Fadal Subprograms Help

[dieselpower1]

The machine is a Fadal 5020 with a CNC-88HS control with 4 Mb memory and an A,B rotary axis. Control is in Format 2. We installed a Calmotion USBCNC-FAD (USB Disk Key reader) on the machine to load programs to the memory. This reader has DNC capabilities. I have a old turbine program to run on the machine. The last two subprograms are to large to fit in the control memory. I have tried to DNC the prog. by using a subroutine instead of a subprogram. Didn't work. I got message ( TO MANY CONSECUTIVE NON-MOTION BLOCKS ). When I try it as a subprogram call, I get a (SUBROUTINE DOES NOT EXIST) message. If anyone has any expierience with this situation, any imput would be helpful

 

Thanks

 

Here is a sample program were I tried to use Subroutine instead of Subprograms. I cut most of the movements out of the sub to reduce the size.

I do not think subs are available with DNC.

You will need to copy/paste, abd build one long single program.
