Post Help

[JAMES GABEL]

I have a new machine and need to adjust my post. I have been trying it myself but this problem is beyond me. I have a two pallet machine and I need an M code in my code to make sure the right program runs on the right table. I would like to be able to input a number in the misc. value's to tell the post what M code to put in. My post is setup to post a main program and subprograms all in one file.

 

 

I have one more problem here.

 

In my post I can enter a number of how many offsets I want to run. My post will only post max of six, I want it to be able to post as many as I want.

 

I would appreciate any help.

Did you by chance get this post from a dealer or is it a standard post you are using??

[JAMES GABEL]

I don't know where the post came from. It was here when I came to the company.

James, is it the one I Altered and put together from another post? Email me the post and I'll fix it for you. No charge lol.

Hi James,

 

If you want to use the condition of a misc. integer, the pre-defined variables are mi1$ - mi10$.

 

So you could insert something like this:

 

code:

---

   if mi6$ = 1, [pbld, n$, "M81", "(P1 CHECK)", e$]

if mi6$ = 2, [pbld, n$, "M82", "(P2 CHECK)", e$]

---

This would check the value of Misc. Integer number 6 and if it was set to 1 it would output a new line of NC code with the pallet M code and comment.

 

You would probably want that in the psof$ and the ptlchng$ post blocks.
