[18i-MB] not allowing custom g-codes over 100 (or 3 digits)

[gwarble]

hey all

i'm looking for the parameter that is limiting two of my machines from allowing a custom g-code with a value over 100, or a g-code with more than 2 digits...

i know this is possible on all fanucs i've used, back to at least a 0-m&t, as well as a different MTB's Fanuc 18i-MB (same control)... the only difference i know about these machines (two identical machines, Hardinge VMC 1000 XP3, with Fanuc 18i-MBs) is this:

they have "embedded macro" option installed and in use...

if you think you can help, here is the normal stuff i've checked to save you some time:

A custom macro defined as G88 works fine, using param 6051 set to "88" and program o9011 as the custom macro...
using param 6051 = "101" gives me "alarm 078 - number not found"

and for "embedded macro" params, 12014 (or so) and forward... its locking out programs 8500 thru 9003 for hardinge's custom screen and tool change macro, but its not using any g-codes in the following parameters, or any other reason this would be interefering with a normal custom macro g-code

Also, m-codes work fine in both macro mode and subprogram mode, and of any value (2 or three digits, params 6060+), and i've seen the param for "number of digits for m-code" but not for g-code

i'm able to create the proper 90XX program and everything...

thanks for any help

a little more info:

something is blocking those g#s, and its not the number of digits...
g9999 works as expected, and g101-g999 seem to be overridden by some other params or the ladder or something because a few different random g-codes gives a few different custom error messages (#300X with messages like "divide by zero" and "incorrect cutting conditions")

I also have the same problem, I get a 078 alarm when using the EZ Guide i option. You may find something helpful on this link.

Check param.
6050=? call program O9010
6051=? call program O9011
6052=? call program O9012
6053=? call program O9013
6054=? call program O9014
6055=? call program O9015
6056=? call program O9016
6057=? call program O9017
6058=? call program O9018
6059=? call program O9019

My parameters look like this.


6050=300
6051=301
6052=350
6053=0
6054=0
6055=500
6056=600
6057=700
6058=800
6059=900

mroy, i think that link is on the right track...

mine were all 0's from the factory (6050-6059)
but without changes MDI'ing "G123" gives "078 number not found" and g101 gives "3006 incorrect cutting conditions"
