Subject: Gcode Execution Issue

Hi Tom,

I have something unusual going on with a gcode program.

The program includes an M102 program to change tools...

#include "KMotionDef.h"

main()
{

    ClearBit(42);

    Delay_sec(1.0);

    EnableAxis(2);
    while (!CheckDone(2));

    EnableAxis(3);
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    MoveRelAtVel(3,15500.0,5000.0);
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    MoveRelAtVel(2,8333.0,3000.0);           // 2 pos'n
    while (!CheckDone(2));

    MoveRelAtVel(3,-16500.0,4000.0);           // lower jack
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    DisableAxis(2);
    DisableAxis(3);

    Delay_sec(0.5);

    SetBit(42);
}

This M102 is near the end of the program...

...

G1 X6.42287 Y5.53505
G1 X6.39782 Y5.50244
G1 X6.29443 Y5.29784
G0 X6 Y0.5
M5 (turn spindle off)
M102 (change turret back to roller #2)
M30 (rewind program)

but doesn't seem to execute fully when it is embedded in the gcode. If I enter the M102 into the screen window and "send" it the program runs fine. When it is within the gcode program it seems to miss the 2 position move for axis 2. Because the system is open loop there is no feedback that the motion has completed. Even stranger is if this M code is placed higher up in the gcode it seems to execute just fine. Would there be some kind of conflict between the M102 and the M30 rewind commands?

Thanks for your help,

David.

Have you set the M102 program to "wait and sync"? Otherwise, the g-code will maybe end before the M102 has finished.

Hi David,

Do you have the Actions configured to Exec/wait/Sync before going on to the next command?

Are you using different Threads for the Actions?

Which Axes are in your Defined Coordinate System?

Why are you disabling and enabling the Axes?

Minor note: EnableAxis is immediate and there is no need to wait for anything to be "Done". But it will not cause a problem to do so.

Hi Tom,

Where do I find the Actions configuration?

The actions are in different threads.

The 2 axis in this movement are not defined in the coordinate system.

The enable/disable was used for testing purposes to reset position counts to zero.

I wasn't sure if there was some delay regarding the enable command.

Thanks for your help,
David.

Yes, if axes move independently (via your M102) you need to exec+wait+sync so the interpreter doesn't continue to run with the wrong info. The interpreter keeps its own idea of where the machine is, so you need to update it if anything changes outside its knowledge.

Hi Tom,

I have something unusual going on with a gcode program.

The program includes an M102 program to change tools...

#include "KMotionDef.h"

main()
{

    ClearBit(42);

    Delay_sec(1.0);

    EnableAxis(2);
    while (!CheckDone(2));

    EnableAxis(3);
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    MoveRelAtVel(3,15500.0,5000.0);
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    MoveRelAtVel(2,8333.0,3000.0);           // 2 pos'n
    while (!CheckDone(2));

    MoveRelAtVel(3,-16500.0,4000.0);           // lower jack
    while (!CheckDone(3));

    DisableAxis(2);
    DisableAxis(3);

    Delay_sec(0.5);

    SetBit(42);
}

This M102 is near the end of the program...

...

G1 X6.42287 Y5.53505
G1 X6.39782 Y5.50244
G1 X6.29443 Y5.29784
G0 X6 Y0.5
M5 (turn spindle off)
M102 (change turret back to roller #2)
M30 (rewind program)

but doesn't seem to execute fully when it is embedded in the gcode. If I enter the M102 into the screen window and "send" it the program runs fine. When it is within the gcode program it seems to miss the 2 position move for axis 2. Because the system is open loop there is no feedback that the motion has completed. Even stranger is if this M code is placed higher up in the gcode it seems to execute just fine. Would there be some kind of conflict between the M102 and the M30 rewind commands?

Thanks for your help,

David.

I changed the Action as suggested and it cured the issue. Thanks again for your help.

BTW, the new screen editor is really cool! Thanks for that too.

Best regards,
David.
