I need to change parameter #3772 from within a macro. I have been trying G10 L52, but cant seem to get the parameter to change. I think there may be a another parameter preventing the rewrite.

I need to change the parameter to the value of macro variable setting #720

G10 L52 N3772 R[=720]

or something similar.

The goal is to use a set of macro variables for max RPM of each tool, then have the macro change setting #3772 to the corresponding max RPM for the tool that's been called.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

Hello Chriseg1,
The syntax should be as follows when using a Macro Variable.

G10L52
N3772 R#720
G11

thank you for your reply,

I am getting an "illegal expression" error with the code on the line with N3772 R=#720

here is my code:

%
O9022(MAX RPM)
#720=#[#149+400] (sets #720 to value of #500-510 depending on t code value in #149)
G10 L52
N3772 R=#720
G11
IF[#720LT24001]GOTO100
#3000=100(RPM TO HIGH)
N100IF[#149EQ0]GOTO200
IF[#720EQ0]GOTO190
GOTO200
N190#3000=101(NO MAX RPM)
N200M99M30

"=" symbol after R is not given.
Read Bill's post again.

removed the"=" after R

code is:
G10 L52
N3772 R#720
G11

now getting a "missing axis error" ? no axis on this parameter. its just a single input box.

GOT IT!

its a spindle parameter and has to have a P value before the R

so final code looks like:

%
O9022(MAX RPM)
#720=#[#149+400] (sets #720 to value of #500-510 depending on t code value in #149)
G10 L52
N3772 P1 R#720
G11
IF[#720LT24001]GOTO100
#3000=100(RPM TO HIGH)
N100IF[#149EQ100]GOTO200
IF[#720EQ0]GOTO190
GOTO200
N190#3000=101(NO MAX RPM)
N200M99
M30

This works and put the value where I need it.
