Re: Likely and easy question about G90 G91 Modal Zaxis

I discovered my problem. Using the custom M25 macro interfered. I learned that às well trying to use M26 as another macro. Beware!

Likely and easy question about G90 G91 Modal Zaxis <Resolved>

All,

I'm confused why the G90 stays active after I've requested G91 causing my Zaxis to limit fault. Likely a setting like parameter3?

I've attached my report and the main folders I use in the Ncfiles folder. The main file to load is the 1759 in the workpiece.

This is NOT a traditional mill its ...

Stand Alone Capable?

Just curious if the needed PLC things like Emergency/SV_Stop is incorporated can we run the Hickory app we build and not start CNC12? One clean app by itself.

Re: SV_PC_COMMANDED_SPINDLE_SPEED troubles

You got it, thanks for finding the Ooops. I'm running the Mill version looking at the parameters 65,66,67 and didn't notice 33. And wouldn't have expected that to be a factor in the Milling PLC. We are 1:1 so it's changed to 1.

Thanks a bunch!

Rob

SV_PC_COMMANDED_SPINDLE_SPEED troubles

I'm having trouble understanding what factors and maybe parameters the PC is using for this final COMMANDED Spindle Speed multiplier. We are just using the base M400 Hickory 2axis system on this. No USB or Virtual Controls. I'm wondering if I have one of the parameters set by mistake dragging this ...

Re: how to set parameters on single lines to save space for program readability

Keith,

This is for an industrial customer that has 25 of these Siemens CNC machines. My intent was to make the programming as similar as possible for their support staff.

So, we are using these parameters to create a custom skinning App the CNC operators can make adjustments within limits. We keep ...

how to set parameters on single lines to save space for program readability

I'd like to set parameters on a few lines instead of individual lines like the following. It doesn't cause an error but the parameters don't set

This! Is it possible?
N150 (#29056=#29158) AND (#29057=#29154)
N160 (#29058=#29150) AND (#29101=#29016) AND (#29102=#29017)
N190 (#29118=0) AND (#29119 ...

DEFINE <Program> Text Aliases questions

We've converted one of our production CNC machines from Siemens to Centroid and would like to see if we can figure out this Aliases feature.

Our production machine has several fixtures that we have a 3 proximity switch "bit" array we use to detect which fixture is in the machine and it runs the ...
