    Not able to write macro on Fanuc OT Series

    Hi,

    I just wrote a macro Program on Fanuc Oi mate - TD control. The program works fine on Fanuc Oi Mate control.

    I also want to implement the same on my older machines which have Fanuc O T control.

    I am not able to type the following things on old control -

    1. #3000 = 1 (To generate alarm)
    2. #501 = #2801 (To copy geometry offset in common variable)
    3. If [#510 GT #509] GOTO 999 (This is the tool offset check condition)

    Please require assistance on how to write these codes on older machine or can it be accomplished by some other codes?

    Thanks
    Ashish

    Is this because the controls don't have a full keyboard? If so, you can write the macros on your PC then transfer the program via RS-232 or Ethernet.

    You sure you have macro on the old control? Was an option back then.

    Hey it that really possible? If I transfer that codes via RS232C port then can I really run the program on older machine.

    If the control has the Macro A or Macro B option, yes.

    How to check whether the machine supports Macro A or Macro B on my old machine?

    In MDI type #100= 1

    If your machine alarms it can't read macros. I'm not sure about the difference between A & B. I work with YASNAC machines.

    one of these examples will create a alarm

    Macro A format
    b)Addition #i = #j + #k
    G65 H02 P#i Q#j R#k;
    [Example] G65 H02 P#101 Q#102 R15 ; (#101=#102+15)

    Macro B format
    #100=#101+15

    But how to type # or = character on the control


    As all can see in the attachment, I type the buttons below DELETE button, then is it not getting typed.

    That # character is only typed when I type certain alphabetical character such as A, B
