How to Identify a Haas Next Generation Control (NGC)

There are various ways to determine if your Haas has a Next Generation Controller (NGC).
Screen Design

- This is as NGC Screen
- This is not a NGC Screen
The following sets of criteria are best combined to determine if you have a Haas NGC.
Serial Number
If the serial number is greater than 1134349, its likely a NGC.
Manufacture Date
If the MFG date is newer than 2016, there is a chance its a NGC.
Misc.
On the left side of the electrical cabinet, you will find a network port. IF this network port is NOT accompanied by a DB25 serial port, there is chance you have a Haas NGC. If you do not find a network port and/or only a DB25 serial port, its not a Haas NGC.
If you are still unsure you have a Haas NGC, a SFA Technician can help. Please submit a ticket with the model, serial number, mfg. date, and if a network port is present. Remember, pictures are worth a thousand words and always welcome with your ticket submission.
