Thank you final macro is as follows in the O8003 program M462 G53 IF[#525EQ#100]GOTO36 IF[#525NE#100]GOTO999 Location N36 executes the drilling application that destroys parts for scrap. Location N999 shows “Wrong Pallet” on the control screen.

Does reset clear the #100 variable?

Hello Dudes and Dudettes, My program has a main program we will call O8130 for preparatory commands and a sub O8032 used exclusively for maching and verifying the program completed it full cycle 520=0 at the beginning then 520=3 at the end. If tool breaks or machine goes into alarm state then 520 will not equal 3 and program O8003 scrap out program gets called up to drill a couple holes in the part so operator will then be forced to put them in the dumpster. What I need help with is a macro in the O8003 program that will recognize the pallet as being either 1 or 2 and alarming out if the pallet has been indexed front to back to eliminate the O8003 program from drilling two holes in perfectly good parts by recognizing the pallet is not the pallet that the machine did not fully complete the machining cycle on. On occasion an operator will index pallets eg. M60 and the O8003 program has yet to drill the parts that are scrap or unfinished parts due to tool breakage or alarming out. So when they reset and hit cycle start I need the Makino to recognize the pallet that has the unfinished or damaged parts to either be in the correct position or if the operator has M60d the Makino will recognize the pallet is wrong and alarm out. Please Help Rob
