Goodday Guys


We have a Victor Mill
S/N: NK-1217
Year: 1986
System: 10M-A

South Africa

We recently had a memory corruption and our technician reloaded the control using the IPL menu and hard copy ( Printed Sheet ) of option parameters , data , keeprelays , counters , timers and parameters.

We however are having problems running programs , the program just stops after 3 lines , there are no alarms.

We are missing the macro programs and think that this may be a issue.

We are not using the tool changer so we don’t think that the macro for tool change is the issue , are there any other macro programs that are needed?

Here is the start of the program. The spindle starts up fine and the Z axis moves to its start position and then just waits.

O0002 G28 G91 Z0.0
G28 X0.0 Y0.0
G0 G90 G54 X15.0 Y65.2 S2000 M3
G43 Z100.0 H01 M8 ( The Program Stops Here Before The Z Axis Moves The 5mm )
Z5.0
Z2.0
G1 Z-0.3 F1000.0

We hope that you can assist.

We also don’t know how accurate the parameters are from the printed sheet. We have a backup of the control parameters from when the machine was running.
But not the Options or Data (eg. Timers Counters ) these are only from the printed pages.

Thank You In Advance

i do not see any T command for a tool
you do not call any tool?
try to put T01 M6 before like this

O0002 G28 G91 Z0.0
G28 X0.0 Y0.0
T01 M6
G0 G90 G54 X15.0 Y65.2 S2000 M3
G43 Z100.0 H01 M8 ( The Program Stops Here Before The Z Axis Moves The 5mm )
Z5.0
Z2.0
G1 Z-0.3 F1000.0

You don't actually need to load a tool. I run single tool projects all the time by manually loading the tool and omitting the Tool call T01 and change M6 from the program - I do use the G43 Zxxxxx Hxx offset line of code. Can you manually start/stop the coolant? Try deleting the M8 code or moving it onto its own line:

O0002 G28 G91 Z0.0
G28 X0.0 Y0.0
G0 G90 G54 X15.0 Y65.2 S2000 M3
G43 Z100.0 H01
Z5.0
Z2.0
M8
G1 Z-0.3 F1000.0

Moving the M8 down a line or 2 would also allow you to see if the mill will continue moving before it gets to the m code.

The other option is to remove the tool/work piece and then deleting the H01 tool offset call (you may need to play around with your work zeros to avoid a crash or overtravel).

Thank You For The Reply Guys.

I Will Try To Remove The M8 Command And Report Back

The Time Difference Between Us Will Just make It Difficult.

Thank You

cjfisher You Are A Absolute Champ

We removes the M8 code and the program ran perfect.

I have not had time to fault find why it does`t work , have been running around with breakdowns.

The thing is before the memory loss the M8 code worked fine.

Thank you for your help I would never have thought to look at the M8 code.

Welcome.. Champ!?.. I don't know about that. Can you turn the coolant on and off manually? I'm out on a limb here (and I mean really!) but I'm guessing that the machine is/may be waiting for a signal from the coolant control relay that it has closed. You might look at the machines electrical diagram and the ladder logic to find the output for the coolant pump. You should also look for a low voltage signal return to the plc to indicate that the pump is running. That gives me another idea - check to see if there is a tripped motor protection block on the coolant pump relay.
