WE HAVE AN IKEGAI TU-25 CNC TURNING WITH FANUC OT CONTRIOLLER. PART COUNTER ON THE POSITION SCREEN WILL NOT REGISTER THE PART BEING MACHINE. IN THE PROGRAM I HAVE M24 WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY PART COUNTER WHICH IS LISTED ON PARAMETER 219. iF I RAN THE PROGRAM THE CURSOR STOP AT M24 AND IT WILL REGISTER THE PART COUNT. THE PROBLEM IS IT WILL NOT READ THE NEXT LINE WHICH IS M02 THEN M99P100. I CANT CYCLE AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN WE LOST PARAMETER. CAN I USED ANY M-CODE THAT IS ON THE PROGRAM BY INTERING ON THE PARAMETER 219? PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU

The parts counter is also set in the 900 option parameters.

also, the default M code for part count is M02/M30.

there are parameters to set the behavior and M code.....

0040 bit #3 - RWCNT
0 - Counts parts when M02/M30 is executed
1 - Does not count parts when M02/M30 is executed

0219 - M Code used to count parts (value 1-255 excluding 98/99)

you could fix it by not using M24 and make sure 0040.3 is 0 and set 0219 to 0 (not used) or 2 or 30


as stated above, the part count likely does not work (or work correctly) unless it is turned on in the options.

parameter 0040 bit #3 =1 right now

so i need to change 0040 bit #3 = 0 to use M02 or M03 as a counter

how about 219 = 02 or 03 will this work also

I will try this by Monday and i will definitely let you know the results

Again THANK YOU

[Amboy]

Do you know the specific parameter and the bit. I will try to compare with the other machine we have.

Thank you

[fordav11]

put 219 to 30 or 2 depending on what you use at the end of your program. 30 is the normal M-code to end a program

the option is secret and the admin here does not like us posting secret info because he thinks Fanuc will sue his ass and he thinks us not doing that will keep him safe.
that doesn't absolve him from liability because we just use his forum as a means to communicate privately, still making him liable for providing the means to commit illegal acts.

PM sent!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I TRIED TODAY AND IT WORKS

Would this work for a 21i ? Can't figure a way to count parts. I would use any method if applicable to machine . Machine is a 2004 kira kn-30vb .
Thanks

[fordav11]

its the same thing on 21i but the parameter numbers are different
