I am adding Renishaw probing to two Makino A71's with Fanuc 18i control. For probing it says that Custom Macro B and high speed skip are needed. Do I need software for this or is this a parameter change. please help.

The macro B is just a software option. High speed skip is a hardware/software option. I don not know about the A71's, but a FEW manufacturers put the hardware on all the machines regardless of the options ordered.

Bottom line, I'm pretty sure you need to talk to your dealer to get it to work.
At the very least you need 1 machine with it installed and working. (if you have more than one)

So I take it that this option is not something that can be turned on with parameters as is the case for older Fanuc controls

[psychomill]

The A71 is not that "old" and neither is your control. However, on a Makino, its possible it may already be installed. Macro B should already be active with the Pro3 control and for the High Speed skip, you may already have the card installed. It's just a matter of someone coming in and making it active to the control. I know for sure the low speed skip should be running. Do you have the tool eye option on the machine? (That's the tool length measure unit). If so, you already have a skip card installed.

High Speed Skip 9936.4

Custom Macro B 9933.7

Additinal Varibles 9937.4

I am pretty sure you can get the Macro B abd theb daitinal Varibles But the Skip function might need a hardware upgrade.
Just make sure you have a back up of all your machine system parrameters befroe you start messing with the option parrameters

Bluesman,
is additional variables 9937.4 the same on a 18M model C control?

Yes it should be the same for all 18 and 21 controls. In general these share all the option parameters. Lathe and mill specific options being the exception I believe.

[djmcdaris]

Once I change these parameters how can I tell if they are activated. Is there a G code

[hydrospin01]

thank you dpuch, works great!!!

if you have varaibles 100-199 and 500-999 your 9937.4 worked

[djmcdaris]

thanks, I was trying to find out on the High Speed skip when I turn on the parameter if the G31 would let me know if the proper hardware was installed.

[Verissimo]

Yes, you would need software to run measurements. The high speed skip input is on the back of the control screen(lcd), is the Ja40 Honda connector. If it's not enabled (View input F0122 on diagnosis) use the low speed skip.
Hope i've been helpfull

How do you know all the option parameters?
Recently, I got Dynamic Graphic feature activated on my 0i Mate TC, and Fanuc charged a hefty amount for this! They only changed an option parameter (9000 series) which took just one minute!
They told me that, on newer control versions, such things cannot be done using option parameters. Encripted files come for every control model and every serial number.

I have no option parrameters.

hello all

They told me that, on newer control versions, such things cannot be done using option parameters. Encripted files come for every control model and every serial number.

This question I had ask the bj-fanuc co,ltd ,they told me that, the newer control ,if you change a card of the nc ,you must need a new Encripted file. It only made by the fanuc!
Otherwise the nc only can run 720 hours.

Take care with any parameters mods!!!

dear moowod

it there your parameter upload from the machine ?

Fanuc co. add a funtion to the control that is use a "cnc opset.txt" file.

The file's content most like this:

It only use for Serial NO :EO86B3174
Open the AICC funtion.
of course ,if you known how to write this file.
you also could open a funtion for a control.

Dear Wujp,
Do you have the CNCIDNUM.TXT file before/after option changed?
May i see those files?
