Here good instructions, which i found few years ago.

1. Put the machine in MDI mode
2. Hit "Para/Diagn" button and find PWE. The "Para/diagn" button is right under the "Position" button. (para meaning parameter)Make sure your not in Diag, you need to be in Parameters.
3. You need to turn "PWE=1" I believe it's one page up once you hit para button to find PWE. You'll get an Alarm as soon at you turn PWE on, but it's ok.
4. Then change parameter 10 bit 4 to unprotect the 9000 series programs.
(note this bit could be in different place, its marked NE9)
5. While you have the programs unprotected, back them up!!!
6. Once the programs are unprotected , y have to make that toolchange programs and put in correct number. Y will find somewhere whas the prg number.
Program should be something like this (this is not correct, look from manuals)
G00G30X0.Y0.Z0. (tool change position)
M19(spindle orientation)
pot down
unclamp
tool arm rotate to grap tools
tool arm down
tool arm rotate
tool arm up
clamp
toolarm rotate to neutral
pot up
7. Put parameter 10.4 back to where it was and turn off the PWE

PS86 is an alarm when trying to communicate with the machine via RS232. So I am confused on when you are getting the alarm. When trying to load the macro program? You make it sound like you are getting the alarm when programming an M6.

Do you have the original macro program from the machine?

So IOW you don’t have a tool change macro in the machine memory and when you try to load it from a PC it alarms out with PS86? And anytime you run a program in the control and it sees an M6 the control alarms out with a different alarm?

Can you tell me the settings of the following parameters? 220 thru 229, 230 thru 239 and 240-242

I reread your post and what I am now getting out of it is if you are sending a program via RS232 from a PC to the control it will alarm out with PS86 if there is a M6 inside the program but if you send a program that does not have a M6 then it will load the whole program with no alarm??
