macro variables to give operator instructions HELP!!!

[javi11]

good morning peers!

 

so I am working on something new at work and I came across an article on the web where you can kind of cancel out cycle start and instead use the Y or the N in order to cycle start the machine once again after an M00. I think I am doing it correct but it keeps giving me an error on the IF part and on the GOTO... part I kind of understand because it is reading it as a tool for T and circular motion for I. is there any way I can fix this without making it a comment line? or does anyone know what I am doing wrong? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you

 

below is part of my post.

What control are you using? Haven't seen the M109 before but I assume it works similar to a VBA msgbox. Also I am not sure what you mean by "I kind of understand because it is reading it as a tool for T and circular motion for I."

I am running a haas VF 4SS with the small 4 axis rotary

Well, I used Ncplot's #3009 variable to mimic the M109 function on your control. The logic seems to work fine in ncplot at least. What alarm is the control throwing?

[javi11]

its on the IF part. the haas machine recognizes it as it if were going to do a circular motion because of the I it does not read it as the word IF. also, on the GOTO... part the machine only sees the T for tool I believe so the 3 coding lines it will not read them or I rather say the machine gives me an alarm saying its an illegal line.

If you type #501=0 in MDI what happens?

[javi11]

so I got it to work! the only weird thing is I don't know why I have to press y and cycle start? I thought you only had to press Y in order for it to start working?

 

on this program after the first #501=0. it wont cycle start?  and if I manage to somehow cycle start it wont respect the second #501=0.  so that way the next run the macro #501 would be at 0.
