I have done the probe configuration : ring gauge and reference surface. 3106 REN17.STYLUS*OFFSET*POSITION*ERR don't show up. However, I go further in the program and 3100 REN11.PROBE*SWITCH*ON*ERROR has reappeared... I don't understand why.

I just found that the 3100 REN11.PROBE*SWITCH*ON*ERROR appeared simply because in the MACROS there was no M-Code to turn on the Probe RECEIVER. So I simply add it using the Post Process. Conf. When I restart the program, another error shows up : 3106 REN17.STYLUS*OFFSET*POSITION*ERR. Now it really looks like the probe needs to be calibrate using PRODUCTIVITY+ macros. Thanks Masterminder408 for the tips and Crazy^Millman for the tip's explanation

What do you mean ? my probe is already calibrate (using EASYSET from Renishaw). Do you mean that I have to do it each time I want to use productivity plus ?

Thanks for the help! I solved THIS problem (So this mean that there is another problem...). First of all, if you got the same problem with a similar controller here's how I add MACROS to the CNC MEMORY: 1-Post your program 2-Separate each MACROS in the main program 3- Name the files OXXXX.NC (where X's are numbers) 4- Transfer all the MACROS in a USB key (this is the only way that works for me, I cannot do it using our SERVER) 5-Connect the USB to the Controller 6- EDIT MODE 7- OLIST> IN/OUT 8- Now you are supposed to be in the USB KEY 9- Find the first MACRO you want to input in the CNC MEMORY 10- IN/O 11- They will ask you to change the name, name it OXXXX (MACROS don't have .NC) Voila! Here's my new problem: When I start the program, I got the following error: 3100 REN11.PROBE*SWITCH*ON*ERROR BEFORE the error, the machine change his tool for the probe, goes near MACHINE ORIGIN, and it seems to try to teach a zero there... and the probe is supposed to go over the piece and teach the Z0. I don't really understand because I already teach approximate zero to tell the machine where the piece is, so it should go at this position. Anyone has an idea of the problem is going on ?

I called our Dealer and they provide me a working .RENMF. So now I post also all the macro needed for the program (about fifteen). However, It seems that the controller cannot read a subprogram... I tried to make a file for each macros, put it in the CNC MEMORY and the controller still don't find the macros... For a Fanuc 31i Controller, is it the right way to call a subprogram : G65 P2109 A1. C1. I0. 1181 D2. E2. H60. M0. Q0. R0.T-999U60.V1.W0.91Z1 ?

Hi everyone, We just bought Renishaw Productivity Plus for Mastercam X7. I am trying to make it works on our new machine : machine: AWEA 3016 controller: FANUC 31i The dealer modified our post .pst to make it communicate with the Renishaw post ,renmf for FANUC 31i controller. On MasterCam, I am able to post the program. However, when I am trying to run it on the machine, the program tries to open subprogram that doesn't exist on the machine (see the attached file to see all the program that the program is trying to open. Here's the beginning of the program until the error pop on the screen: O0000 (PIECE TEST-6) (AWEA SP3016) (MACHINE GROUP-1) (MCX FILE - G:\RENISHAW PROBING\PIECE TEST.MCX-7) (PROGRAM - PIECE TEST-6.NC) (DATE - DEC-18-2013) (TIME - 11:16 AM) (T60 - RENISHAW OMP60 - H60 - D60 - D0.2362" - R0.1181") (T4 - SLOTTER 1.00 COURT R1/16 PASSE .125 - H4 - D4 - D1.0000" - R0.0620") (T48 - END MILL 3/8 .375 CARB.

I called the dealer who sold us Productivity plus and they don't know why it doesn't work... I also wrote to Renishaw and I am waiting for a response. I also check every single program in the machine.. Can anyone help me ? Thanks a lot Cedrick Baker Missing Sub Programs AWEA 3016.txt
