Making post mods for my Fanuc 21i

[milehighxr]

I'll start off with, that I'm comfortable making mods to my posts, I've been doing it since version 6, just usually only once in a blue moon when we upgrade Mcam. My resellers have never been help in the past, which is why I've gotten into modding my posts.

 

Here's what I'm working on, I loaded up the MPMASTER mill post(Mcam X8), and then using that as a base, I copied a new one called ***(name of machines it will be used for). Posted some code, and with the knowledge I've gained reading and searching was able to get pretty far dumping what I don't need.

 

I need to add, an M29 for rigid tapping(it currently does not output this), and a G40 G49 before every tool change.  I can't find where to stick the M29 for rigid tapping.

 

And I'm having a bit of trouble getting the G49 to post correctly. If I put it in pretract, it comes out, but it has an extra N#(# equalling some number with sequence numbering). G40 won't show up at all.

 

Sample of what I have now:

In the MPMaster, try looking for this switch

 

rigid_tap   : 1     #0 = Floating tap output, 1 = Rigid tap output (suppress spindle output and output M29)

Already did that, though it might help if I programmed the right cycle in the GUI

Likely not the correct way but search for "sm05" then paste this on the next line:

  n$, *sg49, *scc0, e$

Then save and try to repost.

Thanks dude. I stuck at the very end of the pretract, and added "pbld," to the front of what gave me, and its perfect. No errors, and gives me what I need.
