Mpmaster in X2 SP1

[Post dept]

Just wanted to put some minds at ease:

"MPParam Output Corrected (All Products)

 

MPParam has been modified to output correct spindle speeds, lathe turret parameters, and tool changer parameters. MPMaster-derived post processors may need to be updated."

 

After some quick tests it looks like mpmaster posts that ran originally in X2 will NOT need to be updated to run in X2 SP1.

I have two MP based mill posts that worked yesterday on X2. On X2 SP1 now S0.

 

[post_VERSION] #DO NOT MOVE OR ALTER THIS LINE# V11.00 E1 P0 T1161869177 M11.00 I0

 

 

Thanks

John,

 

The new X2 version of mpmaster definitely outputs the speeds correctly. There may have been a time where the post was between revision and the max_speed and min_speed parameters were still being read in via lookup tables. Quickest thing would be a file compare to eliminate the max_speed and min_speed variables completely. There would also be one if statement that would need changing in pspindle.

 

Delete this line:

if maxss$ = zero | maxss$ > max_speed, maxss$ = max_speed

 

and change this line:

if speed < min_speed, speed = min_speed

to this:

if speed > maxss$, speed = maxss$

max_speed in the PST was the problem.

 

max_speed : 10000 #Maximum spindle speed

 

Was 0.

 

Thanks for the help.
