M4000==4

x500 z600F50

M4000==5

[Programmatically detect which and where a CS program is running]

I tried to use a P variable to find out which block is running but it always shows 6 blocks ahead of actual block executing motion.

 

ie

P2000=1

x1 y1

P2000=2

x4 z8

P2000=3

x30 y30

[configuring GeoBrick]

In GeoBrick, without the use of GeoBrick drive setup utility the axis motor do not get moving. What parameters does this utility setup.

Can we setup motors without the use of GeoBrick setup application. What procedure is to be followed?

[M variable definition]

Does defining more M variables eats more PMAC time or the number of M variables doesn't matter.
