Fanuc 0iMD - Can't write to parameters

[Newbeeee™]

Hi all,

We have a problem with our new vmc machine with a 0iMD control.

 

We have 2x 4th axis rotaries which have different motors, and therefore different parameters.

On our 0iMC machines, we have 2x separate programs. One is for each rotary with each different parameter set related to it's rotary. One prog is activated by M123, the other by M124.

So we enter M123 in MDI, which automatically opens the control (pwe), writes/changes the relevant paramaters, alarms saying 'turn off power' and when we re-boot, the parameters are changed to suit the rotary.

The M123 prog is below:-

We have loaded this program into the D machine and changed the L50 for L52 as per the OiMD fanuc book, but it doesn't work.

Has anyone tried anything similar on the D control, or got any ideas?

I used to know a guy around here that was pretty good with Fanucs. He's gone now.

My thoughts exactly.

I may PM him at work to see how he is anyway, and say that some of us are missing him!

The Oi-D" Series control mimics the 30 series controls.

 

G10L52

N_P_R_

G11

 

N = Parameter Number

P = Axis Number (X, Y, Z, A/B/C = 1, 2, 3, 4/5/6)

R = Parameter Setting Value (leading zeros can be omitted)

 

Here's a sample that changes the I/O Parameter (omits P because this is not an axis)

 

G90G10L52(WRITING TO PARAMETERS)

N20R4(CHANGE TO FLASH CARD)

G11(FINISH WRITING TO PARAMETERS)

 

Hopefully this helps.

The problem seems to be with the parameters that need the power off to set. It didn't like it.

The tech commisioning the machine was doing this and I didn't see exactly what was happening but will have a play over Chrismas.

Thanks.

Yeah, Power Off parameters are always troublesome. Why don't you dedicate one rotary to one machine and the other one to the other machine. Yeah it limits you on some ways but that's beats parameter grief every day of the week to me.
