Mpmaster line numbers?

[DavidB]

With the Mpmaster post I have turned off seq numbers.

Can I get this post to give me a "N" line number for each tool change and a count?

What I would like is N101 for tool 10 the first time tool 10 is called then N102 the second time tool 10 is called in the same program.

 

I noticed this section is post...

code:

---

 #Misc variables

tcnt : 0 # Count the number of tool changes

toolcount : 1 # Tool counter for logic control

toolcountn : 0 # Next tool counter for logic control

toolcountp : 0 # Previous tool counter for logic control

tooltotal : 0 # Tool tool count

nexttool : 0 # Next actual tool

nexttp : 0 # Next tool plane

prvtp : 0 # Previous tool plane

counter : 0 # Counter

nstrlen : 0 # Length of string

last_op_id : 0 # Previous internal operation id

last_cuttype : 0 # Previous cuttype

stock_typ : 0 # Predator Stock Type

cyl_typ : 0 # Predator Cyl Stock Type

z_min : 99999 # Min Z

z_tmin : 99999 # Overall min Z

z_max : -99999# Max Z

z_tmax : -99999# Overall max Z

tapflg : 0 # Flag for tap cycle

sav_mi9 : 0 # Saved mi9 value

rotretflg : 0

compwarnflg : 0

sof : 1

miscvalon : 0

Thanks in advance

I know its doable because our Kitamura program has this set up. I think you have to force the line numbers at tool changes. I.E *n

You will have to check the number logic to get the results you are after.

David this exact topice has been discussed, if you do a search I'm sure you'll find it.

 

How about just an N number at each toolchange?

 

Here's one that makes the N = T

Making it = is easy enough making it = to T =1 one if previously used is little bit trickier

[Storkman]

Pip is correct David. Just force the n at toolchange with an asterisk. All of our posts are that way.

Stork,

 

That's not what he's asking for, if I read it correctly.

 

My posts are set up the same way N only at tool change. He wants N = T and then if T is recalled to roll the N # up one.

 

What David is looking to do is, I think

 

N1 T1 first use

N11 T1 second use

N2 T2 first use

N21 T2 second use

.

.

N101 T10 first use

N102 T10 2nd use

[Storkman]

Could be. I don't speak Aussie mate.

Aussie speak for Storkman

 

Foster's

 

[gcode]

The new X Mpmaster has a new switch called

tseqno that controls this very easily

[*]tseqno : 2 #Output sequence number at toolchanges when omitseq = yes

#0=off, 1=seq numbers match toolchange number, 2=seq numbers match tool number

It was outputing N1 instead of N10, but that's easy to fix

[DavidB]

John must be able to speak Aussie.

Thats what I want

N101 = T1 01=first time in program

N102 = T1 02=second time in program

[Guest]

David,

 

I think for you to pull this off the way you describe you're going to have to create a table to store the already used N #'s and then compare them so you can get the output correct.

 

This thread might be of interest in being able to track your tool changes
