Hi there - did you ever find a solution to unload a Siemens program automatically?

Hi there - did you ever find a solution to unload a Siemens program automatically?
FN16 FPRINT is what you need. You can then set up a TNCCMD script to automatically obtain the value. PM me if you want more details.
What model of probe is it? I am guessing OMP and either 40 or 60.
Just checking in case is RMP or a 400/600.
Actually that was Brent! I'd like to say our parents can't tell us apart but he's the healthier looking one.
I second using the Siemens cycles as a starting point - you could also contact Renishaw regarding Inspection Plus for Siemens which is a bit more flexible and intuitive.
If you want to get the...
Be my guest.
I have been working with a client in the USA using MasterCAM & Prod+ on a Haas with WIPS this last week.
Prod+ has an off the shelf Haas post processor which can be purchased with Prod+, however we...
That depends on whether you are running the WIPS version of Renishaw Probing. If your OMP40 probe has a Haas logo on it, then that is most likely the WIPS option, and the base macro variable for...
Are you sure that MCR_PRNT.txt is not being created on the PCMCIA card? What file format are you getting on the OiMD?
happy to show you what's possible with RS232 - interested to know how your programming probing with SolidCAM. PM me and maybe we can help each other.
I have seen in the OiMC parameter manual mention of parameter 0138, bit 7 (MDN) "The DNC operation function by a memory card is: 0 - Disabled; 1 - Enabled"
Not sure if this is relevant as it seems...
Have you tried RS232 output (change Data I/O channel to 0 or 1)?
Interested to know if the problem is the Flash Card port or the DPRNT itself?
What are you doing with the data - if it's Renishaw...
Do you get no response or an alarm?
Normally with the Flash Card there are 2 file types the POPEN can produce - 1st format is MCR_PRNT.TXT which will cannot be appended to or overwritten. You have...
That doesn't match the format I've seen for Renishaw Lathe Macro 9018. Normally 9018 is a Z Axis measurement, but the format looks different.
My mistake - with the standard Renishaw Inspection Plus the variable for Z Position is #137 - however with the WIPS version, the variables are shifted forward by 50 so you are right - it's #187 for...
What you are looking at there is Renishaw's Easyset code. Program 9023 when followed with an A value & S Value will set the S work offset value to the probed position.
It's more of an MDI...
I created a set of Inspection Plus templates for use on a Haas if you want any help.
Correct on an 18i, but incorrect on a Fanuc 30i. You can DPRNT to channel 9 on these machines, though it does require some file manipulation at the PC end.
Not worth the hassle - keep talking to Max ;-)
From what you are saying you have tried both G10L50 & G10L52.
Just encountered my first Fanuc 160 last week. The key element here is there 0 and the end of the 16. That means that the Fanuc is PC...
I assume you are talking length. How did you calibrate the spindle probe length?
if you adjusted the tool offset length value of the probe by the error would they come back right?
What controls do you have? We can monitor some Siemens, Mazaks and Fanucs through the Ethernet port and give a load of information that is unambiguous including Feed Rates turned down etc.. It does...
Inside the Inspection Plus manual, there is a "variable map" which shows you which Renishaw cycles use which variables. The appendices also talk in greater depth about ALL the Renishaw probing cycle...
My advice is to go with renrepjnr, your 9811 cycle is overriding the common macro variables created in your 9816 which you need for your G68.
G65P9816X0Y0I40.J40. S1(external Corner find)...
Measure the 1st slot with Cycle 977 and store the X centre value in an R variable (The X Centre will be in stored in an OVI variable).
Do the same with the 2nd slot.
I am not exactly sure what you...
Hi there,
I believe you actually mean Siemens 840D rather than 820D.
I see you are trying to program using Siemens Shopmill cycles.
You can do what you are trying to achieve with Shopmill...
Are these parameters specific to the Citizens with Mitsubishi controls?
I don't suppose you have a manual with this information in?
Hey Marc, hope you are well and business is good.
I have tried exactly what you are trying. I was given documentation by Mazak to turn a USB-Serial device into a COM port that the NC side of the...
What controller is it and what probing software are you running (Renishaw, cnc's own cycles etc..)?
I love a challenge!! This will depend totally on what the model is likely to look like and the power of SolidWorks.
The on machine probing and data collection side I can easily handle. PM me and...
