Compact flash and drip feeding

Hello:

 

I have modified the proper settings for a Hardinge w/ fanuc 18i

 

But now when I use the "main program" (listed at the very end of this message)...to call up the program from the card, I get an error of

 

T "CMD" not vaild with "M6" on the control

 

.....Can anyone help me with this??

 

 

 

 

Parameter Settings: #138.7 = 1

 

DNC operation with memory card is:

0 = disabled

1 = enabled

#3404.2 = 1

 

Address P in M98 block of subprogram call function is:

0 = indicating a file number

1 = indicating a program number

#6300.4 = 1

 

External program number search

0 = disabled

1 = enabled

#6080 = 0

 

I/O Settings:

Channel = 4

 

ATA Card:

File name on card must match program number, DO NOT use filename extension. (.txt)

Example:

card filename - O0001

program number - O0001

 

Use % at beginning and end of program file.

 

Program Call:

Create program in NC memory:

 

%

O0001

M198P2 (calls O0002 on ATA card)

M30

%

 

 

Thanks

Try

 

External program number search

0 = disabled

1 = enabled

#6080 = 1

I could of sworn I was told that you couldn't call to a card from a main Program w/ Fanuc??

The M198 is the external call

Maybe EONS ago, but any i Series Control should be able to do it with ease by changing a few parameters.

We do it all the time, works great.

Did it today for the 1st time - poor mans data server ref one of James's old threads here. Works like a charm

We commonly run M198 for an optirough style path (big code) but this mother hubbard was such a big prog the whole thing had to be run as an external sub.

James,

Do you know if you can call a program from the network through the embedded ethernet the same way?

Theoretically. I've never done it though.
