    3020 alarm

    hey we got an 04 metosa with GE Fanuc 21i-t controls and we are trying to figure out some basic controls we tried making a program that one of their their videos did as a test piece, their video is in metric and we are converting to inches and our control setup is different than theirs,and we keep coming up with a 3020 error when we try runnig the animation we have an opeators manual that we have spent time in trying to find the error but we cannot find it, ours also has pictures instead of writng on the control and we are having a hard time figuring them out. any assistance we could get would be apprciated

    for the programming/animation are you using Manual Guide or CAPS or some other conversational system?

    re: pictures, do you mean your panel buttons have symbols instead of text labels?
    If yes, the positions of the buttons by function and the symbols denoting the functions are standard across the Fanuc range. You could easily google for some Fanuc panels and cross-reference.

    Alternatively post a pic here of your panel and we'll tell you what the buttons are for.

    out with the old in with the new problem

    we have a manual guide. we figured out what the 3020 error was.. we were trying to simulate a part like they did in the video and we hadn't set up any tools in it, after we set up tools however when we go to the animation we get it to go to the start locations and then it stops, it says it is still drawing and no error pops up but there is nothing, no spindel speed no feed rate and the x and z are not changing itjust sits there
