Parameter problems

[chip6990]

Hello all,

i just fixed my Ecoca SJ-35 Lathe that had dead for 2 yrs. the batteries died and lost all parameters. I just got it fixed last night, and am in need of a simple little program to test everything out. I have only programmed Haas before, so this Fanuc controller is all wierd for me. I tried to write a little program in it, but kept getting a 10 or 11 alarm when it came to a "move"
what am i doing wrong?

~all i need is a start to finish program, that will move the Z and X seperate and then together. I can modify the coordinates later.

another issue for me is it in MM? how do i swap it to INCHES? it wont let me change it on the Parm/Diog. page. i have tried everything!

To change it to INCH mode, go to the SETTINGS and change the INPUT UNIT

It should program very much like a Haas.

Alarm 10 is IMPROPER G CODE
Alarm 11 is NO FEEDRATE COMMANDED

Hallo

My name is N.Sachin

In Fanuc control P/s 10 Alarm is , Improper G code., I.e you are using the G code which are not enabled in option group.
P/s 11 is Feed rate missing , you have not given F command in the program.

After referencing the machine you just follow the below sequence

O0001:
G0 G53 X0 ;
G0 G53 Z0:
G4 X5.:
G0 X-100.:
Z-150:
G4x5.:
G0 X0 Z0 ;
M30:

you test this program for axis movenent in rapid feed, you can alter accordingly.

For MM to INCH conversion you need to change NC parameter also inaddition to changing this in setting page.

Hope you can test the machine now

Good luck

I beg to differ with N.Sachin - Changing the INPUT UNIT in the SETTINGS is all that is required.

i tried changing in the settings page, it wont let me? i turned on my "PWE" to a 1, then tried to change the "inch" to a 1. but it will not change.

what parameter needs to be changed. only one I see that relates to the inch/mm is 63

What series Fanuc control are you using? I change mine with the G20 and G21 code. G20=english, G21=metric. A few odd times I had to use G70=english, G71=metric. Program this in MDI. Make sure your machine is reference returned as my machines want to move to home position before converting the numbers. It does only move if you are actually switching. Ex. if you are in english and you program a G20 machine does not move.

the G20 didnt work either. But i managed to figure it out. i wasnt changing the right parameter. #0001 had to be changed bit "0" had to be a "1" before i could change it on the settings page.

I had a problem with a 10T that the inch mode seemed to be disabled. After trying a bunch of different stuff, I found that parameter 9102 bit 2 (option #3) had to be on to turn parameter 10 bit 1 on.
