PCMDIS/NC Expereinces?

Hi all,

Have been given the task of getting PCDMIS NC going on one of our machining centres for an demonstration here in Australia.

Would love to hear from anyone with prior experience using this software, and more importantly the NC server application.

Have been trying in vain to set up comms between the PC and M/C, followed the instructions and succesfully verified comms using HyperTerminal, but upon opening NC Server and defining a machine and specifying the serial type interface, I get the error message "Cannot Open Serial Port".

As far as I can tell, I have followed instructions to the letter, but to no avail.

Would appreciate anyones comments on the possible solution to this problem.

Cheers, and have a lovely weekend.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. It seems the problem I was having was that when I opened NC Server, it was opening PCDMIS in the background in ONLINE mode. After renaming the interface.dll file to interfac1.dll I now have successful comms between the M/C and NC Server.

    All is well, case closed!
