New to forum & needing help

[pdfisher]

Hello folks. I'm new to this forum and looking for some help. I have 15 years experience using Fanuc controls but have not touched a CNC control in about 8 years now.

I have been given the task of programming a production machining job on an Okuma MC-4VA with an OSP5000M-G control. I have everything doing what I need to do in my main program. What is kicking my tail is calling a sub-program from within my main program.

ALL help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I believe the formatting is the same for a Mill.
Could find a mill sample, but found this.

(************ VARIABLE SET ****************)
V1 = .236 (A DIM BOTTOM OF CONDYLE TO FACE)
V2 = 2.300 (OVERALL HGT. OF PART ACTUAL )
V3 = 3.500 (DIA. OF PART DURING TURN )
V7 = 65 (SIZE IN MM. )

Thanks Mongo,

This is what I have:

N4 G15 H10
N8 S750 M3
N10 /M8
N12 GO X0 Y0
N14 G56 Z0.1 H10
N16 CALL OSUBA

I'm getting various alarms for either no subprogram or subprogram name at the N16 line.

I originally had a numeric subprogram name but cghanged it to SUBA.SUB after receiving your reply butr I'm still getting the same alarms.

Is this the correct extension for subprograms?

I have RTS at the end of my subprogram. is this correct?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Mongo. I have it working now.

I never imagined subprograms needed to be at the end of the main program.

[mongo46538]

Glad to hear it worked...
Enjoy

No, the correct extension is .SSB, System SuBroutine.

I have RTS at the end of my subprogram. is this correct?

Yes, this is correct.

I never imagined subprograms needed to be at the end of the main program.

They don't. If it is named with the proper extension, the control should find it when you use the CALL Oxxxx.

Hope this helps.
