So after two years or something like that my bosses decided its finally time to set up unused bar feeder called Spacesaver 2410.

And here lies the problem or should i say somewhere amidst the bar feeder and bar feeder subprogram.

Also machine is operated with Siemens 828d and not Fanuc.

Also subprogram

M31
G0 Z50
M69
M51
G4 F3
M51
G0 Z0.5
M68
G4 F3
M17

Barfeeder sends alarm "waiting for m code" around m code M51 which is supposed to be right code but i have no idea anymore.
So where lies the problem.

Any help strongly appreciated.

Thank you.

Also bar feeder loads new bar into lathe but stops stops when material is at the lathe and sends out the upper alarm.

It's waiting for some kind of confirmation. M51 is the code for Bar Feed in Fanuc land, but it may not be in Siemens land.

This is from a timer being set to a slightly shorter number than the reload time requires. Set it higher. Timer for M51
I don't know what that is on a siemens control. Your local Doosan Dealer or Local Doosan branch should be able to assist with that Siemens control.
