Work Offset Table

[cnc-guy]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to produce a HTML setup sheet that will output a page containing all UNIQUE work coordinate system values.

 

When using a buffer, the repeated work offset doesn't come out with a negative (-) value to be omitted like in the case of the tool numbers.

 

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks

Store the current work offset number in a variable and before you read the new one feed the current value into another variable you use as its previous. Then you can simply compare the two and if they are not different then output the line.

Also if you are doing this in a post then mp should automatically create a prv_ variable for your variable holding the work offset. You can simply compare them too.

Thanks for the reply Alex ...

 

Lets say the operations have workoffsets in this order:

G54 - G56 - G58 - G55 - G54 - G56 - G58 etc ...

 

I would want my setup sheet to list as follows:

 

G54 X Y Z

G55 X Y Z

G56 X Y Z

G58 X Y Z

 

As you can see, G57 wasn't used on this part, no need to list it.

Also, for some parts, we use multiple G54 P1 to G54 P20

 

The setup person will fill in the correct X Y Z data after install on the machine.
