Main progams

[Rick46]

Any one got any examples of good mains to run in memory mode to call out subs from data server on a fanuc 18i-MB control for a toyoda fv1680 machine. I got one from and older fanuc 18i but it you had to take the safe start out of sub program to get it to run. now with the same main it throws up error when it calls out the g5.1q1 for next tool in the subprogram unless I leave in the safe start that MC generates at the begining of each tool path it posts out.. this dosent make sense to me so im wondering ifg I need a new main program. heres an example of what im running for a main.

For the main;

%
O0001(MAIN)
M1
M198P11
M30

[/Code]

 

and for the sub;

[Code]
%
O0011(SUB)
M1
N1T1M6
G5.1Q1
(BLAH BLAH BLAH)
G5.1Q0
G53Z0
G91G49
M1
M99
%
[/Code]

The above example has always worked for me. A coupel notes though; the sub should be file name O0011, and there though be NO file extension.
