First post and very new with cnc's. I am a student working in our lab on campus. We are using a hurco VM1 verticle milling machine. We are currently trying to connect the hurco to a pc just so that we can get G-code that we get from mastercam onto the hurco. The hurco is using ultimax and i know it will not suport USB.
We also do have the ultinet option but I do not really know what that means or what it is. The system version is 2.36.04eEditor type is Basic NCSystem name is Mill-AVCdoes anybody know any way to connect these 2. We would just like to be able to send programs to the hurco.if possible send files to the computer.and if possible view on the computer the part as it is being cut out. Mainly just being able to send the program to the hurco would be great.thank you for the helpyarn. Hey I used a VM1 when I was in machining school as well.
Great machine. You can setup a DNC with the Hurco but the fastest/easier way to do it is to use a pin/zip/thumb/whatever USB drive to transfer form the computer with mastercam to the VM1.

Any of the hard drive companies, all offer boot images that will test there drives. Machine Problems, Solutions, Wireless DNC, serial.
Just plug it into the VM1's USB port. Of course this will only work if the VM1 you are using has a Winmax/Windows based controllerIf it has the old dos based Max/Ultimax then you're stuck using the floppy drive that's on the side of the touch screen control. I don't know if you can even use the DNC features on the DOS but you may be able to plug an RS232 from the computer to the machine. Use the floppy. Save the program to the machine. The DNC isn't THAT complicated but you will waste time in your machining program that you could use for learning your G-Codes.
LEARN YOUR G CODES That is my number one regret is that I focused so heavily on doing setups and making parts that I used conversational and CamWorks a lot more than I should have. Now I only know very basic G Code enough to go through and look for problems.
Be a programmer, not an operator. This is coming from someone who was in your shoes not long ago. I am only 20. You can call Hurco and they will send you the drawing (NC) for hooking up DNC to their control.I have it on a old 1989 Hurco.Had lots of problems trying to get the rightconnections, as it is a DOS based Control (back then).

I would suggest trying the Hurco web page, select the support tab then FAQ. Enter a search string and see what is returned.Hurco CNC Machine Tools - Hurco USA - Mills, Lathes, 5-Axis, Superior Control (yet, try this link and save the first file RS232.pdfHurco CNC Machine Tools - Search - (would also suggest following this link on using windows hyper terminal, it's simple and included in each version of windows.Hurco CNC Machine Tools - Search - (http://www.hurco.com/USA/Search/Pages/SearchResults.aspx?k=Hyper). YarnIf you have ultinet then you can use a net work cable. The hurco is a FTP server/client. The fastest way is to use a FTP program on a lap top with a cross over cable.
You have to go in and give the hurco a address and give your lap top a fake address to use a cross over cable. Most likely if you are in a school lab they won't want to run a network connection to it through all the campus security crap. If you call hurco service they can send you a pdf for the basic settings. They even have a link to a FTP server program that cost about 20 bucks.
At work I run a Hurco VMX42, I'm not positive but I think the software build is 08.01.09.24.A few months ago the XMP board that controls XYZ axis went kaput and the following error message was displayed: 'No motion control boards were detected in the system'. The board was replaced, as was the 'backing board' (the board that all of the other drive boards plug in to, basically the motherboard) and the cable that connects the two XMP boards to one-another. The system was also reformatted, because the service technicians that worked the case felt like the software had gone corrupt after another error message was displayed (though I forget what exactly that message was).A few days after the work was done, during axis calibration, I got an error message reading 'MEI XMP motion controller subsystem failure' and the system shut down. I powered down and restarted, and all was well. I let my manager and boss know, and that's as far as that message went.This morning, after calibrating and warming up the machine, and then completing a program, I was away from the machine for maybe 15 minutes while it sad idle. I came back to the machine to find that the 'MEI XMP motion controller subsystem failure' message had returned. I powered down and restarted, and all was well again.

Almost exactly 2 hours later, the same thing happened, the machine was sitting idle and the error occurred. It happened twice more after that, once while manually touching off a tool (jogging Z-) and again while cutting a (very expensive and complex ) part.What's going on here? My manager promises we'll call Hurco or Brooks Associates in the morning. I just thought I'd bounce this off the community to see what other ideas are out there for what's going on. So this is still going on.
Service tech. Rewired power to the suspect board, thinking there was enough of a power blip to kick the alarm.
The board now gets 24V from another source, but despite the new 'clean' power, the machine continues to alarm out while running as a 4 axis machine.Before he did that, he also rewired a 'known trouble connection', one which is known to fail or be poorly manufactured (? ) resulting in power supply issues. He cut the connector and soldered the wires straight to the board. An hour and a half after he left from that visit the machine alarmed out and refused to run as a 4 axis.I'm at my wits end. We're falling further behind on a few jobs because of it. I feel bad for the service tech., he's going nuts over it too!Is there ANYBODY else who has seen this or something similar?Last edited by KChurch86; at 06:57 AM.
Ah, I've just noticed that it had a backplane changed. This makes it an ISA platform. Was the power supply changed? There is no other source of 24v in that cabinet. The 24v supply is what will give that error if it blips sufficiently low. It may be that you have something else that is breaking down and causing the 24v to dip and will cause this. See if you can tell when it happens as there are only a few things that use 24v from the supply.Things that will cause this are:Bad relays or the diodes in the relay bases (they are in the little LED block in the relay base).Proximity switches in the toolchanger.Limit switches.A pinched cable.
The most common one being to the unclamp button on the head cover.The thing with re-wiring the backplane with soldered joints is purely a precautionary one - for mostly intermittent faults, it's a good idea and quickly done.

No, for whatever reason the power supply has not been changed - though it's probably where I might start, if it were me.It doesn't seem to matter what the machine is doing when it happens. It's alarmed out while:- Sitting idle- Running the calibration sequence- Running the warm up cycle- Running an NC/Conversational program, while rapiding, feeding, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.It has never (knock on wood) alarmed out during a tool change cycle.I find the pinched cable theory particularly interesting, especially the wires to the un-clamp button. We (somewhat) recently had the spindle drive belt inspected/adjusted, twice, with the cover removed and reinstalled 3 different times, by 3 different people.First thing I'm doing Monday morning is getting the last 4 characters of the serial number. Second thing I'm doing is removing the head cover and checking out the wires to the clamp/un-clamp button! I'll post my findings here. Thank you both!!
I shouldn't worry about the serial number. I was going to use it to ascertain the control type.
It was then I remembered you had said it had a backplane changed. If it had an ITX control, it would have two 24v supplies and It would be easier to work out where the service guy got a 'new' 24v source.Changing the supply won't change the fault if it is in a relay base although it will be easy to chase the fault as it will only ever happen on relays that are active at the time. If it does it whilst idle, there are only about four relays active and swapping each individually with relay 9 (the indexer relay - usually not used for anything) will prove it out quickly.
