I'll try this, but I have a question:

Without any macro attached to T code and without M6, T0101 should be able to update the Geom/Wear (already working) and then finish the command by jumping to the next block without do anything else, no macro, no PLC waiting. Just activate the Geometry and then finish the command.

The problem now is that T command (pure) isn't being executed at all, T update the values on ABS, but the command isn't able to finish itself.

Try my suggestions in post#15 and report the result.

Set 6001#5=0 and command T0101 (no M30) in MDI. Does it take effect?
If yes, set 6001#5=1 and again execute T0101. Does it work?
If not, post your main program as well as modified O9000.

Par 6001#5=0 T0101 in MDI the geometry values update in ABS, thats OK, but the command never ends, Cycle Start still ON, no alarm raises.

Par 6001#5=1 T0101 in MDI, The tool change occurs, ABS values updated and CNC stops at T#149, Cycle Start still ON, no alarm rises.

Par 6001#5=1 and no T#149 on O9000. The tool changes but the ABS values not updated with Geom/Wear values.

The modified O9000 is just insert T#149 before the first M99.

Thank you

Post your 9000 program with the #149 in it.

I guess, you mean to say that if you have, say, tool number 2 in the cutting position, and when you command, say, T0101, then tool change does take place with 01 offsets, but the command never ends.

It appears that there is some problem with the finish signal.

Yep, this works. The PLC was not ending the T command. I'v assigned the 9010 to M6 and changed the T change routine in the PLC.

Everything works fine now.

Thank you all that help me.

[stevo1]

Glad you got it.

I prefer to avoid the sub call with the T() and use the M6 to call a macro instead.

9010 or 9020?

[stevo1]

I use the 9020-9029 range so that my T() #20 gets passed over to the local variables. I would have to double check if 9001-9006 will do the same thing.

9010 calls with a G-code not M-code. However these will also pass data to the system variables.

I just ass u med that is where you were going.

9001-9009 are called as subprograms. So, data cannot be passed on for use inside these.

Does the 16M have the same wear/offset settings.

I'm still trying to figure out which FANUC lathe control I want.

If you are referring to the fact that you will have the geometry setting and the wear settings in the offset page then yes it will be the same. However these are options in the Fanuc control so depending on which memory offset you have active will dictate if you have both.

Hello guys, sorry by bringing this topic back but I need to know how to show the option WEAR/GEOM on 18TB.

The machine was retrofitted and the operator says that before the machine had gone the option was there, but now there is nothing but the GEOM.

I tried to find the parameter on the parameter manual but with no success if you guys knows why FANUC still kicking me please help and I'll be glad.

Thank you by the advance,
Eduardo
