Hi all,

I'm not sure why, but my machine is ignoring my error call. The code at the beginning of my tool change program is as such:

O9006;
M197;
IF[#1008EQ1]GOTO1;
IF[#1010EQ1]GOTO1;
#3000=1(ERROR TOOL CHANGE);
M00;
M30;
N1;
some code

So the machine does halt execution but no error is thrown. Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Thanks!

maybe a stupid question.. Is there a space between "=1" and "(Error...)"?
#3000=1 (ERROR TOOL CHANGE)

Hi,
the machine stopped, so the alarm were not ignored.
the display did not changed because setting is 3111#7=1, configured not to change.

STLMachinist,

No, no space. Luckily the Fanuc control panel won't let you add a line of code if you make a simple syntax error.

Norbert,

It turns out that the machine was halting because of another line somewhere else. The 3117 parameter deals with available displays for the operator on the 31i, so it wouldn't have made a difference.

I did end up resolving this by using different line numbers. As it turns out, N1 was used elsewhere in the macro so the machine didn't really know what to do. Once I changed line numbers, it worked just fine.

Thanks all!

Hi Paul,

good you found the cause,
it's always good not to duplicate line numbers in the same file..

I use line numbers only when it is absolutely necessary.
