MpLmaster6 posting "A" on Caxis Sub spindle...


Recommended Posts

Look in the post for something like this:

 

 

#Rotary Axis Label options
use_md_rot_label : yes$ #Use rotary axis label from machine def? - Leave set to 'no' until available
srot_x : "A" #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about X axis (mill top toolplane) - used when use_md_rot_label = no
srot_y : "B" #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about Y axis (mill top toolplane) - used when use_md_rot_label = no
srot_z : "B" #Label applied to rotary axis movement - rotating about Z axis (mill top toolplane) - used when use_md_rot_label = no

 

^^^ is from a milling mpmaster, but mplmaster should be similar.

Yep, that's there and it is labeled "C" correctly. All I can figure is that it's getting bad info from the MD, even though everything is defined as "C".....It's probably not reading the MD parameters correctly.

I have looked all through the post (MPLMASTER) and there's nothing obvious that would assign "A" to rotary axis....maybe I'm overlooking something but I have searched over again and again.

Hello,

 

If you are using mplmaster, you will have to change the string address for "cout_a" and "cabs" in "pfcout" and "pcout" as shown below.

 

Original:

 

pfcout #Force C axis output

if spindle_no$ = 0, #main

[

result = nwadrs(strc,cout_a)

result = nwadrs(strh,cout_i)

if millcc & g112address = 0, result = nwadrs(stry, cabs)

if millcc & g112address = 1, result = nwadrs(strc, cabs)

]

else, #sub

[

result = nwadrs(stra,cout_a) <-------------------------------------------HERE

if millcc & g112address = 0, result = nwadrs(stry, cabs)

if millcc & g112address = 1, result = nwadrs(stra, cabs) <-------------------------------------------HERE

]

 

 

Modified:

pfcout #Force C axis output

if spindle_no$ = 0, #main

[

result = nwadrs(strc,cout_a)

result = nwadrs(strh,cout_i)

if millcc & g112address = 0, result = nwadrs(stry, cabs)

if millcc & g112address = 1, result = nwadrs(strc, cabs)

]

else, #sub

[

result = nwadrs(strc,cout_a) <-------------------------------------------HERE

if millcc & g112address = 0, result = nwadrs(stry, cabs)

if millcc & g112address = 1, result = nwadrs(strc, cabs) <-------------------------------------------HERE

]

Have a look in this area which is used to switch strings based on the cuttype and axis combination

 

 

#Machining position turret/spindle settings

# Switch strings based on turret position top/bottom-left/right and cut type.

# Turret position is based on the Mastercam settings (see lathtype).

# Strings are re-assigned for output in the routine psw_str_mult.

# The string variable sw_string holds the place position value to determine

# how to assign the strings. Planes are relative to the view from Mastercam.

# Assign the 17 digit string following the alpha columns below:

# A - C axis, 1 = axis winds, 2 = axis signed, 3 = indexer

# B - Spindle direction, 0 = normal, 1 = reverse

# C - Plane 0 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# D - Plane 1 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# E - Plane 2 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch

# F - Plane 0, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# G - Plane 1, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# H - Plane 2, 0 = G17, 1 = G19, 2 = G18

# Decimal (required)

# I - Plane 0, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# J - Plane 0, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# K - Plane 0, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# L - Plane 1, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# M - Plane 1, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# N - Plane 1, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# O - Plane 2, X axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# P - Plane 2, Y axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

# Q - Plane 2, Z axis, 0 = normal, 1 = switch sign from basic

use_only_tl : 0 #Use only Top turret/Left spindle settings (below) for
