241 INVALID CODE (Hass)

[Thee Rickster ™]

Got this error:

 

rs 232 load bad

Data was stored as comment

check the program being received

 

1st time I have seen this one

 

I search from the start of (Tool 5) for (, and the only 'comments' It would find were

 

(1/8 BALL 1 DEG SHORT)

N6705 T5 M06 ( 1/8 BALL ENDMILL)

N6706 M08

N6707 (MAX - Z1.)

N6708 (MIN - Z-2.)

N6709 (TOOLPATH - HMM)

N6710 (STOCK LEFT ON DRIVE SURFS = 0.)

 

at the beginning of the 1/8 ball paths and..

 

N4698 G00 Z1.

N4699 (1/8" BALL 1 DEG (SHORT))

N4700 (TOOLPATH - HMM)

N4701 (STOCK LEFT ON DRIVE SURFS = 0.)

N4702 X7.241 Y-2.2032

 

where the other 1/8 ball paths are.

 

I went thought the whole program and it does not

look any different then the last 5000 programs

I have sent to this machine.

 

Any Ideas why this would happen?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Cheers

Rick

double parentheses is the only thing that might cause a problem, shutdown and restart machine didn't help ??

Double parentheses is your issue. Did the same thing to me last week. Manual Entry was where it was.

Crap...Thanks

The double parentheses or it may be the period in the comment. Our Haas will not accept a program that has a period in the comments.

[Thee Rickster ™]

Toy.

 

Its not the period that is the default comment

that mc post put out.

 

Its the double parenthesis'ss'''sssss's I did that once before and forgot.

 

In my last post I also forgot...

 

[calnet42]

I run all my programs through InPlot.

 

It has a syntax checks for:

 

Mismatched comment

Mismatched brackets

Feed w/o spindle

feed w/o coolant

double addresses

Bad value

G0 with feed

letter "O"

No value

Bad arc

G and M code range (you input the codes needed)

No G40

Decimal point

 

Really saves me lots of time checking programs!

 

 

P.S.

I don't work for or have any affiliation with the software mfr.

Rickster, how did you get your post to output the MAX - Z1. and MIN - Z-2? I have been trying to do that for some time.

[gcode]

mpmaster does that right out of the box
