  1. I am trying to output the overall gage length, tool stickout plus holder length, with a subprogram call to verify the machine configuration matches what we programmed to. I cobbled together something that produces the results I am after and doesn't seem to cause any problems but I am unsure if I am following best practices or have implemented something that may cause issues downstream with the posts. I added the following lines after the toolcall if not(force_tlchg$ & opcode$ = 15), ptoolcall else, pbld, pn, pzhome, pe sparameter$ = opinfo(20007, 0) oa_leng = rparsngl(sparameter$, 12) sparameter$ = opinfo(20007, 0) hldr_leng = rparsngl(sparameter$, 13) [tlo_val = hldr_leng + oa_leng] pfbld, pn, "G65 P7001", *tlo_val, pe This gives me the following output: N8 (OPERATION NO - 7) N9 T1 M06 (1/2" SKI CARB GAR-85500) /N10 G65 P7001 E5.437 I've posted a few programs and ran them through vericut with no issues, these changes don't seem to have an effect on anything else downstream with the programs. Am I okay with implementing it this way?
  2. Thank you leon and orvie for taking the time to reply and set me straight.
  3. Thanks Paul! I pulled one of the memory cards on our Daewoo's with 21i control and attempted to use it on our new machine. When I plug card in machine detects card and pops up with window showing the files on the card. When I attempt to navigate the program screen to the memory card I get an alarm saying memory card not mounted. Would this have anything to do with parameter 20 on machine being set to 17 instead of 4? Machine tells me the parameter is write protected so I am unable to change it to troubleshoot.
  4. Hello all, As the title states I am looking for help with running in tape mode on a fanuc 31i control. We are currently having to split programs into as many as 20 separate programs. The machine in question is a mazak vhp-160 with a fanuc 31i control. The hard keys on the panel are about identical to a typical mazak but the majority of the control panel pages and soft keys are more similar to a traditional fanuc control. When I put the machine in tape mode I get none of the pages or soft keys that I would get on either a mazak or a fanuc control. I attempted to use an m198 external sub program call to run part program off usb drive as a sub program but I get alarm sr1807. Code used was : m198 p 13536 Any help or resource anybody could offer would be greatly appreciated. I've read through all the mazak and fanuc manuals and there is nothing about tape mode. What information I found online about external sub programs was conflicting whether a usb drive could be used or not.
