3.2 Instruction of PC Communication Software GSKComm-M
This section is a simple instruction for the usage of the GSKComm-M during machine
tool debugging. For the details, please refer to the GSKComm-M Instructions on the CD.
GSKComm-M is a communication management software especially provided for the machine
tool builders. The GSKComm-M screen is shown as follows. It can realize the following functions:
upload and download of files between PC and CNC, DNC communication, CNC parameter editing,
part program management and editing, viewing tool compensation data and screw pitch error
compensation data, ladder diagram editing, etc. It is convenient, efficient and reliable.
3.2.1 Preparation for GSKComm-M
(1) RS-232 series port connection
Connection between PC and CNC
When both PC and CNC are power-off, the communication cable should be connected as
follows: DB9 male is plugged into the RS-232 communication interface on the CNC; DB9 female
is plugged into the 9 pins serial ports on the PC (COM0 or COM1).
Baudrate setting in CNC
The baudrate is set by parameter No.0123. When data transmission is processed between
CNC and PC, the setting value should not be less than 4800. (ex-factory value:115200)
Baudrate setting in PC
After the communication software is executed, left-click
the menu and select "Communication->Communication Setup",
shown in right figure.
Setting: select the serial port communication.
Port selection: select ports used for communication
(COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4)
Baudrate: Select the baudrate
(4800, 9600, 19200, 18400, 57600, 115200) (unit: bps)
(2) Network connection
Connection between PC and CNC:
Connect the network port of GSK988T to the PC or router with normal network cable.
