using IF and ELSE statments

[mayday]

What am I missing here. I've set up the post as follows

p_wcs =

 

1=front plane

2=top

3=right side

4= left side

5=bottom side

in the machine I have label calls (or subs)for the head rotation

the machine can change tools at a front or top plane.

anything but a 1 or 2 plane, the shortest index postion is to the top

for tool change

 

 

Im using p_wcs position to see if the head

needs to rotate to do a tool change.

 

this is from my ptlchg_com section

 

if p_wcs <2, pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e

else,

pbld, pn, "CALL LBL 2 ; TOOL CHANGE", e

pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e

 

this output is good

53 ; ROUGH SOUTH END

54 ;

55 CALL LBL 2 ; TOOL CHANGE

56 TOOL CALL 22 Z S800 F2032

57 CALL LBL 4

58 ; 6" ROUGH FACE MILL

 

this works except when beginning the program if the initial plane is 1 or 2

I get a double tool call like this

 

2 CALL LBL 1

3 ; SPOT PART FRONT

4 ;

5 TOOL CALL 58 Z S800 F64

6 TOOL CALL 58 Z S800

7 ; 58 SPOT DRILL

 

not sure if I set up the IF and ELSE statments correctly

You need these to close the equation is all [] then I think it will ifx your problem like this.

 

if p_wcs <2, pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e

else,

[

pbld, pn, "CALL LBL 2 ; TOOL CHANGE", e

pbld, pn, "TOOL CALL ", *t, *sgplane, *speed, feed, peob, e

]

try that and see fi it fixes it.

 

Crazy Millman or take out the * in the secone line and that should keep it from double posting.

YOU DA MAN Crazy

I was trying that,but didnt have the layout right.

looking to hard I guess. I gotta test it to make sure it works in all senarios.

Anything to help a bud.
