    Thumbs down System Variables Fanuc 11m

    Does anyone know, off the top of thier head the system variables where the current X, Y, Z and B axis locations are recorded on the Fanuc 11? Currently we are programming a B axis rotation in each sub-program, because I dont have a way to check it's current position, it is just a lot of extra wear on the machine, and extra time that the machine is not making chips. FYI this is a rotary 1 degree table, not the full fourth axis.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    They start at variable #5001.
    Do you have the programming manual?

    Al,

    I do, but it is the Toyoda version of the manual, I have not been able to find those variables. I would love to find a full listing.

    Thanks for your help...I am assuming they run:

    5001 is X
    5002 is Y
    5003 is Z
    5004 is B

    My last post wasnt entirely accurate, they do give a list of general catagories of system variables, but nothing specific enough to be useful
