In Fanuc 0i MC I was able to read #5221-#5223 variables meaning G54 offset values. It doesn't seem working anymore with Model D. These variables are zeros in spite of G54 workpiece offset being set. Can anyone guide me where I can find new variables for that. Any other solutions are welcomed.

do you have the G54-G59 workshift option on your Model D machine?
And Macro option?
The 0i Model D manual shows the same values so nothing has changed.....
#5221 - #5225 : G54 Workpiece Origin Offset Value for axis number 1 to 5

to test, in MDI type....
#5221=123.456 [END OF BLOCK] [INSERT]
press start and your G54 X should be set to 123.456
to see the number view your Workshift Offset screen.

if it doesn't work you are missing options.

should these variables also read the values entered straight in the offset table?

NEED HELP!Have a fanuc ot b controller with alarm 601 ram parity error. this turns off and on on parameter 905.4. have changed to new pmc board, new master board, still comes up. any suggestions?

Fordav11 is writing to G54.

To read the values set in G54 (X) to variable 500:

#500 = #5221

or if you want to be fancy:

#500 = [#_WZG54[1]]

Do you get any alarms when you try to read?

I agree with Fordav, it doesn't sound turned on, but thats odd for the 0i-D. Does the CNC display the macro variable page and the work offset page?

should these variables also read the values entered straight in the offset table?

these numbers are read/write so yes, you can read the values too.
i.e.
#1 = #5221

This sets macro variable #1 to the G54 X value that has been pre-set in the offset screen.
