Can you copy and post the first part of it?

Just the top part of the program from the control??

Turn on Single Block (if you haven't already done that) and step through the program until it stops and see what is on the line it stops at.

My manual says invalid address format is: "An address A....Z was used improperly". Which is not very helpful.

You might have a decimal on a number that should be an integer, such as L2. or something similar.

Ok, I have an alarm at:
N150 M03 F12. S6921. ;

This code was generated by OneCNC XR4

You have a decimal on the speed command, should be an integer.

Ok, got another one
N170 G00 G43 Z300. H07 D07

I wonder I improperly posted this program in OneCNC, gonna go check it...

LOL, yea I screwed up!
Will reload and single block this one.
(Note to self: I'm a dork!)

Z300., is your ceiling that tall? Well, the machine can't go that high anyway.

If you are calling for a G41 or G42 in your in your program, the tool offset goes in the program body during a straight line move. Where you put you D07 is where I put my M08.

No offence but after reading all your posts and questions and some answers, My Suggestion is you buy a book on gcode better yet just goto haas and down load there training manual, then read it 2-3 times., if you dont understand it pull the power from your machine until you do.
Your going to cause yourself alot of grief and cost with screwing up.

ALSO DUMP YOUR CAD CAM PROGRAM Untill you learn what g codes it.
your cadcam program aint going to help you a bit if you dont have a clue what the feeds and speeds are or what g code is.

WRITE programs by hand UNTIL you are comfortable, then play with the cadcam stuff, your going way to fast and not grasping the concept.

BTW if you had a minus 300 in your program you could have destroyed your machine. Luckly the machine saw the number ( another reason NOT to screw with parameters unless you know what your doing).

what I am getting at is you didnt know enough to see that, that 300 number was wrong. what if the program had -4 or -5 inchs how would you know if it was good, you wouldnt have gotten an alarm and posibly destroyed your machine.


TURN THE POWER OFF READ ON PROGRAMMING and G CODE. and pull the plug from your CADCAM PC.

Again not trying to be nasty just stating facts and trying to save you a ton of money caused by your screwups.

Hang in there Luke. But, I would run the program in simulation mode before any program you run.

The benefit to learning the write by hand is that you are able to monitor the program as it runs. I have run programs written by others and have hit the panic button often just before the crash came.
