Eyewonder Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I have a small lathe set up, and am able to to jog, home axes using Adv600 control panel, but do not fully understand how the MDI & buffer operate. I first home the X & Z axes. I enter 'S400 M03' (on separate lines) into the edit window, click the 'Write to Buffer' command button, then push the 'Cycle Start' button. Spindle rotates as expected. If I then enter 'Z1.5' (just some move to verify operation) into the edit window, as soon as I click the 'Write to Buffer' command button, it kills the spindle rotation. Pushing the 'Cycle Start' button causes the Z to move, as expected. Is this 'normal' operation for this software? BTW, this was using the v2.36 software, NOT the v2.36(1) 4 program changes. I enabled buffer logging and got these results: Into Auto or Mdi Mode Sun Aug 17 20:45:20 2014 input -> S400 output -> BSTARTM167=1 F5.0 CCR 0.000000 M158=0G49.0H0.000000X0.000000Z0.000000DWE0NRM K-1 G17.0 G0.0ABS G90.1G98.0G20.0G49.0G97.0G54.0X0.000000Z0.000000DWE0S400M26==400DWE0BSTOP input -> M03 output -> BSTARTM167=2 M3.000DWELL4STOPBSTOP input -> G00 Z1.5 output -> BSTARTM165==1M167=0 G0.0Z1.5 DWELL4STOPBSTOP Shutting Down Logging Sun Aug 17 20:46:51 2014 Cheers, Steve
steve.milici Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Yes this is normal operation - it is done as a safety precaution.
