Tom,

Both my PDB and ATC want to move the Z axis to the home position before doing their thing. I currently do this in my PDB program using:

MDI("G1 G53 Z0.0");

For a manual toolchange in a G-code program, I typically do:

...
(USR, Load Tool #3)
M00
...

I then manually invoke my PDB program, which does the above G53, then uses a few outputs and the B axis to grab/release the tool. I then hit "Start" to continue the G-code program. But, since I added the G53s, when I hit Start, the G-code program resets, and starts from the beginning again.

So, how can I move to the Home position, WITHOUT causing the interpreter to re-start from the beginning of the program? Oddly, I can manually move to that position, using MDI to move to the corresponding position in work coordinates. But the PDB and ATC program have no way of knowing what the work coordinate position corresponding to Home is.

Regards,
Ray L.

Hi Ray,
 
If you want to move to an absolute position in machine coordinates like 0.0 from KFLOP then wouldn't be easier to just command a Move(2,0.0)  from KFLOP?

Tom,

Yes, I can do that. But a more generic question might be: WHY is the interpreter throwing up its hands? Suppose I wanted to do a move in work coordinates? How can I do it without the interpreter getting upset? It seems odd to me that I can jog with my pendant, and it causes no problems. Why does doing a move in a DSP program cause the interpreter to want to re-start the program?

Regards,
Ray L.
