    Program

    I have a new machine and need some help to get it running. It has an ATC tool changer... how can I get it to tool change in MDI so I can load and probe all tools? It keeps giving me 173 and 176 alarms.
    It'll be something stupid, its a operator issue rather than program! Had a quick look at mazatrol and I get the jist of it. The machine was bought in from Germany and is all in Germen so all the manuals are no use to me! I have changed Eprom so screen in back in English but some small things are stumping me! All help welcome and greatley appreciated... I really need to get this running! Many thanks

    You got to set up your macros and data for your ATC if they're not properly set up yet, check your machine manuals, that's all PLC alarms. Check your position switches and pneumatic/hydraulic valves for your ATC as well.

    You must get help, because this machine must be programmed in Mazatrol if You will work effektive.
    I will look for a programming book in english. Please look for somebody near to You for 4 - 5 hours to tell You basics in Mazatrol.
