TNC 2500 Programming in ISO

[Trucks]

Hey Guys,

Seems no one can help me so far.

Anyone have an example of putting in a G54 offset into thier ISO program for a TNC 2500 control. I have a vise set up in my mill, and I know the offset values, I am just not sure on this control how to program that in, and then will it cancel it self when I do an M6 for tool change?

Or does anyone know who to contact at Hedeinhan to ask?

Thanks.

Do you want to use the datum table or just shift a block of code?

Here's how I use the datum table on my 426, your 412 should work similar if not the same. Not my post, Plankman's code but I like the way it works. It uses G53

Thanks for the response.

I guess I want to use the datum table because, I have a vice set up on my machine, and I want to use the corner as my reference. How do you get to the datum table?

I can't find it in the manuals I have.

Use the online editor, change the file type to .d and it should list all of the datums. The manuals are available on the HH website. Invaluable. Pick up the location and enter in in the datum table. Then use the G53 line like above before each tool like shown.

Thanks for the help so far, I downloaded a bunch of manuals but didn't find that exact part yet. I also did get the machine to communicate with my computer using easy DNC, but it freaks out and gives me an error while uploading the program "incorrect h". Do you know what that means?

Also I put the tool files into Program 0, and just used a M06 t01 for example, but it didn't seem like it had the tool length while I was coming down to touch off at a certain point, so is that the correct place to put tool values? It did not like me trying to use a G99 a line before the M6 either.

Are you available for phone support at all? $$

Thanks,

Andy
