    Multiple op skips

    I read in the Oi manual that it is possible to use /2 etc block skips by turning bdt2 etc on or off. How would i know if this option is available on my control and can I write to that to turn it on or off or is it a parameter? Thanks.

    You'd have to have two or more actual block delete buttons on your control panel (or some other means of turning the switches on or off) for this to be functional. The machine tool builder would have had to also built the capability into the PLC. It's available on the control if everything else has been prepared.

    the optional block skips are almost always in the software panel screen via SETTING.
    buttons are not needed nowadays, especially on the i controls.
    it's an option. as stated, it needs ladder support and PMC parameter + Fanuc options setting to enable it.

    actually, it is accessed via CUSTOM or AUX panel button. then OPER PANEL > BDT
    here's a quick photo on my Mori with 21i

    Re: Multiple op skips

    Ok cool. So if I get to that page then the control supports it? This is a new machine and am looking to write to these possibly to shut off sections of code, is that possible? I have written post processors and was told on a Mazak they would probe for part presence and write to them to shut off those stations. Thanks for your responses.

    if you see that page you have the option. if you dont see it then you dont have it. Fanuc do not let you see anything unless you have it.

    if your machine has macro you can use a GOTO to jump over stuff
    like this....

    G0 X123. Z123.
    GOTO 2
    G0 X333. Z333.
    N2 G1 X0
    etc

    or use sub programs to do specific parts
    G0 X123. Z123.
    IF [#100 EQ 1] GOTO 2
    M98 P1234
    N2 M98 P2345

    If and jump through a var was what I was going to do but was asked to come up with a different way to do this. I thought of the multiple skips but had not used them so didn't know anything about them. Just want to probe first part only.

    Re: Multiple op skips

    you could use the regular optional block skip for that.

    They are using the normal one for skipping something else.

    They ended up just using the normal skip. I looked but couldn't even find the common var page. It is a machine that the mfg put their own spin on the ole fanuc and I think they hid a lot of the common stuff. Seems like alot of mfgs are doing this.
