    In need of assistance

    I'm trying to figure out the whole script for the tool change and I'm getting nowhere. My tool holder will be mounted to my y axis table and all movements have limit switches. Is there anyone who could shed some light this way before I rip all my hair out.

    That's an error from the MSM screenset. If you tried to uninstall it, and didn't do it properly, it can cause all kinds of problems.

    Yeah it had to do with other screen sets I had tried earlier.

    I'm now c fused of the var table and what the getoemdro(1200) is about. I have movement but it's not moving as it should. Is there something that has to be done with the dro's on the settings page?

    You need to explain a little better? Did you write a macro, and that's where you're having the problem?

    I think it's the x tool change location in the settings screen

    I'm trying to get my m6 to wait for input 1 to be active before it continues with the tool change. I have a Colombo relay for checking rotation. I can't get my m6 to wait for the input. It either skips over the line or it requires me to press cycle start after the system wait for command. Do you know what I might need to put in the code for it to end the system wait once the input 1 is active?
