G90 and G91, no difference

[itbonde]

Hi

I have a Midwell with FANUC O-M controller.

In MDI-mode I run:

G90 G00 X10 Y10

Instead of moving absolute it's moving incremental, there is no difference if I run with G91.

Which parameters can affect this?

Thanks!

Have you tried putting the G90 or G91 on a line by itself? ... like this :

G90
G00 X10.00 Y10.0
G91
G00 X10.00 Y10.00

... I have seen this resolve the issue many times.

Yes. That gives the same result.

This is from the MDI Operation section of the 0M-C/D manual.


In MDI operation, the setting (absolute) determines whether the
commands are absolute or incremental. The G code (G90/G91) is
ignored.

So, go to the Settings screen and set Absolute to 0 or 1 depending on which mode you want.
