I've been working on a machine with a fanuc o-m controller for about a week trying to get it up and running. We got this machine from another plant in our corporation, and nobody in house really knew a whole lot about it. With the help of some members here, and a whole lot of reading in the archives, I have almost all of the issues ironed out.
One thing I haven't yet figured out is that when we power down the machine, and then power it back up, it loses its work coordinate settings. They don't go to zero, they just seem to randomly change. Tool length settings are fine, it's just the work coordinates.
Does anyone know how to correct this? I suspect there may be a parameter that needs to be set, but I don't know what it is.
