Need Help!- Log file

[Farmers Machine]

How do you turn on or activate the log file so that it will catch something goofy happening to your machine? I plan to cut a bunch of flanges tomorrow and the weather is supposed to be cold. maybe I could find out what is wrong.

Thank You

Put this command in your startup.fil
LOGOPEN SILENT;C!/FARMERLOG.TXT

Then a logfile is always being recorded to C:\FARMERLOG.TXT

I also put a shortcut to this file on my desktop so I can scroll to the bottom and quickly see what just ran. You can then save this file to another file name so its not overwritten on the next CYCLESTART.

If you're sending the file to Camsoft, they prefer that you open the dialog box to save the file. This causes more diagnostic info to be written at the end.


I won't be surprised if you don't find anything on your servo creep problem this way. But at least you can rule out logic issues.
