Found error msg instead of abort


(MSG, Checking MagPos 02)
M66 P5 L3 Q2 ; Check if mag pos is empty change to L0?
o103 if [#5399 EQ -1]
(MSG, Tool in Magazine! 03)
o103 endif

Now the sequence is stopped properly.

L3 Q2 is wrong here. How many times do I have to tell you that?

I have changed the code in the cnc computer. Copied previous posts here so the error came along.

(MSG, Checking MagPos 02)
M66 P5 L0; Check if mag pos is empty?
o103 if [#5399 EQ 0] "invert signal"
(abort, Tool in Magazine! 03)
o103 endif

Okay then I have misunderstood. Thought it was "carousel.comp" the whole tool change sequence was placed ..
The actual tool change sequence is located in "Toolchanges.ngc"?


In the example, config, yes. It could be handles with classic ladder, or with a Python remap, but anything that requires axis movement or M19 spindle orient is most readily done with a G-code remap.


Is the cited post the correct instructions for implementing the tool change sequence?
I just need to set an output for spindle origination.


I think it is close to what you seem to need.
If your spindle drive controls orient internally then you can use the M19 outputs to control the orient. (ignoring the angle output, just handshaking with spindle.0.orient and spindle.0.is-oriented )


I must have missed something when do a m19. I get no signal to spindle.0.orient .

It looks like it always needs an R number (eg M19 R0) or there is no output.
That might be a bug.

You should probably use a Q number to set a timeout too.

Yes m19 r0 and I got to use pin motion.spindle − orient. Also had to put an OR on the spindle enable signal to activate the spindle with motion.spindle − orient.
Problem now is that as soon as motion.spindle − is − oriented becomes high, the spindle stops orienting

That's intended behaviour. What is driving the is-oriented pin? It probably should be a "finshed" signal from the drive.

Signal come from the drives Spu card

motion.spindle - orient needs to be on whole tool exchange. The output in any case

I don't think that M19 will finish without "oriented" being asserted.

The answer might be to send the orient signal to the drive through a latch. There is a latch called "flipflop" that might work, but I think that oneshot would also work and does not need a clock pulse.

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man9/oneshot.9.html

Make the length long enough for a full toolchange, then assert the reset pin when toolchange is finished.

Is there any advantage to using m19 instead of using M62 - M66 as in the rest of the tool changer sequence?
To control the spindle orient.
