Date Code Macro

[cncchipmaker]

Does anyone out there have an example for a macro that calculates the week number based on the date? Preferably custom macro B. Thanks in advance.

Not exactly macro B but the algorithm is here. You can build this with existing macro B functions.

I personally have a disgust with Fanuc controls in regards engraving of text. It should be easier to do it as it is with their major competitors.

I personally have a disgust with Fuhnook controls too.

I don't think it's terribly difficult... then again, I have a LOT of experience with FANUC.

To be honest it's a good reliable control i just wanted every one to say fuhnook in their head.

 

I'm still waiting on definable variables tho.

You mean, like using "SETVN" to name the variable in Fanuc?

 

You can use that command to assign a "Alpha Name" of up to 8 characters to variables #500 - #549.

 

If the 'Custom Macro Variable Name Expansion' is enabled, you can use up to 31 characters in the Variable Name.

I still can't figure out why we're still limited to a couple hundred variables.  We should be able to have at least tens of thousands by now.

There is an option to expand the MACRO variables beyond #999. I'll get the part number tomorrow. It's a BUNCH.

Latest Makino's we received have variables #98000-#98500 . It will be a few weeks before I use all those. 

 

IMO though, if you've used #500-#999 , than you haven't written you macros very efficiently. Never hurts to have more though.

For me it's a matter of having a multiple options.  Renishaw probing wants about 200, and Productivity+ wants about another 200.

Ok, You need Custom MACRO (J873), then Additional Custom Macro Common Variables (R687), 100 + 1000 = 1100 Total

 

This is ONLY for 30i series controls.

Let me guess, they charge you $5k to turn that on?
