How do you set max rpm limit in post

[connormac]

How do I set the max rpm limit in the post so when I multi-post program if the rpm in program is higher than highest machine RPM it will default to highest machine RPM. ie 7000 rpm highest rpm on 1 machine and will alarm out if anything higher than 7000 is in post.

 

Thanks for looking

If you use the machine def's, you can set this there.

I need it to be in the post itself. I have to post for 8 different machines. So I program for 1 machine then run thru VB script that posts for each machine and puts the program in that machine folder.

But thanks!!

maxss$ is the MC variable. Here's how I set my max speed per machine;

 

code:

---

pmachine

if smachinepath = "E:MCX4CNC_MACHINESENSHU JE60S.MMD",

[

smachinename = "ENSHU JE60S"

machine = 60

work_vari = 7000

max_speed = 13000

min_speed = 40

maxfeedpm = 590.55

]

if smachinepath = "E:MCX4CNC_MACHINESENSHU JE80S.MMD",

[

smachinename = "ENSHU JE80S"

machine = 80

work_vari = 14000

max_speed = 15000

min_speed = 50

maxfeedpm = 3546

]

---

code:

---

max_speed   : 0 #Maximum spindle speed

---

code:

---

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

---

Tim you just went way over my head. I will have to look at it in the morning.

[Tim Johnson]

I just gave a snippit on how I set my max speed per machine. I don't know how you set up your machines but using a max_speed or similar variable to setup the MC's maxss$ is probably the easier way to go.

What i was trying was an if, else statement

 

have this

n$,*ss$,*spdlon,e$

 

Changed it to this

 

if *ss$ > 7000,n$,"S7000",*spdlon,e$

else, n$,*ss$,*spdlon,e$

 

That worked.

 

But this

 

if prv_ss$ <> ss$, n$,"M03", ss$,e$

 

in null tool change

 

I tried this and it almost worked

 

if prv_ss$ < 7000, n$,"M03", ss$,e$

else, n$,"M03", "S7000",e$

 

I ended up with

 

M3 S8000

M3 S7000

 

So close...

if prv_ss$ <> ss$, n$,[if ss$ < 7000, ss$, else, "S7000"],*spdlon,e$

[connormac]

Tim now it sets everything to 7000 rpm. AAAAHHH

[Tim Johnson]

Sorry, I thought I have used a condition in this way but searching thru my post I found I haven't.

 

Try this;

code:

---

      if prv_ss$ <> ss$,

[

if ss$ < 7000, ss$, *spdlon, e$

else, "S7000", *spdlon, e$

]

Thanks Tim that look like that fixed it I will try it tomorrow and see if it works in the multi-post

 

Thanks so much
