lathe one shots not working correct

[rollinschris61]

Ive just started having a strange problem where one turn and drill both pull up the one shot facing page and if i try the actual one shot face the machine makes a few strange moves the loses the X location. Its puzzling to me because i havent made any changes to the machine in a while. A report is attached.

From your one_shot_turn.xml button file:

Code: Select all

<vcp_button>
	<skin_event_num>20</skin_event_num>
</vcp_button>

From your one_shot_lathe_drill.xml button file:

Code: Select all

<vcp_button>
	<skin_event_num>68</skin_event_num>
</vcp_button>

From your one_shot_lathe_facing.xml button file:

Code: Select all

<vcp_button>
	<skin_event_num>24</skin_event_num>
</vcp_button>

From your PLC program source:

Code: Select all

SkinAux12_M                   IS SV_SKIN_EVENT_20 ; Row  3 Column 6
;...
SkinAux13_M                   IS SV_SKIN_EVENT_24 ; Row  5 Column 4
;...
SkinAux15_M                   IS SV_SKIN_EVENT_68  ; Row  4 Column 5

From your Report txt file:

Code: Select all

P199 =    57.00000  - Aux 12 Key Function
...
P292 =    58.00000  - Aux 13 Key Function
...
P294 =     6.00000  - Aux 15 Key Function

So the Turning button identifies itself as Aux12, and you have Aux12 assigned to function 57, which -- according to the T-Series Operator's Manual -- is the One-Shot Turning function.

The Drilling button identifies itself as Aux15, to which you have assigned function 6, which does not seem to have any defined function. According to the manual, you would need to set P294 = 60 if you wanted Aux15 to call up a One-Shot Drill operation.

The Facing button identifies itself as Aux13, to which you have assigned function 58, which the manual says is One-Shot Facing.

So, the Turning (Aux12) and Facing (Aux13) buttons appear to be configured correctly; while the Drill (Aux15) button has the wrong parameter value (P294=6 instead of 60).

However, that would not explain having a Facing cycle show up when you press the Turning or Drilling button.

That suggests that the one-shot Intercon program files, presumably located in the c:\icn_lath directory, have gotten mixed up. If you inadvertently copied the .lth program file for the one-shot facing over the files for one-shot drilling and one-shot turning, then that is what you would see on the screen when you pressed the drilling and turning buttons.

Unfortunately, those program files are not contained in a Report. You would have to post a program file backup for us to see them.

Well if the one shot cycles are saved in the program files I think I may know what has happened. I was deleting a bunch of old programs and I may have deleted something I shouldn’t have. I’m not sure to to post a program file backup and it that is the case what would be the best path to correct it. Save all of my custom things and do a fresh install? Thanks for the reply by the way.

I did that a few days ago and haven’t used the machine till today so that would make sense. Unless something really strange has happened.

[rollinschris61]

I tried changing parameter 294 to 60 now the facing button try’s to do the drilling cycle

Unzip the files in the \icn_lath folder and overwrite the files that are now in this folder.

That appears to have done the trick. awesome, thank you sir.
