1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Hard Drive and Ethernet option includes an on-board hard drive and network
capabilities (Ethernet).
The on-board hard drive has the capacity to store a large number of files, therefore it is
not necessary to remove a program in order to make room for another. The hard drive will
store the files and load the programs to the control.
Non storage devices such as printers and keyboards cannot be connected to the CNC.
Ethernet compatibility allows access to files on the companys network. Programs created
in a CAD/CAM system can be loaded directly from the computer to the CNC control.
For Pallet Changers: If you are running the program from FNC, all program calls from
the Pallet Scheduling Table will come from the external drive. A main program cannot be
started from memory that allows calling subprograms in FNC.
2.0 ETHERNET OPTION INSTALLATION TERMS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Each network and operating system is different from company to company. Haas
Automation and its dealers will make certain that our equipment is capable of functioning
up to the point of connection to the customers network equipment. If there is a nonmachine tool problem with making the connection, you will need a qualified IT service
provider to assist you. This will be at the customers expense.
When an Ethernet system is installed, we will verify that the proper software and hardware
are present and functioning on your machine tool. We will confirm this using our computer
equipment and cabling, not the customers due to the differences and restrictions to
access the customers network. During the installation, the technician will assist your
personnel in establishing a connection to your equipment. If additional trips are required,
the customer will be billed.
The service technician will provide written confirmation that the network hardware is
communicating successfully. This documentation will be in the form of screen images
showing date, time, network path, and confirmation of successful file transfer from our host
computer to the subject machine tool.

Haas Automation and its dealers are not responsible for debugging your
network problems.

3.0 HARD DRIVE OPTION

The CNC controls memory and auxiliary memory sources (network computer, CNC
hard drive etc.), are controlled though the Haas Device Manager. To enter the Device
Manager, press List Prog. The screen has two windows; The Device window, on the
left, and the Directory window, on the right. The left and right arrows change between the
Device window and the Directory window. The Up and Down arrows will scroll through the
selections in the active window. Pressing Enter selects the highlighted program. There
is no need to press Enter in the Device column; non removable device (i.e. hard drive
and net share) directories will come up automatically after a few seconds. The following
example shows the directory for the hard drive. The selected program in memory is shown
with a *. The selected file will also show in the Source field.

Navigating Directories
To enter a sub-directory, scroll to the sub-directory and press Enter. To leave a subdirectory, go to the top of the sub-directory. Use the up arrow key to scroll through programs
or press Home to jump to ..<DIR> at the top of the directory list. Highlight this line and
press Enter. Note that the top of the device directory is shown with .\.

On-Screen Help
On-Screen help is available by selecting the Device window (left arrow key) and pressing
End. To exit the Help screen, press the Home key, which returns to the device manager.

Create Directories
To create a new folder, type the name desired on the entry line, then press insert.
To create a new Sub-directory, go to the directory where the new sub-directory will be
located, enter a name and press Insert. Sub-directories are displayed with their name
followed by <DIR>.

Copying Files
To copy a file, select a file and press Enter. Notice that Source, at the bottom of the
screen is now followed by the selected device and the file name. The path or sub-directory
is not shown due to file name length.
96-0073 Rev C

Use the arrow keys to scroll to the destination directory. Press F2 to copy the file. Files
copied from the controls memory to a device will have the extension .NC added to the
end of the file name. However the name can be changed by entering a new name, at the
destination directory, and then pressing F2. This new name cannot contain any spaces.

Duplicating a File
An existing file can be duplicated using the Device manager. Set both the Source and
Destination device as the same device, type in a new file name and press F2.

File Naming Convention

File names for removable devices should be kept to a typical eight-dot-three format. For
example: program1.txt. However, some CAD/CAM programs use .NC as a file type
recognition, which is also acceptable. Files developed in the control will be named with the
letter O followed by 5 digits. For example O12345.NC.

Renaming
To change the name of a file, highlight the file and press Enter. Enter a new name and
press Alter.

Deleting Program Files

To delete a program file from a device, highlight the file and press Erase Prog.

Deleting Directories
Remove all program files from a directory prior to deleting the directory. If a program was
saved from a remote computer to the directory then they can be deleted using a remote
computer. If a program was saved from the CNC to a directory then the program must be
deleted from the CNC.
NOTE: Directories (folders) can only be deleted through the
network.

3.1 FILE NUMERIC CONTROL (FNC)

This is a feature of the Hard drive/Net Share devices only
A program can be run from its place on the network or from the CNC controls hard drive.
To run a program from the network or hard drive, go to the Device Manager screen (Press
List Prog), highlight a program from the directory and press Select Prog. The program
will be displayed on the current commands screen, and the name of the running program
will be at the top of the Device Manager screen.
Sub-programs can be called using M98, provided tsubprogram is in same directory as
main program. Additionally, subprogram must be named using Haas naming convention
with case sensitivity e.g. O12345.nc.
CAUTION! The program can be modified remotely, and change
takes effect next time program is run. Subprograms may
be changed as CNC program is running.

