Program file not found fanuc

[britovsekmatic128]

Hello,

i am having problems when calling fusion 360 made programs as subprograms.

for example:

;
M98 P0323;
;

i get an error 310 file not found (fanuc 31i)
but if i copy the said program in the control and rename it O0323 it works(see attached pictures)

Thanks.

I never tried sub programs: Were are you running them from?

This random video I found states that you cannot have a file extension if you are drip feeding from the memory card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-IWkVgdtCo

The next question is? Can the main program and the sub program be stored on the same folder? Would be interested if you got it running.

It obviously needs to be stored as a file Name "O-scar"xxxx in the directory.

The P-call is "P"xxxx in the main program.

I never tried if a 3 digit Program number is accepted?

Hi @timo_gross 

i am running the programs from data server which i think is a 4gb upgrade from fanuc but i also tried in the "original" memory but i get the same problem, yes they are in the same folder.

I also havent tried with the 3 numbers but im pretty sure that wont work.

Thanks

Did you check the file extension the video mentions. My computer is posting the files as xxxx.nc and they run from the card, but the guy says to use them as sub program the .nc must be deleted otherwise it will not find it.

In fusion 360 the line "NC extension" cannot be changed.

Did you try deleting the .nc?

Yeah i saw the video and it says it cannot be a file extension for a sub but doesn't explain how to change it.
On my pc the program is simply called 1001, under details it says it is saved as .nc file but i dont know how to change this🤔

Open the folder in File explorer. On my Windows there are four tabs on top.

"File" "Home" "share" and "View". Click on View.

There is a check box "file name extensions" that must be checked.

Then just right-klick on the filename, press rename and delete the .nc
