How do you handle numbering if you call a tool a second time?

 

If you want to do N200 T2 and then N201 T2

 

you're going to have to use a buffer to do it.

 

other wise it's pretty straight forward.

 

in the tool change section above the

 

code:

---

pbld, n$, t$, "M06", e$

---

you could add

 

code:

---

n$ = t$ * 100

pbld, n$, t$, "M06", e$

Use his example, just take out the $ sign. Hum 10 year old release of software. Hopefully your company will step up and get current they are doing some pretty neat pricing for the release of X5.

[Plastmo]

could anybody shaw me how to create the buffer for tool numbering like N200T2 if tool is #2 and

N201T2 if tool #2 is called second time or N203T2

if called third time, please?

Or if you're using the MpMaster post, do a search for: tseqno

 

tseqno : 0 #Output sequence number at toolchanges when omitseq = yes

#0=off, 1=seq numbers match toolchange number, 2=seq numbers match tool number

 

 

No need to create a buffer if you only want the seq number to match the tool number.

[Plastmo]

i need tool numbering with repetition counter added to N number if tool is called again as JParis sugestion above

[Plastmo]

any post guru, please

There is a pdf in the zip folder that describes how to initialize and call the buffer files. Get your self a post like MpMaster and see how the mechanics of the buffer tables are setup.

This is for having only one sequential N# at the beginning of each tool for lathe (for mill I use N# = T#). I have been working on this for awhile and finally came up with a solution that works for me. Maybe I was doing something wrong but I found the mplmaster tseqno set to 1 caused problems w/ output after canned cycles. Anyway I think this is pretty clean:

 

First I created the output format:

 

fmt N 4 nnote #Sequence number beginning of tool only

 

and the user variable:

 

sav_op_id : 0 #Sequential counter for block #'s

 

then the postblock:

 

pnnote

if op_id$ = one, sav_op_id = one

nnote = sav_op_id

nnote

else,

nnote = sav_op_id

nnote

 

then right before 'ptoolcomment' in ltlchg$ and mtlchg$ add the following:

 

pnnote

sav_op_id = sav_op_id + one
