Ok as I stated before I am not a whiz at canned cycles. Try this code here. I changed P90 to P80 and P150 to P140. I also added the D1. to the G71 line. I am not sure if it is needed but this is your pick size; adjust it to fit your needs. I also removed all the N() addresses at the beginning of the lines. Again I am not sure if it will matter but it is just adding to confusion. The addresses are a waste of space and not needed. They are only needed to specify the start and stop lines of the canned cycle.

I also want to make sure of the G-code system you are using. What parameter bit is set to 1? 36.1 or 36.5?

If this does not work for you I will PM someone to come chime in that will be able to help.

Edit: Just to clarify the alarm code you are getting appears that this is a syntax error so we need to work on the code.

Contact Dynapath. They should have them. Dynapath.com

Try commanding a M20 using MDI. This will home the tool changer. If it still does not move, check the fuses.

I am assuming that the Z axis homed all the way to the tailstock side? If you are stuck on a limit, you will have to complete the following:
Open the machine parameters by pressing F7(PARMS), F1(SETUP), F1(LEVEL), type in the vaildation code which is PROTO3, press enter. The access level is 3. Then escape to the MAIN menu.
Press and hold the reset button. Do no release the button until you are certain you are off the limit switch. After pressing and holding the button, (you should hear the drives turn on) press the F1(HOME) and then the F10(HERE). Cycle start should then be pressed. Then use hdw or jog and move the axis towards the headstock until you are off the limit. Done.

When homing a Milltronics lathe be certain that you are on the correct side of the home switch. The switch is positioned many time halfway in the travel. You must home the Z axis on the left side of the switch or you the Z axis will try and home itself and collide with the tailstock or hit the positive limit.

Milltronics has the complete list of machine parameters readily available if needed.

I am not getting any e-mail alerts for new posts. Does this site not alert the subscribers (if so, it can never be a forum with heavy traffic) or do I have to change some personal settings?

On 0i, parameter 1240 contains coordinate values of the first reference position in the machine coordinate system.
!241, 1242, 1243 are for second, third and fourth ref positions, respectively.
Cycle power after changing these parameters.

You will have to try to change the value of NC MD 250 to 1, follow these instructions carefully.

a) Press DIAGNOSE softkey, if it's not there, press the RIGHT SCROLL soft key, you should see it now.
b) Once there press down the RIGHT SCROLL key until the NC MD soft key appears and press down that option.
c) Type 250 and press down the SEARCH key, this will highlight the Machine Data. Machine data 250 is for either a milling machine or a lathe.
d) Press down the EYEBALL button.
e) Type password 1111.
f) Press the ENTER key.
g) Type 1 and press the ENTER key.
h) Press the EYEBALL key.
i) Press the first softkey on the left.

The control should now power OFF and back ON again by itself, this time in English.
I hope I didn't skip any step, please tell me how it goes.

Hey, I'm looking for the area in this forum that deals with edm wirecut machines. Mine is a Hitachi 345q.

Thanks!

I found a hand written note on MSX controls.

Main and Subs can not be stored together in user area.

m98/m65 sub can be called from user area to main memory

in the user area it is not possible to execute repeat or branching commands (IF,GOTO,WHILE etc)

return commands m99P*** can not be specified in user area

must set Tape mode to MAPPS DNC


M198 call from nc memory to user area.
1.) Set I/O channel to 15 (setting 61 input), if needed.
2.) use m198 PXXXX
3.) the name of the file in user area must match the m198 program, no file ext allowed (txt,nc etc)
4.) the program in the user area should end with m99 to end in the main program.


FILE IN/OUT from USER AREA
1.) select the I/O device (setting 64)
2.) TAPE Mode ( the upper right corner of the screen turns purple)
3.) press PROG hard key
4.) Punch/Read F1/F2
5.) cursor to the desired file
6.) execute F6



RUNNING DNC FROM USER AREA:

1.)enable tape mode
2.)cursor to file you want to run, the press input.
3.) press cycle start


Hope this helps any one else who needs.

Furat,
I don’t know your control but if it is just standard DNC communication through the RS232 port then you could use the HyperTerminal on your computer for this. It can be a bit tricky. Otherwise there are some free DNC software’s out there. I don’t have any links at the moment but I will see what I can dig up.

I just noticed the title of the thread. Your machine memory runs through F-rom. Do you have a memory card slot on the machine? If so then you can do all backups using the control to the card.

Sinha,
It should not take any time to receive an email notification. I have a different control panel setting then you do but you should be able to find something labeled "Automatic Thread Subscription". Under that there should be a box to click "instant email notification". Check to make sure you have that selected. If you continue to have problems let me know and I will look into it further.

esto solo es un test.....

If NC MD #11 = 0 then password is 1111. If this factory-preset password has been changed to whatever, then NC MD #11 value will not show at screen unless the actual password is input. However, it can be delivered to you if read thru the V.24 interface.

what control is on your machine ?

Good Morning John,

I have the missing pages you are looking for. Let me know the fax number you want me them send to. The number to my office is 414-281-7700. I would give you my email, but due to the fact that I am fairly new to this forum, it won't let me put my email address in this messageb. If you call in, just ask for Kevin.

Best Regards,

Kevin

Hi all,

Facing a cosmetic issue where after CNC milling, seeing protrusion on Dome surface of the Al part by holding the part at 45 angle under Light. Not sure what the root cause is? i.e. possibly feeding is too high?
