I am just learning the power of macros and attempting my first program using them. I have alot going on in this program as I am nesting 24 parts in 3 double vises and thus macros seem to be a very powerful tool for me in allowing the operator to make adjustments by simply modifiying a variable.
Please tell me if this is possible:
1. Begin master program with a list of variables (common variables #100-#145) with values.
2. Do simple formulas within the master program using some variables
3. Call macros and assign local variable to the macro using common variables assigned in the beginning of the program
Up until this point I have been programming my programs using the Fadal format of programming. The controller also has Fanus format 6M/10M/11M. This will be my first time using Fanuc style. As for work offsets, can I replace E1, E2,.... with G54.1 P1, P2......?
