In our tool data page for our length offset.

everytime we start any program, the control clears the length data out of 1 and 2 tool data.

If we try and use T1 T2 ( H1/H2) machine will crash.

anyone run upon this issue?

thanks,
Gary

Post the program which clears the length offset data.

[mfain88]

That has no effect....... here is what all our headers post out: of course tools and x y 'are different.

Always G49 (clears offsets, in case tool lengths changed)

No matter what we do it wipes offset 1 and 2 out to zero.

Do you mean to say that the length offset table has some value in row 01 under H column (Geometry & Wear), but it becomes 0 after you run this program?

[drdos]

Does this machine have Tool Life Management? It is possible to have Offsets assigned to Tool Life Groups.

[mfain88]

It does have Tool Life Management. but its turned off.

[mfain88]

Yes. we can enter the tool length as : 5.3254 and it will zero offset 1 and 2 as soon as the machine starts moving.

[sinha_nsit]

There might be some other issue which needs to be identified.
A program cannot change offset values without using G10 or system variables. And you are not using these.

[mfain88]

There is not any G10 commands in our programs.

I'm not sure about which system variables might be changed, it is a used machine, only been using it 2 weeks.

What is PRM 3290 thru 3295 set?
Also, when performing a tool change, does the machine jump to another program to change? If so, this macro program could be changing your offset.

Single step thru the program to identify which line of code does the dirty deed

What does the G5 P do ? .....should it be G65 ( a macro call ) ?

M6 is an actual jump to a toolchange macro
- you may need to enable the 9000 series programs to read that macro

[mfain88]

Soon as it hits the M6 it clears tool data 1 and 2.

G5P10000 --- set the Fanuc SGI logic on

where do I check if Macro's are on? having trouble finding it.

[mfain88]

3290 thru 3295 are all set to 0

It does not jump to another program.

we are not using any macro programs.Attachment 318252

[Superman]

It should be in your library of the 9000 series.... you need to enable a parameter to be able to view/edit this 9000 series
- a search says it may be O9000, O9001, or even O9006
you need to find the parameter that makes the jump to the toolchange macro...one says it is parameter #240....check your manual

thought we had it, walked away machine crashed.

enabled edit 9000.

still working on it.....

frustrating.

3202 NE9

[mfain88]

It is set to 1

[zavateandu]

It is set to 1

must be 0 to see the 9000's programs and set to 1 to protect them.

[drdos]

Is the option bit turned off? What is the value in 9932, 9957, 9985, 9937, 9906, 9995.

[mfain88]

can't find 9932, 9957, 9985, 9937, 9906, 9995

goes to 8343
