv-U

Picture. 5.2 Activation Cesar FTP

To download datas from the CNC, carry out the usual operations, that is p.e. PARAMETER -> OPRT -> PUNCH
-> EXEC.
The data-file will be sent via Ethernet to the P.C. connected on the directory defined in picture 3.4, instead to
the memory card / USB card.

6. DIAGNOSIS
In case of missing connection of the HUB or missing setting of the option Data server, when you start a
download, the alarm SR2032 BOARD ERROR (DATA SERVER) will be generated to notify the wrong
connection.
