Maincon Software Initialization - Mill Version 17 and Lathe Version 10 Introduction

Important: When this procedure is completed , make sure that the correct optional functions are enabled. ENTER THE

BILL TIME CODE IF AVAILABLE. If the Bill Time code is not available, be sure to increase the time to the maximum date

permitted from the Haas Portal.

Prerequisites

Do this procedure if machine data becomes corrupt, and you cannot restore the data with the Backup File Installation procedure. This procedure restores the corrupted data to the factory-set values. Refer to Machine Data Files for a list of backup files. This procedure applies to Mill 17xx-Series and Lathe 10xx-Series software.

Classic Haas Control - Machine Data Backup (Mill16.xx and higher, and Lathe 9.xx and higher)

Do this procedure to backup all of the machine data files on your machine.

For machines with Mill 15.xx and lower, and Lathe 8.xx and lower, do the Machine Data Backup (Mill 15.xx and lower, and Lathe

8.xx and lower).

To backup only the program files, do the Classic Haas Control - Backup Programs procedure.

You must have a USB drive on the side of the control pendant or in the electrical cabinet to do this procedure.

Prerequisites

To find the software version of your machine, push [PARAMETER] (2) times. Push the [RIGHT] CURSOR arrow until you find the CONFIGURATION tab. The software version is displayed near the top.

STEP 1

Push [SETNG/GRAPH].

Push [PAGE DOWN] until you get to the NETWORK and NETWORK - TCP/IP CONFIGURATION pages.

Record the network settings.

Note: Make sure the customer has a copy of their password, because you cannot read it. Only the characters ****** show.

STEP 2

Put a USB memory device into the USB port on the pendant.

Change Setting 23, 9xxx Progs Edit Lock , to OFF.

For mills with the side-mount tool changer option, change setting 155, Load Pocket Tables , to ON.

Push [LIST PROG]. Push the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] CURSOR arrow to move to the USB DEVICE tab. Push the [DOWN] CURSOR arrow to select the USB memory device.

STEP 3

Push [F4]. Push the [DOWN] CURSOR arrow to move to Save All - Back Up . Type a file name. The file name is not

important. For example, you can type the machine serial number. Push [WRITE/ENTER].

Note:

Mill 18.01A and higher (for 18.xx-Series) Mill 17.06B and higher (for 17.xx-Series) Lathe 11.01A and higher

If your machine does not have the software listed above, Save All - Back Up does not save the keystroke history file (.KEY). You must also use Save History option to save the file.

Note: Save All - Back Up stops if it tries to save bad data. You must use the other menu items to save each of the unsaved

Machine Data Files. For example, use Save Offsets to save the

offsets.
