Misc Integers

[MachineSMMC]

I am having some trouble getting my misc integers to work. Basically I want it to execute some certain code when I have a '1' in the Misc Integer 3. Unfortunately it always puts the line into the G code. I am no sure what I need to do to get it to work. I have attached the code from my post and the output I get when I run it.

 

Here is my coed in the post

code:

---

ptlbrk          #Toll Breakage Detection

if mi3 = 1, pbld, n, "G65", "P9863", "H.010", "Z3.0", "(TOOL BREAKAGE DETECTION)", e$

if mi3 <> 1, "OOPS! - mi3 is NOT equal to 1", e$

prv_mi3 = mi3

!mi3

---

Here is what it outputs

G65P9863H.010Z3.0(TOOL BREAKAGE DETECTION)

OOPS! - mi3 is NOT equal to 1

 

Thanks for any help

If it is X you will need a $ after the mi or mr to get them to work correctly.

the variable should be

 

mi3$

 

secondly depending on where in the psot you use this call, you might be better off in the toolchange section doing something like this

 

sav_mi3 = mi3$

 

and then using the sav_mi3 variable to trigger your code.

 

If you get to far down in the post cycle it seems to lose the value of mi3$, setting to a diiferent varaiable lets you check it at any point in that particular OP with losing the value

Do I need to change all of the mi3 to mi3$ or just certain ones?

 

Thanks

There are other misc intergers in the post that do not work also.

 

mi2

mi9

mi10

 

Is there something we need to turn on to get these to work?

By the way, we started with MPMaster

Is it the latest and greatest MPMASTER or an old version?

[MachineSMMC]

It is not the latest and greatest, but it was for X
