Sadly, without line controller software you won't be able to load jobs to your machines. Check your mails later.

Thank you for your reply. So the machine should preform a zero set without the line controller being turned ON? I never tried starting the machine first so I am unfamiliar with this. Thank you again. This community is great. Sincerely, Katrina

My advice for what it is worth. Your description of the problem at first glance suggests a communication problem, now is it the bus, the SMT machine or the PC. The bus could have a short or an open. The PC could have a dud controller card. or so co
