Hello
My question is the next.
Can I change the machine signals input and output, by a macro program in fanuc control 30i?

I am trying to change the coolant signal in a horizontal makino A61 but I dont know how I have to do it by macro program or maybe it is possible another way?

In what way do you want to change the signal. Obviously if you wanted to turn the coolant On or Off, this can be done via the machine's "M" codes.

Do the following to determine the I/O of coolant:

1. Turn the Coolant Off via "M" code (not via the Manual switch) with the following program:

M09
#1 = #1032
M00
M30

When the program halts at M00 check the value of #1 and note for future reference.

2. Turn the Coolant On via "M" code (not via the Manual switch) with the following program:

M08
#1 = #1032
M00
M30

When the program halts at M00 check the value of #1 and compare with the result obtained in 1 above.

If the result is different, then you will be able to manipulate the signal via a Macro statement.

Post back here your result and I'll give you an example of the code required.

Regards,

hello bill

sorry for my delay to answer.

I have been checking the #1032 in the makino.

M08
#100 = #1032 answer #100=0.0
M00
M30

M09
#100 = #1032 answer #100=0.0
M00
M30

I have been trying to get the signal by other way but it wasnt possible. I was checking the signal from #1000 to #1032 and all the signals were 0.0
I can get the signal from the makino via makino macro output machine conditions but I have no idea How I could change it.

I don
