Hi all,

I am working on a Mazatrol Matrix Nexus 2 controller on a Mazak lathe. Got a barfeeder and programs that end with M99 so they can just run in a loop.

For some odd reason, the machine is only counting M30's when it increments the macro for the part count (#3901) as opposed to counting M99's as well.

I know I can add a line in each program, right before the M99, stating #3901=#3901 + 1, but this is suboptimal for my purposes, due to the fact that this line would have to be added to every single program this machine runs.


I was thinking about altering parameter TAP27 to 00000111 but I am pretty sure those "tape" parameters only apply to communications and not the part counter. Am I right on this? If so, is there a different parameter in there that I could alter, to have the machine count every M99 as a finished part?
