Does anyone know what parameter turn off the orange blinking light that comes on when a program reaches it's M30? It is driving me nuts. Thank you.

Also, we have the same control on 2 machines. Both are Hardinge VMC's. On the VMC1000, the Z displays to the actual Z that is programmed as it is running, ex. prg to Z-.5 it reads Z-.5 on the screen. On the VMC600, the Z stays at machine Z, ex. prg Z-.5 it reads Z-13.75 on screen. Does anyone know the parameter to change so I can get both to read the same? I would like the screen to display programmed depth. I hope that is not too confusing. Thanks.

I have no books. Old machines, I just got here.

I think it is parameter 28.0 but i am not sure. This sets absolute display or relative display on the program check screen.

Send me a PM with your email and I will shoot over the books.

For the first problem, it is related to machine, if you have maintenance manual of machine, try to find something about warning light.

Second, if I understand you correctly, maybe that you have some WORK SHIFT other than 0, or you have to make manual reference return?

Stevo,
I will look at 28. It is the check screen read out.
Thanks.

Padobranac,
I will see if there is a maintenance manual. I know there are no parameter ones.
Thanks.

Compare #18 bit 5 on both machines.

Problems solved. Thanks folks. It was a combo of #28 and #18. That is just what I wanted.

Fixed the lights too. Got tired of screwing around trying to find a parameter or switch, and just pulled the bulbs.

Thanks for the help.
