Subprogram Problems

[frogger]

Hi,

I'm having a few problems with my posted subprograms code.
It will run the P1 but when it gets to P2 the error says that the subprogram is not in memory. I'm using an Ethernet connection if that makes any difference? 2002 VF-1

Code below, thanks

Looking at your code I cannot understand why it runs P1 because you are using M98 P1 which is a call to a completely separate program.

If you change the M98 to M97 that program should run.


Question: Do you have a program named O00001 in memory?

[dcoupar]

Your subs are labeled 1 and 2. They should be O1 and O2 (separate programs) if you're going to use M98, and N1 and N2 if you're going to use M97.

As was previously stated you should use M97 and "N" in front of the subprogram number. I corrected it, see bold text. Antoher tip I would offer is to try and match the subprogram number with the tool number. If you have a lot of subs, you can easier reference them by doing this.
You should also think about using // in front of the second sub call so you can use block delete to run the sub only once in case there are errors in the program.

That worked a treat.

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm still working on trying to get Subprograms working. Just had a new VF-3SS delivered and we're setting up for multiple work offsets. Can someone take a look at the code below and tell me if there is an obvious problem.
Thanks,

M99
%

It's not clear if you are putting the main program and the two subroutines into the same file or as three different files in the mamory (because the % sign appearing only once). If you are using the three sequences in the same file, the solution is the same then before (replace M98 by M97 code ande the subprogram names O0001 and O0002 by N0001 and N0002).
Using this way (local subroutines instead of external subroutines) is always a good choice for testing about such these problems.

Good Luck!

I've just ran your code downhere at HFO and found no problems with the structure (only some alarms related to circle interpolation coordinates).
I used 3 different files.

If the problem persists, please post or e-mail me. caue.nascimento@bol.com.br

Thanks for your help,

I stopped using the post I was trying and instead used Transform toolpath (Mastercam) with my old post. Worked fine. I do understand about the separate programs needing to be on memory now and they do separate when I copy them from Net Share to memory. I'm on a steep learning curve right now and I do appreciate your patience.

Thanks to all.
