1) Description of application
This application is intended for automatically conversion of the cutting machine ESSI
files into most standards EIA files (for example: Engelhard, Hypertherm, Messer, Koike,
Fanuc controllers).
2) Installation of application
Requirements: WINDOWS 2000, XP, Pentium III, IV with 128 Mb RAM
In order to install the application is necessary to run the setup.exe file located on your
distribution CD and follow the installation steps.
In you install a DEMO version, the marking instruction for EIA code will not be
generated and also, only ENGELHARDT and HYPERTHERM EIA controller is
available for testing
Specifications for TRIBON environment:
In order to be able to convert the cutting TRIBON post processed files is necessary to
make the following setting in the default postprocessor file:
INCR_OR_ABS=INCR
This mean that the resulting TRIBON post processed files will be generated in
INCREMENTAL mode. This is absolute necessary in order to the resulted EIA code to
be correct. Also, if you have some special setting (for example a custom burning start)
you must take into account, because you should make the same settings for EssiToEia
application, so as the application will analyze the input files according to these settings.
Bellow is a sample TRIBON postprocessor file which will use for cutting files the
CNC2000 controller (the license for this controller is included in Tribon HULL license).
