I have entered the work number for the pallets A and B, but it does not seem to load and run the proper program.
I end the program with,

M60;
M30;
Percent sign

The M60 calls a subroutine 900?
I haven't found anything in the manuals.
It also errors with "Program number not found".
New at this machine, first part program with 2 pallets.

Thanks

I am a repairman and don't know a whole lot of programming but I think you need to input the program number as the work number. I am not at the machine now but I think it is somewhere if you press the setting button and there should be a work soft key that comes up on the bottom of the screen. These are the program numbers for pallet a+b which I think changes during the m60 command.

did you Zero return all 4 Axis and press the ready switch to "ON" position for pallet change?

I checked our program today and this may make sense to you but before the M30 we have an N60 not a M60 which is my understanding calls up a O100 subprogram for the pallet change. Make any sense?

Thanks All
Yes I have entered the work number , the program number for the pallet A and pallet B.
The machine works ok I just have to be sure I have the right program for the right pallet.
Usually the N60 would be a line number or block number.
I found that variable #147 holds a #1 for pallet A in the work position , and #2 for pallet B.
I may have to write a macro program and sub call the right program.
Thanks again.

I have also found that M60 pallet load, and M61 pallet unload??
I tried M61 from MDI and it didn't do anything but freeze, hit reset to return.

I have found that you must :
g91g30z0.
g28b0.
the table must be clamped, then parameters set correct, a m02 or m30 will search for the program # for the correct pallet and the setup station ready button pressed, it will work.
My problem error 59 program # not found was the result of 8 digits in the work number setting, and all programs were ? 4 digits long.
Thanks to Tim .

Look at the Mcode list in the back of the Ladder book. I think M60 is just change pallet, M61 is pallet A, M62 is pallet B

It is running fine now. Running programs on both pallets, you need to have the pallet set in the pallet change position at 0, and locked, only to us a mo2 or m30 and have the workstation ready button pressed, and it will index and run the program specified by the work number set.
Thanks
