Hello,
I have a "run forever" C program that starts and runs continuously as long as I don't run a G code program. The C program still runs as long as the G code is running or if I stop the G code with the Cycle Stop button. The C program stops running when the G code finishes running. The portion of the C program I'm concerned with is the part that is flashing the output. How do I get this loop to continue forever?

See attached.

Thank you.

Hi AZ,

What Thread is the C Program Configured to run in? It should normally be Thread #1 as it is the only Thread not stopped on EStop.

Do you have any other Action configured to run in that Thread? Running a C Program in a Thread will kill any program currently running in that Thread.

Please post your Tool Setup Screens.

See attached photos. The C program is running in thread #3. I see where there are other C programs called by Mcodes and user buttons calling that same thread (#3) but I'm not activating those. I'm just running the G code program until it stops. Is there still some interference there?

Hi AZ,

M2 causes the Program Stop and automatically turns off the Spindle by calling the M5 Action which you have set to use Thread #3.
