Fanuc Panel Keys

Address keys The area of the MDI keypad that allows an operator to enter letters and special characters into the control. ALARM keys Keys located on the machine panel that display alarm information for the machine panel. These keys are different from the alarm keys associated with the control panel. AUTO key The key on the CNC machine that changes the operation mode to auto. Auto mode allows an operator to call up and execute a part program stored in memory. Auto mode is sometimes called memory mode on some CNC controls. AUTO mode The mode that allows an operator to call up and execute a part program stored in the machine. AUX/GRAPH A function key located on the MDI keypad that displays the graphics screen. Axis/direction keys The area of the machine control that allows...

Programing standards for Variables

Now that we have defined functionality, we need to set some standards with regards to the macro programming. The first thing to consider is the variable table. You have four (4) types of variables:Local Variables: These variables are local to the program. Normally used to transfer values to a cycle call, or as intermediate mathematical value holders. I hate using local variables because of one major issue with them. They are reset to null (not 0) when the control is reset or the program ends. While perfectly fine for use in transferring variables to canned cycles, etc. They can get you in trouble if you use them for other things. I, just by policy, never use them for anything. In Fanucese, these are typically #100-#499 (if you have that many available). Local variables are only available to...

Macro Programming Fundamentals

Macro programming is a useful tool for most any CNC machine shop, whether a one man garage or an international conglomerate. Macro programming provides a means of shortening code and doing repetitive tasks easily and quickly. All of your canned cycles in a control are nothing but a macro. Macro is also extremely useful for families of parts.All computer programming is on a fundamental level, very similar. The syntax of the commands, and purpose of the programming may change, but the fundamentals of how to approach it, how logic works, and program flow are pretty much the same.The first step to any programming is to define the _functionality_ required of the program. Functionality is defined as the end result(s) and abilities expected of the computer code. In other words, what is it supposed...
