Need Help!- Fanuc 16M + Trig

[KTD1]

Anyone know if the 16M control can do trig?
If so, have any examples?

I have 60 different parts that have angles that need stepped on them. Each slightly different angles in slightly different locations.

I've done this on a Bridgeport DX-32 control but that machine is busy.

Thanks

If you have the User Macro B option, then you can do trig. Try putting this command into a program and see if it alarms out or not:

#101=SIN[1.0] ;


If you have User Macro B, the statement will save the result in macro variable #101. If it alarms out, you probably don't have the option installed.

Entered your command on MDI screen and hit cycle start.
No errors or alarms

Where could I view the macro variables to see if it took?

Press your settings key until you see the local variable page it should list 1-33. Page up and down until you reach #101 this should equal the answer to the Sin of .01745.

I found the screeen and it's there.
Now I need to put the brain in gear and write the program.
Thanks for the help guys.
