variable for operation number in ops manager

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

Does anyone know the variable for the operation number in the ops manager. I want to make my N lines at tool change be the same as the operation number.

 

thanks in advance.

Jeremy,

Yes there is a way for you to set that up. If you are using the MpMaster post, there is a variable called "tseqno" set the variable to 1. Then in the control definition file, go to the NC output in the control topics list, and uncheck the box for output sequence numbers.

 

tseqno : 1 #Output sequence number at toolchanges when omitseq = yes

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

 

Don't forget that if you open the control def from the settings drop down instead of opening the machine def first, you will need to replace the existing machine def in the machine group properties. Just do a file replace as if you're changing posts and replace it with itself. That will reset the control def to the new settings.

Hey Jeremy,

prmcode 15240

 

Got it up and running in one of my posts, let me know if you need more info...

if you could share Keith it would save me some time. thanks again.

Here is the format statement...

fmt  "N"   		4	opnumber # N#= opnumber

 

Here is the pparam line...

  	if prmcode$ = 15240, opnumber = rpar(sparameter$,1)

 

And this is the line in the ltlchg postblock

      	pbld, *opnumber, *sgcode, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, *gltlno, "M00", e$

 

I just replaced the "n{:content:}quot; with "*opnumber"

 

Let me know how it works...

Where did you put your pparam line? I am using a custom inhouse post and they have so much logic built around this it messing something up.

[CJep]

Jeremy,

If you're using an InHouse post it is based on the MpMaster post, page up a couple of postings and you'll see how to set up the seq #ing you're looking for.

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

This the section controlloing my N numbers:

 

pn #Output sequence number

 

if tseqno = two, n$ = t$

if seqno_flg = 0 & (toolchng | (toolchng0 & op_id$ <> last_op_id)),

[

*n$

seqno_flg = 1

]

 

the tseqno is the same as mpmaster.

I have it set as you described above and it works fine. The problem I have is that most of my files are so big and have so many toolpaths that if I post say toolpaths 1-50 because that is all I can fit in the control at once and then I post 50-100, then 100-150 and so on, each program is n1-n50, I want my N numbers to macth the op number in the operation manager so if I post toolpath 50-100 I would get N50-N100. That way if my operator comes and tells he has a problem with a toolpath in program 3, toolpaths 100-150 I know which one it is without counting. Sorry, If I was not clear earlier.

Jeremy,

Right in the pparameter postblock.

pparameter$  	#Information from parameters
 	#"pwrttparam", ~prmcode$, ~sparameter$, e$
 	if prmcode$ = 15145, metvals   = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	if prmcode$ = 15346, comp_type = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	if prmcode$ = 20103, stinsert2 = sparameter$
 	if prmcode$ = 20110, stholder2 = sparameter$
 	if prmcode$ = 10124, g71type = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	#if prmcode$ = 10080, srefz = sparameter$
 	if prmcode$ = 10080, srefz = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	if prmcode$ = 10081, srefx = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	if prmcode$ = 13356, sgroovy = rpar(sparameter$,1)
 	if prmcode$ = 20102, aonecomp = rparsngl(sparameter$, 8)
 	result = fprm (abs(lathecc))
 	if prmcode$ = 15240, opnumber = rpar(sparameter$,1)

The last one there.

This is what your looking for right?

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

Exactly. Thanks guys. I will insert and let you know.

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

I knew there was a reason I could not find it. The pparameter lines are in my .psb file. I inserted this in my post file:

 

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Parameter read postblocks:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

pwrttparam$ #Information from parameters

 

if prmcode$ = 15240, n$ = rpar(sparameter$,1)

 

and it works but I get this error when I post:

 

14 Jul 2011 06:08:46 PM - <2> - PSB LINE (-1,4903) - Duplicate assignment of label

 

Anything to worry about?

[K2csq7]

I would ask inhouse, maybe they will be nice & pull the pparam postblock out of the PSB and put it in the PST for ya... (Don't even know if thats possible, but it sounds good right!!)

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

I think they might do that. Oh Jimmy, I got a favor to ask. Thanks again for the help Keith.
