Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Centroid Family,

Ive got a strange issue: I can make my spindle turn on and off using the VCP and forward/reverse as well as register my 0-10 volt
RPM command. When I try and execute an M3 or M4 in the MDI I don't get anything happening. No green lights coming on my diagnostics screen when issuing MDI commands. Wondering if I've got a parameter set incorrectly.
Thanks for the help.

Heres a report: Machine: MAZAK HTC 400

Your mfunc3.mac and mfunc4.mac look to be empty or possibly corrupt. When I open either of them in notepad++, I get "null null null......" If opened in Windows notepad, they're empty, along with many other macros.

Perhaps some of the Oak/Allin1DC guys can enlighten us.

Scott,

Very interesting. Im gonna take a look tomorrow. Wonder if my PLC install didn't come in with all the macros complete. Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna take a look at CNCM files tomorrow and Ill let ya know.

Appreciate the reply immensely.

For M3 and M4, you can just delete the corrupted macros, and the control should run just fine with the internal default actions.

Guys, My M Codes were messed up. Got it sorted but it was so helpful to have a place to start. Thanks for the help. Didn't even think to check the M Code Files. Appreciate it always gentlemen.
