We have changed attributes to -MX from H-X and deleted files P999997 & P999998 from the panel, and then rebooted using SHIFT then RESET as instructed by Fagor. Upon reboot, P999995 has been...
Thanks for replying Sting, did you delete those two files from the cnc panel, or did you have to dnc into it?
Its P999995 & P999994 that I am missing, these are OEM created TXT and Help Files.
Can anyone send me copies of these files from an 8040TC control
I have an 8040TC with this same issue, did you ever resolve it?
Hi Folks, I've picked up a 2003 Gate Eclipse ECL-460 which is a re-branded Buffalo Machine Tools - Microcut BNC-1840 CNC lathe with a Fagor 8040T control. Just piped and wired the machine up, and...
There is plenty of 810D documents available on siemens doconweb website ;)
Google doconweb
I don't need to use G0 to index the spindle of my VMC.
SPOS=180 does the trick, M19 brings it back to Zero. Useful for retracting boring heads in a VMC.
Parameter MD34090 sets the zero point...
You can find commissioning manuals at Siemens Document Portal, search google for DOCONWEB
Chaos! Not seen anything like that before. That machine looks like an expensive collision waiting to happen :S
Siemens documents portal is called DOCONWEB by the way ;)
Do you have auto probes or is it manual measuring you want to do?
Manual measure;
Touch tool onto end of some barstock/job, press JOG, TSM, Measure Tool, Length Manual (z axis), Select...
Your machine is probably set up to use tool names not tool numbers as your ATC will relocate tools into different pockets everytime you change tool. Hence numbers won't give you same tool each time....
USB will only ever function on an 810D panel if it has windows XP Pro installed on the PCU. The computer behind the lcd screen.
My machine (2008 Chevallier QP2040L) has Caldera Dos on it and...
I think he meant a normal PC, not the actual machine.
You may find a motor above the ATC with a where you can manually wind the ATC arm with a ?13mm? socket. With our machine you have to wind the motor spindle clockwise until all the white lines on the...
Go to Siemens Automation website and download Sinutrain Operate TRIAL, it works for 60 days then you have to pay up, not sure of price but not cheap. Does offline programming, DNC, and full ShopMill...
If your 840D system uses a PCU20 it doesn't have windowsXP, it may be winnt4 or DOS.
Only PCU50 / PCU70 use WindowsXP Embedded. If DOS like mine you can only plug keyboards into the USB socket. ...
Is this still live? If so would you send me the drawings/models also?

Not sure about license,
but I think G290/G291 turns ISO Gcodes on/off, or should I say, turns Siemens Extended Mode off/on.
In Auto, Select the positioning cycle, press Block Search, pick what opp you want to do, pick start hole, press input.
Simple as that on my 810D Shopmill 6.4
Ask which PCU is in the 840D, there are a few variants, some much more powerful than others.
avoid PCU20 machines as discontinued now and USB doesn't function. And limited to HMI Embedded, instead...
Sounds like a corrupt file to me. Delete and reinstate cycle/program and try again
type DOCONWEB in google...
First result.
Documents/Manuals/Service stuff/Comissioning for any Siemens Industrial kit. ;)
call the next tool in GCode as you normally would, but omit the M6, this preselects the tool. It will only do the actual toolchange on receiving M06.
Put the preselecter call straight after the M6...
I had problems like this on our machine...
Dugard Eagle 1000
The machine is the single door model with 24 Sidemount ATC, made by Chevallier of Taiwan ;) Who in turn is owned by Falcon Machine...

You have to set up chuck jaws, tools, and tailstock first though in settings first.
Safer to look through the window than watch this...