Program editing is not allowed in FNC. The program is displayed and can be browsed
through, but not edited. Editing can be done from a networked computer or by loading the
program into memory.

FILE NUMERIC CONTROL (FNC) OPERATION

To access and run an FNC (File Numerical Controller) File from the CNC controls hard
drive, locate the file in List/Prog under the device, change to the Directory window, highlight
the program and press Select/Prog.
Reviewing a program while in FNC mode.
1) Enter MEM mode, press PRGRM/CONVRS
2) Enter line number and press the down arrow - or use page up/down and arrow keys.
Exiting FNC mode.
1) Press List/Prog, press the down or up arrow to select a program from memory.
2) Press Write/Enter.
Subprograms must be in the form of Oxxxxx.nc where xxxxx is the program number. The
subprograms must be located in the same directory as the main program from the selected
device as the source file. Once FNC is engaged, all subprograms are accessed from the
external source, not from memory (9000 programs are a special case, and are accessed
from memory).
Example. The program TEST.NC calls two subprograms, with M98 P71 and M98 P22 from
the hard drive in directory CURPRG. Therefore, 3 files will be in the directory CURPRG
HARD:\CURPRG
TEST.NC
O00071.nc
O00022.nc
REMOTE COMPUTER ACCESS
This feature is available when the ethernet settings are setup properly. It is used to
access the CNC Hard Drive from a PC computer using Ethernet TCP/IP.
When using Microsoft Windows, at the address window in Explorer, type in \\<CNC Name>.
A Data folder is displayed, in which the files are stored.

been updated for your control and network system, this will initiate the network. Note that
pressing F4 will refresh any updated settings.

TCP/IP Settings
*(A) CNC NAME The control name you would like to show up on the network.
*(B) ENABLE DHCP (OFF/ON) Retrieves a TCP/IP address and subnet mask from
a DHCP server on a network (Requires a DHCP server). When DHCP is on, TCP/IP,
SUBNET MASK and GATEWAY entries are no longer required and will have *** entered.
Also note the ADMIN section at the end to get the IP address from DHCP.
*(C) TCP/IP Used on a network with static TCP/IP addresses (DHCP off). The network
administrator will assign an address (example 192.168.1.1).
NOTE: The address format for Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS is
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (example 255.255.255.255) do not end the
address with a period. The max address is 255.255.255.255;
no negative numbers.

*(D) SUBNET MASK Used on a network with static TCP/IP addresses. The network
administrator will assign a mask value.
*(E) GATEWAY Used to gain access through routers. The network administrator will
assign an address.

96-0073 Rev C
February 2009

*(F) DNS/DHCP The Domain Name Server or Domain Host Control Protocol IP address
on the network.
*(H) DOMAIN/WORK Tells the network which workgroup or domain the CNC control
belongs to.
(J) HOST NAME
1. For Haas machines with Linux FV 11.001 - 11.004, enter the NETBIOS name or
IP address from the computer where the share folder resides.
2. For Haas machines with WINCE FV 12.001 - 12-002, enter the NETBIOS name
from the computer where the share folder resides. IP address is not supported.
(K) PATH The name of the shared network folder. After a host name is selected, to
rename the path, enter the new and press the WRITE button.
NOTE: Do not use spaces in the PATH field.

*(L) USER NAME This is the name used to logon to the server or domain (using a user
domain account). User Names are case sensitive and cannot contain spaces.
*(M) PASSWORD This is the password used to logon to the server. Passwords are case
sensitive and cannot contain spaces.
(N) ALLOW HD (OFF, READ, FULL) Used for the CNC hard drive read/write privileges.
OFF stops the hard drive from being networked. READ allows read-only access to the hard
drive. FULL allows read/write access to the drive from the network.
(P) FLOPPY This turns access to the USB floppy drive off/on. When set to OFF, the USB
floppy drive will not be accessible.
(Q) HARD DRIVE Turns access to the hard drive off/on. When set to OFF, hard drive will
not be accessible.
(R) USB Turns access to the USB port off/on. When set to OFF the USB port will not be
accessible.
*The machine must be turned off and back on again in order for these settings to
take effect.
(S) NET SHARE Turns access to the server drive off/on. When set to OFF access to the
sever from the CNC control is not possible.
NOTE: Turning off both NET SHARE and ALLOW HD will disable
the network card communication.
