System compatibility

Compatibility description: 502-04137-00 belongs to Giddings & Lewis NumeriPath network communication family. Compatible with matching rack backplane, executive CPU and HMI interface boards. Widely fitted on vintage heavy G&L horizontal boring mills.

Function

Function description: 502-04137-00 is Ethernet interface board manufactured by Giddings & Lewis. It serves as dedicated network gateway for legacy NumeriPath CNC. It establishes 10M TCP/IP network connection, realizes NC program upload/download, machine running status upload and remote diagnostic data transmission between CNC and industrial host computer. It greatly facilitates program management and equipment maintenance of heavy CNC boring mills. It is legacy network communication spare for old heavy G&L CNC machine tools.

Installation

Installation steps: Follow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off rack +5V backplane power. Insert 502-04137-00 board into rack slot and secure gold finger connector. Connect twisted-pair Ethernet cable to RJ45 port. Configure IP address and network parameters via CNC software. Power on rack, verify LINK / TX / RX LED status and test file transfer and network communication.

Interface

Interface list: Backplane gold finger connector, RJ45 10BASE-T Ethernet port,on-board POWER / LINK / TX / RX / FAULT LED indicators for Giddings & Lewis 502-04137-00.

Diagnostic

Troubleshooting: No network link:Check Ethernet cable, RJ45 connector or network switch port status. FAULT LED lit:Backplane communication failure or onboard network controller fault. Failed file transmission:IP address mismatch, network conflict or baud rate parameter error.
