Hello,
-Copied files to USB from Lathe with OSP P300L controller
-Import files to Lathe with OSP P300LA controller
-Try to open the files and get an error with file number (not comfortable)
-Tried different USB stick

The P300L does have a steady rest, while the P300LA does not. Could this be the cause of the issue? We were able to import other files that use the steady rest.

Copied 3 files, one works as intended while the other 2 come back with this error.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

What is the full name & extension you are using ? (ie ABC123.MIN)

What is the error ? ( This should answer everything )
What do you mean "not comfortable" ?
.... machine type (control you name), error number, 2 lines of text after the error number
.... or a good jpeg of the screen showing error

You can copy part program files (.MIN files) but probably you can't edit IGF files in another machine because they are related specs or igf version.

Sure, the very first question is if these are part program files (.MIN). There is no point to copy other than part program (.MIN) and schedule program files between Okumas. Part program files can work on other machines also, after allignment with their specification.
if yes, you can locate the fragment of the text which is not comfortable.

hy i can take a look, so please share those 3 files, and the error / kindly

Sorry and thank you for replying to my inquiry. The error was "File No. UNCONFORMABLE" I am not a CNC guy, just trying to help my Co-workers I'm a Fanuc welding robot guy :P

So... a Fanuc guy, what is the full error explaination ? As it all helps to point out the issue.
Later controls may have "HELP" key, press it when the error is active, it should display the solution.

Are you trying to use a file name like the Fanucs use ? Ie O1234.NC
Try using Okuma naming rules
Ie ABC123.MIN or A.MIN
Letters before numbers, no double Os etc.
.MIN is the extension for the machine code (like .TAP or .NC)

[deadlykitten]

please, if possible, share those 2 errored files, or at least a photo of filename, or specify extension

[crweld]

The file extension is ".PET" I cannot get a picture currently as the lathe is in full production of other parts.

[crweld]

Thanks I understand my question is vague and I did not provide enough details. They are using files with a .PET extension.

hy crew i guess you are that guy with good windows skills, also good at fanuc robots + more

i am sorry, pet files are not always compatible between machines; it seems an easy way to transfer programs, but they do not hold only operations, as also machine specifics

but if it did not work one way, try from the other machine to the 1st

if this fails, don't discourage, there are still solutions / kindly

[crweld]

This makes the most sense, the problem occurs when the unit with a steady rest makes an edit to a file, the newer unit without a steady rest will no longer recognize the file. I had proposed that could be an issue but the guys weren't sure. Thanks from, the good with Windows dumb with CNC guy

[deadlykitten]

hy crewld i sent you a private message on industry arena, like attached ... pls check it

yes, and there is more : for example, you may have 2 lathes with same configuration, and not to be possible to transfer *.pet between them, or maybe only one way, like between one machine to the other, but not viceversa

pet files are a product of igf software version; igf itself is specific to configuration, but also, the pet file, is not just a simple save data file, but an *.exe undercover ... so a simple change in igf, triggers much more many changes into the pet file, like if you change, for example, feed from 0.15 to 0.16 in igf, then the pet file will change not only with 1 char, but much more, in many places, non consecutive

I had proposed that could be an issue but the guys weren't sure

you are not the 1st to hit into pet files compatibility issues

Thanks from, the good with Windows, dumb with CNC guy

everything can be learned / kindly

[deadlykitten]

even more, an update of actual machine, may render all existing pet files as incompatible with the last install

thus old configuration related igf work, no longer available / kindly
