Fanuc Oi MC Helical interpolation

[chrisryn]

I need help getting my control to do a helical move. For some reason what I have throws an alarm. Does anyone know the correct syntax for helical on this control?

Edit: I was wrong it is a Oi-MC not mate.

Of course you will need to provide your safety lines, tool change, offsets etc. Try running this in your simulator in manual guide i, ie hit the graph button to enter this mode. If it still alarms out it may be an option that was not included with your controller. The one we have is the Oi-MC not the mate, it works in ours, but I seem to remember that the mates had helical interpolation as an option. Hope this helps.

Did you try the code that I gave you? It should work, works on ours.
