Adjusting the parameters programmed


Recommended Posts

This is still the Motionmaster SB-55XT bane of my existance issues. THe controller is the [naughty word]OR 8055. In the manual it shows that G82 drill cycle doesn’t appear to have the correct parameters programmed. It's posting a "P" for dwell time, and that should be a "K". The drilling depth should be an "I" but it's posting a "R". 

How, where, and what do I change to correct this?

I'm assuming it's the *****.PST file that needs to be adjusted.


​Being new to all of this I want to thank you upfront, and may need you to hold my hand through this process.

Looking at the post you have a call out for dwell$. Here it says if dwell then output dwell. Find dwell in the start of the .pst file. It will look something like this.

fmt  P  11  dwell$      #Dwell

This is the format of dwell. Change the P to a K.

 

As for the drill depth, this one is a little different. It will require logic to tell the post to only output a K if the drill cycle is equal to G82. I may have to wait for Colin or someone on this one. I have some free time, so I will see if I can put something together.
