Mazak_eia_help

[Rakesh]

Hi eveybody,

I have Mazak, with Mazatrol 640 PC Fusion control.

Our Set-up guy is on vacation for couple of days and so I was loading the eia program in the control. Everytime I tried I got the alarm as"503 Load Impossible (TOO MANY)(3011,1,11)"

I wasted 2 hrs trying to load and I know there is something I am not doing right. I am trying to write in detail if that can help you.

I save the program as 3011.eia on floppy.

In the program first line I try different way to make it work as space and without space and than O3011(Prog des)

---

 

 

M30

%

On the machine I do like Data in/out-Dir/select-

than select the dir from flopply,FD contents-start

Loadnc-fd.

Now when It start loading it give the alarm.

If any body have any idea what I am missing.

thanks

Couple things. Is there a program with the same number in the control? Is there enough space in the memory of the control to take the program? Look of the program file page and see how much space is free. The eia on floopy does not need a % at the beginning of the program. You are doing the directory so that is right. I would also make sure the program number is on a line by itself as well.

[tryon]

the name of the file will be the program number. Delete the %'s and O3011 from the program

[Rakesh]

If the program number is same it give the alarm as same number or duplicate number and also it have enough space.

Prognumber is with description as

O3011(PART--)

Any idea guys

thanks

No program number just go from there. Whne I send them out on floopy that will put the program number in then.

Hi Tryon

you mean o3011 should not be at the start of the program. But I saw the program stored in the control and all have the progrma like O---- in the begining and yes there should not be % sign in the start.

thanks

Sounds like it was an aborted load. check and see if 3011 is already in the control's memory. If so, delete it and try again.

[crazy^millman]

The loading on the program from the disk is what gives it the program number. The 3011.eia is the program number. So when you load it from the disk that is what put the program number in the program. If you have it in the program and try to load it you will get the alarm you are seeing it what I am thinking.

[IntegrexMan]

At the beginning of my program I always have the Program Number: O3011 (Prg Desc.) I have never had a problem doing it this way. I guess it is a matter of preference. When you do FD Contents, does it find program 3011.eia and put it in the load section? Try renaming the file on the floppy to 4011.eia and try that.

From the Mazak alarm list....

 

503 CANNOT LOAD (TOO MANY PROGRAMS)

An attempt has been made to load more machining programs than the maximum number of programs that can be registered within the NC system.

 

Delete unnecessary programs

[crazy^millman]

Yes IntregrexMan just a matter of preference in the past I have done it with program numbers. I think oceanlacky is right on with the problem. Not a memory space problem but a amount of program you can have in the control problem. Look to OceanLacky advice and all should be good.

 

If you are sure make a directory on the HD and save all the programs to there and then erase what you need so you are sure not to lose a program you need.

Hi Rakesh,

First of all you need to put your .eia files under a director. You cannot use them if they are directly on the floppy. And you are not allowed to put more than 32 .eia files in 1 director. If you have more than 32 files make how many directors you need. I could help you more if I am in front of Mazak machine but, unfortunately, I am not working any more with Mazak.

I hope you will find the right answer.

Hi every body,

I really apprciate all the guys who share their thoughts in this thread.Yesterday morning I was able to load the program.

As the usual mc program, If there is o3101 as a eg., in the start of the program,it does not matter,it accept the program with or without the program no in the begining but it should not have the % sign in the beginining of the program.

My problem was,I was doing everything right,there was not duplicate prog no and have the enough space but it exceed the limit of programs files. I deleted couple of files and it start working fine.

Thanks for everybody and I remember two guys also mention this would be the problem

thanks
