end of file b axis commands

[RustyG]

I am trying to change the end of file code on my programs for one machine. All the other B axis commands are exactly how I want them except at the very end of the program before the M2 line it is posting lock and unlock codes. This is unnecessary, I would either like them removed all together or if they are going to be at the end of the program I would prefer it read

G91G28Z0.0

M79(UNLOCK)

G28B0.0

M78(LOCK)

M2

%

Below is a screen shot of the current postout. Help is appreciated

What is your base post?

[RustyG]

here ya go

swt_lock_codes        : 1      #Output Rotary Lock/Unlock M-codes
                               #0 = Off
                               #1 = Use lock codes for all operation types

This is the Rotary Output settings at the top of the post.

Try setting this to 0 to turn your lock codes off. This might not work as there has been some modification to the post.

We can try looking at pretract if this doesn't work to your liking. There is a conditional statement there for swt_lock_codes=1, so changing the setting to 0 should work.

I need the lock codes as this is a horizontal machine. All the other lock codes output as they should and they don't post out at the end of every tool. Just at the end of the program, I am semi familiar with post editing just this particular issue has me stumped.

[Leon82]

check the peof or pretract post blocks they may be hard coded in

peof$            #End of file for non-zero tool @end
      pretract
      if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$
      rotretflg = 1
    #  pbld, n$, *sg28, "X0.", "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      #pbld, n$, *sg28, "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      rotretflg = 0
      if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$
      comment$
      if not(index), n$, sgabsinc, e$
      uninhibit_eof_probe$
      n$, "M2", e$
      mergesub$
      clearsub$
      mergeaux$
      clearaux$
      "%", e$

So we can move to peof. Assuming you always want to zero the B axis a simple string literal would do the trick

peof$            #End of file for non-zero tool @end
      pretract
      if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$
      rotretflg = 1
    #  pbld, n$, *sg28, "X0.", "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      #pbld, n$, *sg28, "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      pbld, n$, "G28 B0.", e$
      rotretflg = 0
      if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$
      comment$
      if not(index), n$, sgabsinc, e$
      uninhibit_eof_probe$
      n$, "M2", e$
      mergesub$
      clearsub$
      mergeaux$
      clearaux$
      "%", e$

I only want to zero the b axis at the end of the program yes, 

[JParis]

peof$            #End of file for non-zero tool @end
      pretract
     # if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *sunlock, sunlockcomm, e$<----ADD A # BEFORE THIS LINE
      rotretflg = 1
    #  pbld, n$, *sg28, "X0.", "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      #pbld, n$, *sg28, "Y0.", protretinc, e$
      rotretflg = 0
    #  if swt_lock_codes = one & rot_on_x, pbld, n$, *slock, slockcomm, e$<ADD # SIGN BEFORE THIS LINE
      comment$
      if not(index), n$, sgabsinc, e$
      uninhibit_eof_probe$
      n$, "M2", e$
      mergesub$
      clearsub$
      mergeaux$
      clearaux$
      "%", e$

That should comment the codes in that section

JPARIS, tried that, no change

Are you sure you edited the right copy of the post?

That should give you what you're asking for...

Try adding the string literal I added in the second copy

pbld, n$, "G28 B0.", e$

He's decided he wants to keep the lock codes......

just tried it, no go, still has the lock unlock before the M2 and then %, 

weird

I can't work out if you want the lock codes or not.

In your original post you asked to get rid of them completely, now you want them or not?

[RustyG]

the machine needs the lock codes to rotate, it does not lock, unlock automatically, also I want the machine to return to machine B0 at the end of the program for a few reasons. One of which we need it to be at B0 for pallet rotation, secondly if we are running parts out of the vises it may be faster for the operator to load parts from the operator door rather then shuttle the pallet out and load parts that way

worst case I was going to remove the redundant code at the end of the program, best case I would have it return to machine B0 as I stated in my above comment, sorry for the confusion

So, what is the output when you add the string literal?

That should work, check your syntax....indent, commas and spaces

copied from your post, I am sure your language is correct, trying to find mods that were done before me that may be causing it not to work

This where a Z2g is the best. People can use your file to help you. Right now this a crap shoot of who can help get it going.

Turn on the white space in the editor and make sure you have the correct number of spaces NOT tabs.
