    Q Parameter Programming - Error Check

    Hi

    Can anyone help me with the following issue.

    I have a number of new trainees that are doing basic setting up and operating milling machine.
    We have had a couple instances where a trainee has machined the bed by not setting Z correctly.

    I would like to come up with some coding to stop this from happening but not sure where to start.
    I assume you can pull data for the tool length from the tool table and then take the actual machine co-ordinates to specify bed location.

    Controller - iTNC530

    If anyone can help it would be really appreciated.

    Thank you


    Matt

    Re: Q Parameter Programming - Error Check

    Data transfer NC > NC program (FN18: SYSREAD)
    The FN18: SYSREAD function is particularly useful for OEM cycles if you wish to have access from the NC program to certain NC data, such as active tool compensation. A group number, a system data number, and an index specify the particular item of system data that you read:
    FN18: SYSREAD Qxxx = IDxxxx NRxxxx IDXxxxx (xxxx: Q parameter or numerical value)

    Examples:
    FN18: SYSREAD Q1 = ID50 NR1 IDX4
    Q1 = T4 Tool length L

    FN18: SYSREAD Q1 = ID50 NR1
    Q1 = Current Tool length L
