VR CNC Milling Software Communications Troubleshooting:
1) Your computer communicates with your Microrouter using an
RS232 serial cable. Check the RS232 cable is securely plugged
into a valid COM port on the computer. Note that COM ports are
sometimes labelled as serial ports. Identify whether the COM
port being used is labelled as COM1 or COM2. The opposite end
of this cable is securely plugged into the RS232 port located on
the right end panel of the Microrouter cabinet.
2) Check all mains power connections are correctly fitted and
secure. Power up the Microrouter, using the square, red, on/off
switch, located on the right end panel of the Microrouter cabinet.
The switch illuminates when power is being supplied to the
machine. If no power is present, switch off the mains supply,
then wait at least 5 minutes before removing the electrical access
plate. Check the condition of the on/off switch and fuses. For
more information, refer to Section 8 - Machine Electronics.
3) Start the VR CNC Milling software. From the main menubar at
the top of the VR CNC Milling software screen, click “Setup |
Setup Machine Parameters”. You may be required to enter a
password. The default password is “denny”. Type the password
and click [OK]. The "Machine Properties" window will open. You
can configure the type (name) of CNC machine attached to your
pc and any COM port settings from this window.
4) The “Machine Properties” window will open with the name of the
current (active) machine highlighted and its listing expanded.
Note that there are a number of Microrouter versions to choose
from. The active machine name in the software must match the
name and version of your CNC machine - this information is
printed on the CE identification panel, usually applied to the back
panel of the Microrouter cabinet.
For example, if “Microrouter Version 3” is printed on your CE
identification panel, the VR CNC Milling software must have
“RouterV3” set as the active machine. If the correct machine
name is NOT listed as the active machine, right click over the
required machine name title to display a pop-up menu. Click
“Make Active”, then click [OK] and restart the VR CNC Milling
software. Re-open the "Machine Properties" window to check
that the changes have been applied.
The password used to
access the "Machine
Properties" window can
be changed by the user.
Remember that the
default password listed
here will not be
recognised if you have
changed it.
If you change any
passwords, we
recommend you make a
note of them in the
Notes section in this
manual.
