NC Initialization

[chasshannon]

When I initiate the log on in NC16. I keep getting a initialization failure. Any Ideas?

This is a known issue. The FunctionPlc has a timer that is too short. Open the "ppnc_function.plc" within the IDE project. I am attaching a screenshot. Scroll down to the first if statement. It should look like the code box below.

Code:

// -------------------- Handshake GUI Initialize Bit - Login --------------
if (CommandReg == UI_Initialize)
{
    CommandReg = UI_None
    // Send Initialized Handshake - Dwell 100 msec for slower PC's
    call timer(0.1)
    send1 "Initialized"
}

Change the timer to 1 to 2 seconds. You will have to $$$***, SAVE, $$$, Build and Download, SAVE, $$$ and reconnect with the NC software after making this change.
