    What's PMCDGN?

    The 0-M Maintenance manual page 457 says "Check the following signal using the PMC's diagnostic function (PMCDGN)" but it doesn't explain how, and the signals it lists (param X1008#4) doesn't exist in the DIAGNOSTIC screens, our top one is *0799

    How do I run PMCDGN and get the X1008 and G0008 parameters on screen please?

    PMCDIAG -> STATUS Shows real time, the status of .

    X - MTB to PLC Inputs
    Y - PLC to MTB Outputs

    G - PLC to NC Inputs
    F - NC to PLC Outputs

    K - PLC User Customisable Switches
    T - PLC Timers
    R - PLC Relays
    C - PLC Counters
    A - PLC MTB Alarms

    plus a few others not really necessary to know about

    PMCDIAG - Trace

    allows more of diagnostic function capturing the status change of a signal

    I do believe you have the direction reversed.

    Thank you guys. My reason for asking is we are still trying to fix our MPG and tool carousel problems in my other post, after losing the CNC params and 9001 macro and we don't know what else, on bad advice - no backups are available! Any tips you can give are very welcome!

    To see the 1000 and higher addresses you should to add 2000
    For instance, your X1008 is 3008 diagnostic parameter

    How to find G008 I don't know
    nothing to say under this line
