Hi again guys,

Ok, I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help but I would like to know how to use the part counter, and run time counter on our Chiron FZ12 W Fanuc 21MB.
The counter does not appear on the POS Screen , or indeed anywhere I would expect it. We do have a CUSTOM GRAPH button that brings up a screen with a soft key option of COUNTER. This brings up a screen with RUNTIME and PARTS, however I am unable to reset the figures and the figures do not change upon programme end. I have set Parameter 6700 6710 etc. I have assigned M40 as the count, but nothing changes on the screen. I hope someone can shed some light on this . Cheers all.

I have attached 2 pics of the screen .Attachment 230946Attachment 230948

try Offset/Setting button till you get settings page, scroll down to thirth page, counters are visuble on most controls.
They can be changed in MDI-mode.

I agree on Duivenhok

Hi guys,

nope that doesnt work, as I said the only screen with a counter on it is the "Custom Graph" as pictured.

Maybe param 3108#4 WCI
On the workpiece coordinate system screen, a counter input is:
0: Disabled.
1: Enabled

try in mdi mode #3901=10
if counter changes to 10 then you find out if it works do #3901=0 to reset counter to 0
put in program before reset/rewind #3901=#3901+1 to make the counter count plus 1
#3902=100 should make a message appear when 100 pieces have been produced.

Hi guys

duivenhok, #3901=10 brings up illegal variable number error
botha.y that bit is set to 1

I think I will give up . Thanks for your efforts everyone.

Try in mdi mode #1=1
If it accepts this than macro b is installed and you van program a custom counter.
