1 Maincon Control Software (Mill VER18 and Lathe VER11) - Load LAST UPDATED: 09/20/2018 Introduction This procedure tells you how to do these tasks on any CNC machine with a Maincon PCB: Install a new Maincon PCB. Remove the memory and software from the Maincon PCB and install it again. The items below list different types of software and their paths on the Haas Portal: 1. Mill Control Software : Service > Documents and Software > Control Software > Mill > Mill XXX > XXX.zip 2. Lathe Control Software: Service > Documents and Software > Control Software > Lathe > Lathe XXX > XXX.zip 3. Enet Firmware version & : Service > Documents and Software > Control Software > Mill (Classic Haas Control) > Mill 17.07A > Communications Firmware> XXX.zip 4. Software Readme file: Service > Documents and Software > Control Software > readme Software Load.txt 5. Software Load Assistant Guide: Service > Training > Procedure > Software Load Assistant 6. Parameter Checker Program: Service > Documents and Software > Control Software > Parameter Program > XXX.zip Important: When this procedure is completed, make sure that the correct optional functions are enabled. ENTER THE BILL TIME CODE IF AVAILABLE. If the Bill Time code is not available, be sure to increase the time to the maximum date permitted from the Haas portal. Prerequisites Use a USB memory device with back up files created with MACHINE DATA BACKUP (MILL16.XX AND HIGHER, AND LATHE 9.XX AND HIGHER), check the back of the control cabinet for the USB memory stick or contact service@haascnc.com to get the backup files.

14 Procedures Necessary after a Control Software Update After you install and initialize the software and use the Parameter Checker Program, do these procedures: Zero Return All Axes SIDE-MOUNT TOOL CHANGER - SPINDLE ORIENTATION OFFSET - PARAMETER 257 UMBRELLA TOOL CHANGER - SPINDLE ORIENTATION OFFSET - PARAMETER 257 VMC SIDE-MOUNT TOOL CHANGER - SET PARAMETER 64 - Z AXIS TOOL CHANGE OFFSET UMBRELLA TOOL CHANGER - SET PARAMETER 64 - Z AXIS TOOL CHANGE OFFSET Test the spindle RPM Test coolant operation Test the chip auger WIRELESS INTUITIVE PROBE SYSTEM (WIPS) CALIBRATION Test the remote jog handle Test the tool changer Important: When this procedure is completed, make sure that the correct optional functions are enabled. ENTER THE BILL TIME CODE IF AVAILABLE. If the Bill Time code is not available, be sure to increase the time to the maximum date permitted from the Haas portal. Note: When all of these procedures are completed, cycle the power (1) time. Note: To operate correctly, a replacement Maincon must have a Mocon firmware version that is the same as, or higher than, the version of the initial Maincon. The replacement Maincon must also have the the same, or higher, Communications Firmware ( Floppy ) version. If necessary, do the MOCON FIRMWARE UPGRADE and the COMMUNICATIONS FIRMWARE ("FLOPPY VERSION") REPLACEMENT FOR A MAINCON PROCESSOR. Note: You must create new backup files. Page 14 of 14 pages
