I am getting an error when trying to run a program on a DMU160P 5 axis machining centre. Every line with the PLANE SPATIAL command has an error.
This is a program from a new post processor and it the first time we have used the PLANE SPATIAL command, previous programs used CYCLE19.

The lines with errors are 43 , 49 and all other lines in the program with this command.
Has anyone else seen this error? Is it something to do with the control software version?

Update Information No. 4
Releases
The following versions of the NC software were released:
NC software 340 422-03 (export version 340 423-03) - Release: January 2003
NC software 340 480-03 (export version 340 481-03) - Release: January 2003

New features:
The PLANE function defines the position of the machining plane. The TILT MACHINING PLANE soft key appears after pressing the SPECIAL TNC FUNCTIONS soft key. The machining plane can be defined through space angles, Euler angles, projection angles, incremental angles, the entry of three points, or by two vectors. The programming of each function is aided by animated support graphics. This function is only available in conjunction with preset tables. The PLANE function can be programmed after M128.

Thanks for the reply.
I am still working this issue and have a question.
Has anyone come across a problem when using PLANE SPATIAL and FMAX in the same command line?

What is the error message?
Try to use it without SEQ+

PLANE SPATIAL SPA0 SPB+90. SPC+154.868 TURN FMAX SEQ+

Which axis are going to use? A B or C?

Change the line to PLANE SPATIAL SPB+90.TURN FMAX SEQ+

Hi,

I use the Plane Spatial function on my DMU 50 evolution- do NOT delete the angles mentioned here as it would cause a crash!

In my machine "TURN" is not part of the code- I am not familiar with that. You could check if it is whats causing the error (don't try removing it directly- as changes can easily cause crashed. Try it out in test run mode first to see if there is any difference).
