post processor for sinumerik 802s

[Anonymous]

 Hello, I needed a post processor for Sinumerik 802S. I read the forum, but nothing helped me. The system will not accept my data, always displaying "DATA ERROR".

[LibertyMachine]

Are you getting these errors with the 802D post processor that is shipped with Fusion?

If you could tell us the difference between the "D" and the "S" control types, we might be able to get you a quick edit to sort you out. 

Does deleting or adding a certain line or block make everything better?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I used the postprocessor for Sinumerik 802D

[LibertyMachine]

Ok, and on what line did it generate an error? Have you done any trouble shooting on your end to determine what the controller WANTS to see versus what it's getting?

[Anonymous]

I tried to modify the code according to advice on the forum, but nothing helped me. On which line the error occurs I do not know, sinumerik will not even accept it, so I can not see it. after transmitting the program, you will see data error and that's all.

[LibertyMachine]

Well, do you have any other program that has been generated with other software or that came with the machine?

[Anonymous]

Yes, there is one program in the memory of the machine that was left behind by the previous owner. I do not use any software other than fusion 360 to generate programs.

[LibertyMachine]

It would seem to me that the next step would be to open up that old program in Notepad or Brackets and do a side by side comparison of the opening and closing lines, see where they diverge. Once you can narrow down what they might be, start modifying the Fusion posted code to be the same and see what does the trick. It's not a quick procedure, but it's also not something we can help you with, unless another user has an 802s control (which I don't think we have anyone that has that style)

Things to look for:

Special characters at any point the program that are not in the other

M or G codes that are not present in the other

Formatting of the program number, presence or abscence or a "O", ":", "%" etc

Do you have the manual for the machine? What does "Data Error" suggest for solutions?

[Anonymous]

I found the manual.

Data errors
1. Files read in with / without leader
or
2. Files transferred in tape format without file name

so I try to modify the program. Do you know any software that could convert code from 802D to 802S? Or if it was not too demanding, would it be possible to modify the 802D post processor?

thank you for your quick support

[LibertyMachine]

Before we edit the post processor, you are going to need to narrow it down further. What is the "leader" that is or is not present?

Sorry, I do not know of any software to convert one file into the other. Siemens is not something I've ever used..

[Anonymous]

Ok, when I correct the code I'll let you know.

I fixed this short program to work. I send the same program twice, the "fixed for 802S" file works. The "802D post-processor" is generated for the 802D version. All changes are at the beginning and the end. Lines can not be numbered.
I can not send the program as a file, so I send it like this. the arrow at the end is in the program as "SUB" in black background.

Do you know if this line is needed:

;$PATH=/_N_MPF_DIR

or is this ok:

; TEST FILE FOR 802S

This would be the program comment in the setup

[Anonymous]

I tested it and $ PATH = / _ N_MPF_DIR did not need to be there.
Lines can be numbered.

the "SUB" tag must also not necessarily be there, it only terminates the transfer from PC to machine, without it being necessary to terminate the transmission manually.

Only the first line is generated commented (;% _N_NAST-RAM_802D_MPF)
just delete comment (% _N_NAST-RAM_802D_MPF)

I tested it on multiple programs and it works.

I tried to send the program about 2500 rows but the transmission did not even start. I pretend that for this I will have to adjust the transfer settings.
I do not think postprocessor will need to be edited to delete the comment. Thank you so much for your support.

Let's give this post a try. I'd changed the first start line and turned off the line numbering.

[Anonymous]

It works. Thank you for your help.
