Murphy,
The receptionist asked you write to
support@cnccontrols.com because we had prepared some instructions for you. We also needed to find out who you were and what product/version you have.
We were trying to be nice to you, but you're making that very hard to do.
We do have a solution but need to know more about what you are doing. It does not make sense. The solution does involve logic files of unlimited size. Not DMC files. Your package also appears to be out of date, from what you say. The records we have do not show this limit. However, currently today there is far more space. By upgrading this would increase the file sizes, but that shouldn't be necessary if the programs were written properly. The space you have for logic is really much larger than it appears and others have done some very impressive and large projects using the Graphical Operator Interface version.
We agree it is best to clear up what you have wrote before some one gets confused.
(1) The Graphical Operator Interface (GOI) version is our non-CNC entry level package.
(2) The M codes you are referring to are not the same as M codes in CNC Lite, Plus or the Professional versions.
(3) Each Macro can hold in memory over 1 megabyte of logic and there are 199 un-reserved macros.
(4) In the GOI there are user definable 199 M codes and each can hold over 1 megabyte in memory
(5) There are at least 10 other logic files all containing logic to run like many individual PLC's
(6) Macros only need to be written once and can be called by other logic files but only using one copy of the macro.
(7) Macros can be nested by one calling another and with proper planning can be very compact.
(8) In the GOI logic files and be run containing unlimited logic commands, like CNC people run G code programs or jobs.
(9) If you prefer
VB or C++ you can write in this language and access the controller motion and I/O through functions calls.
It's up to you how you want to proceed from here. If you make it any harder you will burn your bridges with the others here. We have some questions about your application write to us directly at
