Hello All,
How can I detect the Mid-auto manual button if it is pressed on Okuma control.
I can detect the restart sequence by using the parameter VRSTT but don't know about the Mid-auto manual.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

hy i may be able to help, but please give more details

please consider, that is possible that you won't need midauto detection, but other ways to achieve same result / kindly

hello again, few seconds ago, i just made the machine show a message, that mid-auto was used

how may i help you ? kindly

press <Reset> and then press <MidAutoManual>?

[deadlykitten]

hy mr bunny this is about in program detection when pressing mid-auto, thus logic in the *.min file, based on operator pushing it

[Algirdas]

curious, what the procedure could be used for?
normaly I press <step mode>, wait for axes stop and retract then <MidAutoManual> and so on ...

good morning i am also curious what nodochau has in mind

i just realized, i have to check also feedstop + midauto ...

[deadlykitten]

i just checked, and detection works also after feedstop+midauto

---

applications :
... program issues detection, as any of vrstt or midauto is only used when a problem is there; thus for stability improvement, as it can target better code, or detecting an operator habit, or if an intervention was done as required, etc
... improvement for retract & return functions, as for when hobbing, or big tap feed hold, thus any midautor triggered during rpm sincronocity with linear axis, or when thread chasing for rechucked parts
... debuger for a higher method of aproach, aplicable to big parts for example, as to speed up restart at midblock position like a G01 that executes in 30 minutes, thus cut down auxialary time

just use your imagination

well. two more related questions:
1. If the variable indicates the mode "MidAutoManual" active one, or just is indicating the PB contact on?
2. Does the OSP execute the part program while the mode "MidAutoManual" is active?

That is correct. I can use parameter VRSTT to detect the operator has pressed the restart so that I can skip counter or somethings....
Ex: IF[VRSTT NE 0] DO SOMETHING
Now what is the parameter of Mid-Auto when it is pressed.

Thanks a lot.
