Send an NC File to Your HURCO Mill

This details preparing a HURCO NC mill for receiving an NC file from a computer, and sending the file to the mill

Make Sure the Hurco Editor Is Set to NC

press "auxiliary"
verify "editor type" on screen
if not valid, press softkey "change editor" and follow prompts

Verify Hurco Serial Port Settings

press "auxiliary"
press softkey "upload/download"
verify the following settings for port 1:
Serial port 1: NOT BUSY
Protocol: LEVEL 2 (XON/XOFF)
Baud rate: 9600

Open Hyperterm on the Plasma-cutter PC

hit "cancel" for new connection
load file named HURCO (COM2, 9600, E, 7, 1)

Ready the Hurco for Receiving

press "auxiliary"
softkey "upload/download"
softkey "upload receive"
softkey "serial port 1"

now, serial port 1 status should say "busy reading leader"

Send Your File

in hyperterm, select "transfer --> send text file"
in the filter box, select "all files"
choose your file and press "open"

Now, if you walk back to the hurco, serial port 1 status should say "BUSY LOADING"

Verify Your File

when the hurco says serial port 1 is "NOT BUSY", your program is ready for review

You may review it with the NC editor, or you can press the "graphics" key to see a drawing of your part
