    Weco cad iii finish blocker

    I have a WECO CAD III finish blocker which is connected via a current loop card and would like to connect via rs232. Currently all decentration information has to be inputed manually. I seem to recall an internal switch must be changed but unsure if the onboard software supports direct connection to the lab LMS. As you know it is time consuming to input data..not to mention entry errors which may and do occur. With the volume of work we are now running, I can only imagine the time and cost savings to simply recall tray and block. This is long overdue and appreciate any suggestion.

    Some Wecos have two serial ports. One for OMA and the other for direct hook up with a Weco edger. Hope this helps.

    Sent pm. Cad III's do not support OMA. The serial interface requires the host to draw the device's screen directly.
