Cycle time reset

Postby Ruslan » Mon Mar 11, 2024 12:22 pm

I suggest to reset cycle time field each time new program starts. Now it is counting from first cycle start to resetting it by user. The algorithm is: User started new program -> cycle counter is resetting to zero and begining to count, during Feed hold it is paused and after program stop(M30) it stops to count.

I just call a macro in my first line of Gcode in my case M1281
($Toolplate)
(T20 D=6. CR=0. - ZMIN=-12.3 - flat end mill)
(T28 D=6. CR=0. TAPER=45deg - ZMIN=-1.7 - chamfer mill)
M132 ($Toolplate.png)
M1281 reset timer
G90
G0 G53 Z-5.

and the M1281 macro in my case is below
{
// Reset Cycle time
exec.Callbutton(218);
return;
}

Thanks, but it is not universal method. I need to put this macro in all my programs. I can change postprocessor to put this macro but I think it would be good to have additional macro that can be called at start of NC program. User can do something at program start. As construcor/deconstructor macros, but for program start and program end. It can be new feature.

If you dont want to add it to your post procesor like I did you can create a button on screen to call the macro at any time.

or alternatively you can enter M#### into mdi and it will do it.
