Hi dk,

Did you have any success with your machines?

Still trying to find our problem with the VMC700 toolchanger, we don't have a proper Kryle diagnose params manual, only some extracts.

Odd that it's working again after blowing fuses almost immediately...

I don't know if this is irrelevant...

If the original fuses were slow-blow and were replaced with ordinary (or worse -...

Yes, but this is not the problem he is decribing - tool pos+2. We have to determine if there is a problem in a tool register bit #1 being on all the time.

Thanks for the tip on heavy tools, we...

No sticky yet?

It would be nice to keep this list visible, it will be helpful to many.

Try one thing please - when you select tool 2 what happens, do you get tool 4? or do you get 2? This is important, it will test what Guhl is suggesting.

If you get tool 2 when you request tool 2,...

Many thanks guys.

kmcwhq, many thanks for the info. Not sure I'm the right one to ask how to set it up from scratch, maybe Stevo's answer to my questions below will help all of us...

Well sadly the params we got...

Many thanks guys.

Continuing this problem on the simpler thread to avoid doubling, sorry for that: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94431

This thread is to provide links to manuals and useful docs that are available online. They may not stay active or valid of course, but I will try to keep them updated.

Others please feel free to...

Yes the machine was erased (partially anyway), its toolchanger and MPG don't work, but the state of our machine won't have any bearing on these macros.

What I was looking for here was just a...

minute man: Choices on cables. null or full handshake?

Well it's really up to you, but I suggest that if you're making the cable yourself its best to make the full one. I've always got away with...

I was very kindly sent the following macros by Kryle for our 0M control on a VMC700, having lost our own toolchange macro 9001 and other stuff.

They have been very kind and as they are extremely...

:D

Hi Steveo,

Very many thanks! I sent you the links in a PM a couple of days ago, forgot to reply here.

kmcwhq: Thanks for the macro, will try it out, very much appreciated.

I'm not familiar...

Khalid - Please make a new thread, this one is for Scottjit's problem.

Thank you!

How about your batteries?

If it happens when it's been powered off for a while it sounds like low volts on the batteries and the memory leaking.

If you haven't chnaged them recently it could be...

Time to change it Larry. Buy yourself a Christmas present and copy your data onto it and use it as your primary disk. Keep the old one as a backup. Trust me! ;)

Did you solve this schmitty? I'm curious.

OK, great info, I have a less-dim idea of it now.

To complete a little more info...

Can they be backed up to the PC and restored when needed?

Or is it only by copying the physical EPROM(s)...

Thanks Stevo,

I found a 0M-C parameter manual on the web but it only gives us the CNC parameters, not the PMC Parameters (Diagnose parameters? - what's the proper name?) that we seem to need. I...

Sorry if I'm up the wrong branch, or even the wrong tree! Just trying to help in general since others are helping me with my problem too.

IPL = Initial Program Load. It's an IBM terminology in...

Hi Al,

OK, we can get a toolchange macro, I have seen several on this forum, thanks to all the guys that posted them.

But we don't have a listing of our machine's diagnostics parameter values,...

Yes I believe I've seen a parameter today that turns off program messages - can't remember where or what manual though, I was looking for something else as usual and only just glanced at it!

If...

Odd -

You know to press the MDI button, and to turn off the memory protect key (make it horizontal).

And you can change other parameters but not PWE - that's not normal. Ours changes OK, you...

Thank you guys, we're in deep trouble.

OK it's a Fanuc 0MF.

We had only an old printout of the params 0001-9899, we keyed them in by hand. I have a backup copy on the PC now so once we solve it...

Thank you guys. My reason for asking is we are still trying to fix our MPG and tool carousel problems in my other post, after losing the CNC params and 9001 macro and we don't know what else, on bad...

IPL? You sound like a fellow IBM-er! :D

I'm too much of a newbie to answer you but if you have no replies I will try to help tomorrow.

Unfortunately we had only a listing of params 0001-9899.

We put these in again.

But we also lost the toolchange macro, O9001.

There are still values in Diagnostic params but we don't know if...

The 0-M Maintenance manual page 457 says "Check the following signal using the PMC's diagnostic function (PMCDGN)" but it doesn't explain how, and the signals it lists (param X1008#4) doesn't exist...
