Copyright © 2020 by i-Logic Software
A Mazak Mazatrol program is not in a normal text format and requires a special protocol for
transfer through serial ports. For the File Type there is an additional item to choose Mazatrol type.
Setting it to this will allow you to upload and download Mazatrol programs from Mazak M32, Mplus,
T32, Tplus, Fusion 640, T-3, T-2, M-2, T-1 controls.
This is an optional add-on to the DNC Server software. Activate DNC Server first and then you can
activate the Mazatrol option. The Mazatrol option is available in the DNC Server trial version so you
can test it.
What if you need to use both Mazatrol type files and EIA/ISO files on the same machine?
Make two separate machines on the machine list with the same Comm port and you can switch
between them.
You don’t load Mazatrol files into the editor window. They are not in any text that can be shown.
Check the setting "Wait for Signal From Machine Before Send".
