    Xilog - Record 220 programing

    I have fairly recently started using a SCM Record 220 CNC and I would like to write a little python program to write an xxl file for a particular task here at this shop. I started by writing a script to output an xxl file for a very simple rectangle. I convert the xxl to pgm using a program called WINXISO.EXE that has worked in the recent past to convert other xxl files.

    When I try to load my new pgm file in the Zilog program to cut it I get an error:
    "xMETALine 17) Invalid Correction of fset for the segment."

    The code I make the pgm file from looks like this:

    H DX=97.000000 DY=48.000000 DZ=0.750000 BX=0.000000 BY=0.000000 BZ=10.000000 -AB C=0 R=1 *IN/"STANDARD"
    F=1
    C=1
    G0 X=5.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=0.250000 E=1 V=8 S=17000 T=150 N="outside"
    G1 X=5.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=10.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=10.000000 Y=20.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=0.000000 Y=20.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=0.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=5.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.375000 V=8
    G1 X=10.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.750000 V=8
    G1 X=10.000000 Y=20.000000 Z=-0.750000 V=8
    G1 X=0.000000 Y=20.000000 Z=-0.750000 V=8
    G1 X=0.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.750000 V=8
    G1 X=5.000000 Y=0.000000 Z=-0.750000 V=8
    C=0
    N X=0 Y=0

    Line 17 is "N X=0 Y=0".

    I have not found any reference to "fset" or "xMETA".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    For what it is worth, the trouble is with the C=1 line. C is the tool offset setting and 1 puts the tool on the right side of the cut. If I remove the line or set it to 0 the program loads and runs. I would like to use the tool offset value though and I am hoping to use it.

    Solved

    I think I have things working. The C=1 is a code to offset the tool to the right of the cut line (C=2 is to offset to the left). The machine needs a little lead in G1 motion to define which is the right side.

    Hopes this helps some one. I till do not know what xMETA is. If any one knows I would like to hear about it.

    Take care.
