Hass Post Mod ?

[delete]

Hi Guy's

I am using the "Generic Hass 4 axis post" and

Would like to modify it so that it doesn't output Verbage

That Sets off an alarm in the controller everytime I load a program.

 

Thank You very much!

The comment section at the top is called in pheader section.

The A0. at the end is either in the pretract or peof sections. More than likely in pretract for unwind.

What version of Mastercam??

If X or newer, it is done in the Machine Definition, Axis Combinations. Take out the A-axis to leave it a 3 axis machine.

open the PST file in the editor, and find the following lines. They are in the pheader section.

 

sopen_prn, sspace, "MCX FILE - ", *smcpath$, *smcname$, *smcext$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

sopen_prn, sspace, "NC FILE - ", *spathnc$, *snamenc$, *sextnc$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

sopen_prn, sspace, "MATERIAL - ", *stck_matl$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

 

Erase the lines, or modify so that they start with "#" (as shown below)

 

# sopen_prn, sspace, "MCX FILE - ", *smcpath$, *smcname$, *smcext$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

# sopen_prn, sspace, "NC FILE - ", *spathnc$, *snamenc$, *sextnc$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

# sopen_prn, sspace, "MATERIAL - ", *stck_matl$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

 

That will get rid of the comments.

 

to get rid of ALL of the rotary axis moves, modify the Machine Definition to remove or disable the rotary / 4th axis.

 

To remove only the A0 at end of file, find and modify the following.

 

if nextop$ = 1003 | tlchg_home, pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", protretinc, e$

change to:

if nextop$ = 1003 | tlchg_home, pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", e$

Thank's guy's, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I was able to hack out the stuff that pointed to these things and get the results I wanted

But then I got an Error everytime I posted..."Line 799" blah,blah...

Just ran across this thread and wanted to say thanks!!!! No more long Uneeded comments at the start of the program :-)

Our Haas alarmed out also from all the text in the header. I narrowed it down to the path and filename of the mcx file. There can be too many characters on that line which the machine doesn't like. The solution to keep the text at the header and still get it into the machine without an alarm is to eliminate the "*smcpath$," from this line:

 

sopen_prn, sspace, "MCX FILE - ", *smcpath$, *smcname$, *smcext$, sspace, sclose_prn, e$

 

This may also be a problem for you in the line that displays the path and name of the NC file. Yours doesn't look too long. Mine always posts to a USB stick so it's never too long.
