Unable to skip ahead in program fanuc 31i

[Travis Baucom]

Working on a horizontal mill with a fanuc 31i-b control. With the control in auto running a program in single block I am not able to switch to edit mode look ahead and resume program from new block number without reseting the control. This is not typical for the other machines in the shop. Other controls are 15 series. I suspect this is either a paramater option or it may be a ladder issue. Anyone had this issue as well?

You have to keep it in single block from reset. If you start then go to single block it has already looked ahead. You have to stop on the g43 line.

I do it all the time while twp is active on the gtech 31 on the matsuuras. It works with TCP but can be dangerous depending where it's going.

 

Unless there is some random parameters that would prevent this.

I believe the parameter is #13102.7 = 0 for EDIT allowed, 1 = EDIT no allowed.

Bits are as follows;

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Use at your own risk.

I'll look into it, thanks for the reply
