I have a osp5000l-g and am trying to repeat a program 30 times. I have a program that makes one complete part the pulls the bar out with a bar puller located in the lower turret. then all i have to do is hit cycle start again and i get another part. I would like to have a program that with loop a certain number of times. I have a book that uses schedule programs but i can not make it work. help please

1. make shedule program.
2. use "GOTO NL001".
Details:
1. shedule program can contain:
PSELECT PART1.MIN,,,,Q244
this version executes part program 244 times.
file name extension for shedule program is "SDF" <- corrected 2010-12-28 thanks to Mr. broby
selection to load shedule program is "SS" (instead of "PS" as for part program)
but i can not make it work
Sure You can. Some error messages? Post here, how looks Your shedule program
2. Your part program starts with G50 and so on. Right before preparation for first tool selection, place label "NL001" for instance. Right before end of program place GOTO NL001.
3. You can count "GOTO" blocks if Your control supports user task. Then You can program how many times to execute the part program

you cannot use schedule programs in a 4 axis machine. the option for pselect is not there.

[littlerob]

But why not add a couple lines like this?

GOTO N100

IF LT [ EQ 30 ] GOTO NEND

NEND

This isn't formatted right but someone gets the idea, and will correct me.

No this is because the option was not purchased for your machine. 4 Axis machines can use shedule programs

[littlerob]

Thank you budgieW, I knew it was something minor and easily written out in English.

If I remember correctly... if you use P codes within your program and then loop back to the start of the program, you will get "P" code alarms telling you that the number is smaller than the current number.
To "reset" "P" codes to prevent this from happening I seem to recall that programming a negative "P" code will do the job.
i.e.
N100 G13
N102 P-1
N104 G14
N106 P-1
N108 code to jump to program start.

Hope I have that correct for you.
Cheers
Brian.

PS Mr Al you got it wrong, schedule programs use an extension of "SDF" not "SDH"!

All I know about is the 3000 control, but it allows me to do counted quantity runs (bar puller on short bars) using the "Main" and "Customer" program feature - which I think was standard in all of the controls. I think they also called them branch or variable programs. Using I think G394 or G395 (cant remember and dont have a program right handy to refresh) but if you want me to dig up an example for the 3000 control, Im happy to.

5020L-G controls should have schedule program capability standard.

Create a file called RUN30.SDF (or use any other name, but must be .SDF)

In this file enter 2 lines of code:

PSELECT FILENAME.MIN,,,Q30 (use filename of desired program - Q30 will run it 30 times)
END

Now in AUTO MODE, EXTEND and use the SP SELECT command to call up RUN30.SDF. This program is like a higher level program that can call up a "schedule of MIN programs" to run.

You will typically want to use this rather than a loop for many reason such as Load Monitoring, Cycle time calculations, Alarm C stopping the machine, etc.

Program will display after CYCLE START is pressed since the Schedule program will then call up the MaIN program to run.

If you interrupt the cycle, the counter will not advance until the M02 is reached, so you can re-run a part after a RESET if need be without messing up the count.

We do something like this in our shop, but have modified it so that we use Q9999 in our SDF file and use V1 to count parts (V1=V1-1) That way we can easily change the count number for different length bars and can skip the count if the machine lock is on. Let me know if you want to go this route, I can give you more coding.

Best regards,

[Algirdas]

use the SP SELECT command to call up RUN30.SDF
must be SS - shedule select

[OkumaWiz]

use the SP SELECT command to call up RUN30.SDF
must be SS - shedule select

Like I said, Use SP SELECT...

[Algirdas Basher]

Like I said, Use SP SELECT...

I suppose one would use AUTO, EXTEND, SP-SELECT, to do that right?

I t'ink they do the same thing in Latherslotvakia, ye know,, where the vampires live

[broby]

OMG... Big bad Al is correct... but so is OkumaWiz!
When you press the SP SELECT button the prompt that appears on the screen is "SS"
So... if you do not want to use the SP SELECT button you can actually type in the following at the prompt to select a Schedule file:
SS FILE.SDF
That will do the same!

We are using the OSP 5000M-G control. We have actually been trying to run a 180k byte schedule from BB0, (BB1 only has 32k available). We do no have the SP Select option, so maybe the SS will now get it to work-thanks. The book is so limited so I have relied on this site to self-teach. Thank you all.


We were anxious to do a DNC-B upgrade, even if it cost $8K, ok...so we are desperate, but it appears this has been dropped by Okuma and is no longer supported. Too bad we have 5 of these machines and they would have made some $$$$.

Looks like our only option left is to do a memory upgrade. Does anyone have any experience. If so I'd love to hear and will start a new tread so I don't hijack this one.

Thank you,
Steve

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GH It's the rapture I know it. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[Algirdas]

to run a 180k byte schedule
are You sure? I can't imagine schedule program so big
to do a memory upgrade
It's impossible without Okuma support. Firmware must be modified. Or you need to know, how to determine formatting and partitioning of memory into volumes.
