anilam crusader M Trouble

[Scott PatrickVT AOE Machine Shop]

I posted this on another page in the forum with no response. I thought I would try here too.

 

 

We have a post file from our reseller that works now after almost a year of effort. Problem is the anilam will only take about 100 lines of code.

Usually the anilam has a memory of about 3000 lines of code but for some reason we get an excess digit error when we try to submit lines of code in excess of 95-100 lines.

sounds like you need to flush out the controller

this is a very old controller and every once in a while we do this when we are having issues

turn off in back wait 20 seconds then hit

 

MANUAL |AUX|1612 START

 

this will flush out the junk you will have to reset your feed rate after this

 

vo1 200. (this is the max for xand y)

Vo2 150. (z)

aux1440

End

 

then run that

this will set you max feed rates again

here are some notes I found in regard to old Crusader M control. But it has been a LONG time since I worked with one.

 

# Users Note:

#

# USE AUX code 2701 for download of programs < 800 lines

# USE AUX code 2711 for DNC > 800 lines

#

# After 800 lines, tool is retracted from part and two % signs are

# entered into the program for DNC. ( see p_drift ).

# This control can not download and cut at the same time, and that is why

# the tool is retracted from part, to allow the control to read the next

# 800 lines.

 

 

p_drift # Retract tool from cut while reading code (DNC)

old_z = prv_z$

n$ = 1

n$, "G00", *zr$, e$

"%", e$

"%", e$

n$, "G1", *old_x, *old_y, e$

n$, "G1", *old_z, e$

 

plin$ # Linear line movement - at feedrate

if n$ > 800, p_drift

n$, sccomp, sgcode, x$, y$, z$, pfr, pcan,e$

Machine MasterG thanks so much! We have spent months off and on it's been giving us problems. We did this flush out process and now it takes our code but we did find that if we shut the machine down we lose all the settings.

we think it's a battery issue on the boards but no sure. any thoughts on that fix?

Thanks,

Scott
