Cimco Macro Setup


Recommended Posts

I am new to using Cimco and have run into an issue trying to set up a Macro.  I created some logic in my NC code to check if the vacuum valve is on or off using some IF/THEN/ELSE  logic.  We have DMS machines with Fagor 8065 controls.  These machines use $ to define the logic operator (example $IF).  In Cimco it seems the $ character is used to define a user input and will not allow me to create this macro for insertion into my parts programs.  I get a Missing question symbol (?) after condition error.  Is there a setting to change this character or a work around to get Cimco to accept the macro as is?

(CHECK IF VACUUM IS ON)
$IF P10==2
$GOTO N1
$ENDIF
$IF [V.PLC.O_VAC1==0]
#ERROR ["!VACUUM 1 OFF!"]
$ENDIF
$GOTO N2
N1
$IF [V.PLC.O_VAC2==0]
#ERROR ["!VACUUM 2 OFF!"]
$ENDIF
