Calculator on the VCP

[suntravel]

Played with macros....

Made an M55 macro to calculate Vfc for circular pockets or internal thread milling, for the case I can´t find my calculator

Replaced code with a correct calculating version and logic for senseless user input

Code: Select all

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Filename: mfunc55.mac - To run from VCP AUX 10 key, set p197 = 5511
; M55 macro
; Description: Calculate Vfc for internal thread milling or circ. pockets
; Requires: Machine home must be set prior to use.
; Please see TB300 for tips on writing custom macros.
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF #50010                        ;Prevent lookahead from parsing past here
IF #4201 || #4202 THEN GOTO 1000 ;Skip macro if graphing or searching
#105=0
N100
M224 #101 "Calculate Vfc for\nint. thread milling\nor circ. pockets\n\nMill Diameter"
M224 #102 "Bore Diameter" 
IF #101 >= #102 and #105 == 0 THEN GOTO 900 ELSE GOTO 110
N110
IF #101 >= #102 and #105 >= 1 THEN GOTO 990 ELSE GOTO 200
N200
M224 #104 "Feedrate Vf"
#103=#104/((#102*3.14)/((#102-#101)*3.14))
M225 #100 "Use for:\nMill Diameter: %f mm\nBore Diameter: %f mm\nFeedrate Vf: %f mm/min\n\nCalculated Feedrate\nVfc= %f mm/min" #101#102#104#103
GOTO 1000
N900
M225 #100 "Mill Diameter = %f\n can not be equal or larger then\nBore Diameter = %f\n\n Back to Start" #101#102
#105=1
GOTO 100
N990
M225 #100 "Really?\nThis will also not fit\n\nMill Diameter = %f\n can not be equal or larger then\nBore Diameter = %f\n\n Back to Start you Stupid" #101#102
GOTO 100
N1000                            ;End of Macro

Humm... in your VCP I see buttons I do not have. The 45's between the X & Y jog buttons and the Axis 0 and All zero. How does the axis 0 work.

Can you share the code for them? Does the code have to be compiled into the PLC program? Do the macros also work on the real CP (aux1, aux2, etc)?

The new buttons are in Acorn 4.79 Beta3.
Available as public download, give it a try, lots of good improvements in there

Next two calculators and custom VCP

Quite a good training to make such things....

Hello, sorry for a dump question, how do I change to macro to be in inches?

[ShaAli]

mm\nBore Diameter:

change them to in ?

in\nBore Diameter:

You can edit the macros to your liking.
