Send g-code from HSM INVENTOR EDIT

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 08:44:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a problem to connect with the port

I have a Nport 5110 moxa and I am using Nport Administrator.

When I try to send the gcode from Hsm edit transmission, I always have this message : Impossible to open the port

I dont really know how can I solve this problem ?

Does anyone have an idea how can I deal with this issue please ?

I had the same issue setting up our 5110.

I had to change the Nports IP-adress to something within our network setup.

By default it had a weird IP, it doesn't look at the DHCP server.

So this box:

Hello @Laurens-3DTechDraw

Thank you very much for your precious help. I solved the problem which exists between the computer and the nport 5110, but still have the problem between machine and Moxa Nport 5110. The machine does not receive the G-code ( my machine is emcotronic tm02 turning)

I think maybe there is a little problem with my g-code, can you tell please how can I have a width : 4 for the sequence number ? ( I mean that instead of N00 G00 X20 Z30, I want to have N0000 G00 X20 Z30 )

How can I modify that in my post processor please ?

Thank you again for your help and your responses.

Your machine control is pretty picky from what I experienced.

This comes out of a postprocessor I make for a customer with an Emco 240

Exactly ! That s the right g - code that I need to have, after all the modifications I did on the PP of fanuc turning , I succeed to have a gcode similar to this one.

Don't you have an idea about how can I modify the width of the sequence number " N " in the PProcessor ?

Thank you again for your help.

var numFormat = createFormat({width:(4), zeropad:true, decimals:0});//Programformat

function writeBlock() {
  if (properties.showSequenceNumbers) {
    if (optionalSection) {
      var text = formatWords(arguments);
      if (text) {
        writeWords("/", "N" + numFormat.format(sequenceNumber), text);

What was the issue between the PC and the NPORT 5110?

If you post the solution here others can benefit from it as well.

I highly doubt that you need a 4digit number. But you could make that.

Is some work in the post, so I would advise on first trying it by manually adding the numbers to your code and see if the machine takes it like that.

Hi @Laurens-3DTechDraw

The problem between the computer and the Nport 5110 is solved when I entered the parameters in the web console moxa (online), and I deleted the software Nport administrator, I kept just Nport driver manager.

Right now I am doing the tests, I succeed in sending just the number like 95 08 ... to the machine but not the letters like N G S T ...

I read the first line in the screen of my machine like this : O 1001 then I have a error message : 600 bad order of entrance.

I contacted the society from where I got the machine and they send a gcode that I succeed to read in my machine (letters and numbers without any message error)

Do you have an idea please of the source of the problem or how can I deal with it ?

Hello @ArjanDijk

Yeah it is not easy to succeed in sending code the machine, but I have no choice, we need to use to finish some projects.

As I told your collegue, now I am doing the tests, I succeed in sending just the number like 95 08 ... to the machine but not the letters like N G S T ...

I have a error message : 600 bad order of entrance. (after the first line)

I contacted the society from where I bought the machine and they send a g-code that I succeed to receive in my machine without any error message.

I really dont know how to deal with that, even when I tap by the keyboard the letters, they are not read by the machine and the send operation. Do you have an idea how can I deal with that? I changed the ASCII in the PP, I put ISO instead, but nothing has changed 😞

@Laurens-3DTechDraw @ArjanDijk

Just to share here with you the solution of the issue I had with the letters in my gcode, I contacted the company and they helped me with that. In fact the solution was to add a space after the number of the program, which is not visible but we must have it so that the machine can receive the whole code without a problem. I added it just by keyboard in the blocnotes

How can I please add the space after the number of the code in the post processor please? and how can I have the number of the code in the same line as % ?

like that : %1111space

Thank you for your attention

I expect there is this or very similar in your post:

  writeln("%");
 
  if (programName) {
    var programId;
    try {
      programId = getAsInt(programName);
    } catch(e) {
      error(localize("Program name must be a number."));
      return;
    }
    if (properties.o8) {
      if (!((programId >= 1) && (programId <= 99999999))) {
        error(localize("Program number is out of range."));
        return;
      }
    } else {
      if (!((programId >= 1) && (programId <= 9999))) {
        error(localize("Program number is out of range."));
        return;
      }
    }
    if ((programId >= 8000) && (programId <= 9999)) {
      warning(localize("Program number is reserved by tool builder."));
    }
    oFormat = createFormat({width:(properties.o8 ? 8 : 4), zeropad:true, decimals:0});
    if (programComment) {
      writeln("O" + oFormat.format(programId) + " (" + filterText(String(programComment).toUpperCase(), permittedCommentChars) + ")");
    } else {
      writeln("O" + oFormat.format(programId));
    }
    lastSubprogram = programId;
  } else {
    error(localize("Program name has not been specified."));
    return;
  }

Change that to:

  if (programName) {
    var programId;
    try {
      programId = getAsInt(programName);
    } catch(e) {
      error(localize("Program name must be a number."));
      return;
    }
    if (properties.o8) {
      if (!((programId >= 1) && (programId <= 99999999))) {
        error(localize("Program number is out of range."));
        return;
      }
    } else {
      if (!((programId >= 1) && (programId <= 9999))) {
        error(localize("Program number is out of range."));
        return;
      }
    }
    if ((programId >= 8000) && (programId <= 9999)) {
      warning(localize("Program number is reserved by tool builder."));
    }
    oFormat = createFormat({width:(properties.o8 ? 8 : 4), zeropad:true, decimals:0});
      writeln("%" + oFormat.format(programId) + " ");
    lastSubprogram = programId;
  } else {
    error(localize("Program name has not been specified."));
    return;
  }

Hi @Laurens-3DTechDraw

I am still working on the modification of my post processor for my machine emco tm02.

I used the PP for Fanuc Turning and I did all the modifications.

Today by doing the tests, I discovered that I have a problem with the function of tapping cycle G33 ( or G84 with Fanuc turning).

For my machine I dont have the same parameters, so I need to have a code as this one :

T0606

G97 S250 M03

G00 X0 Z10

G00 Z2

G33 X0 Z-14 F1000

G33 X0 Z2 F1000 M04 <-- Z2 : is the distance of retraction

G00 X50 Z20

M30

For the second line of G33 I did not know how to define this distance of retraction in the post processor, this example of code I did it manually.

Can you please help me ?

thank you for your attention and your precious help

Hello @Laurens-3DTechDraw

Thanks for your response, well I tried to fix a distance of z=2 in my PP so the problem is solved.

Now I have a new issue with my machine which still send me alarms when I transfer the program (gcode)

In fact I need to delete the lines in the start of the program :

%
( 1001 )
( T05 - ZMIN=-11. - FRAISE BOUT PLAT )
( T15 - ZMIN=-19.305 - PERAGE )
( T17 - ZMIN=-3. - FORET CENTRER )
( T18 - ZMIN=-0.1 - FRAISE CHANFREINER )

N20 G47
( PERCAGE )

N120 G47

Well I must not have the N10 N15 N20, how can I modify that in the PP

Attached you are going to find my PP

Thank you so much, I am waiting a response from you

Have a good day
