I have a colchester cnc lathe Model - cnc-2000L having Fanuc OT-Model A(Software Version 602-06) with 2 axis servo motors with absolute encoders. I am facing following problems.
-- Work shift is not effective while I tried to chage it's value. I can input the value but it won't be effective.
-- I could not able to input Mx & Mz value.
-- I could not see the program directory.
-- I could not see it's ladder.
-- It's interface is quite different from OT-C.
-- As this machine having 2mtr.long bed with tail stock, If I try to make a small length component then I have to reenter the whole tool offset. While I tried to run from 2nd ref. point using G30. If i try to run the machine from 2nd ref. G30 instead of ref. G28,tool offset will change It will take additional value from 2nd ref. ( whatever I have enter in 2nd ref. parameter, It will addition to offset.) since work shift is not working,so I cannot compensate tool offset while using 2nd ref. G30 instead of using G28.
Kindly help me to solve these problems. If somebody have same cnc system OT-A having better version software ROM's them please let me know.
Someone told me that use G50 instead of G28, G30. Is it work for my problem.
I would much appreciate for help me out from these problems.

I am not sure wether these will apply to the 0A but the ladder is usually enabled by P0060 bit #2 (xxxxx1xx).
Work offsets, check option parameter 910 #1.
I am not sure why you cannot see the program directory?

Where is the measure button located? ( On cnc soft key or operator panal )
workshift is not working in both axis's.
whenever i try to use 2nd ref. G30 the tooloffset get changed. ( tool offset value + 2nd ref. value )
Do u have OT-A system and it's parameter manual along with it's option parameters?
Could arrange me It software ROM's with new software version?
As i have 602-06 version. I you having upper version software in your Fanuc OT-A cnc system then i can copy from your ROM's.
I would much appriciate for sending me details.

G'day I have a problem with setting the work shift on my goodway Fanuc o-t controll. First I set all the lenghs with the tool setter eg turning and boring bar and then touch the face of the job with the turning tool. I then turn on the work shift and press the work shift soft key and then move the tool away. I then run my program and the z direction is way out from the face. Can any one help.
thanks jimsy
