MESSAGE

[CNC1970]

Hi ,

Do someone has experience in text messages
I want to use M -function but the text must be always different in the G-code program example

M20 'Take tool nr 1'

G0...
G1...

M20 'Turn the piece 180°
Thanks

I don't understand exactly what you're wanting to do... My best guess.

Some options for you. Do you know the G code line shows up in the Gcode window? So, there's no need to MESSAGE it.

If you're wanting to pause the program until the operator takes the action in your M20 line add the commands to your M20 code:
CYCLESTART
MESSAGE Press Cycle start to resume program

Then, when you say "M20 'turn part 180 degrees" this will echo to the Gcode window, the program will pause and you'll also get a line telling the operator to press the Cyclestart pushbutton or icon after completing the requested action.



If this is not what you're after, I think this willl work (I'm not near a control right now to test this)
In your Gcode:
M20 M'turn part 180 degrees

In your M20 code
\999=m

Then you could say MESSAGE \999 or use a QUESTION or LABLE command, etc.

Hi Karl,

M20 T{Hallo}


'M20 T'turn part 180 degrees
{\999=t}
DISPVARB {\999}
LABEL1 \999;10:EXIT

I try this but I think variable only except numerik variable
I ty with ( = } but doesn't work

I find these commands in the manual. I do not know how you want to use them.

LITERAL
This commands simply stores the current G code line or user-entered command line into a variable.

MIDSTR
The MIDSTR function extracts a specified number of characters from a specified position within a string and stores the splice of the string into a variable.

READNOTE
This command stores the last note written in the G code program within parentheses () into a variable.
