M32 887 Tape I/O error

Hi all,

I scoured this forum for 877 errors on M32 controls but could not really get good posts.

I have the same problem on two different machines:

AJV-18 Vertical Mill
H400 Horizontal Mill

Both M32 controls.

We drip feed for about 40 min. and then an 887 Tape I/O ((Check parameters for incorrect settings) error appears.

I checked all G parameters that have to do anything with getting data in and out.
G1
G10

G19
G20
G21
G22
G23

G55
G56
G57
G58
G59

I am using the http://www.highlanddnc.com/ ShopLink FLASH 2.0, "DNC in a box" as my sending unit.

Stop bits are set to 7 on the sending config file and 8 in the M32 control.

I checked all other G parameters and they matched my parameter sheets.

Are there any other parameters that I need to attend to that effect Drip Feeding?


I just talked to Jerry from Highland DNC and he suggested to take out all comments in the part file.
We are test running it again now.


Thanks for any help.
