System information

SECTION FOUR - PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS (G CODES)
Force Error (G997)
G997 (Forces a 408 Y axis excess error to be displayed. Y axis does not cause an
excess error, it only displays the error).
G998 will cause the speaker to beep if a speaker is installed.
Forces an error code to be displayed.
Error code generated is round (parameter #1).
Example:
P1=408
Note: P1=0 will not produce an error.
All valid error codes on the control are between 1 and 999.
Beep (G998)
Custom G codes
Custom G codes can be created to execute a user-defined cycle such as a nonexistent drilling
cycle. To setup the new custom G code, first create a text program (numbered from 9010 to
9019) that defines the new G code. Next, enter the number of the new custom code in the F3
(Power) parameter section after the newly created text program.
The text program for the custom G code can reside in the RAM directory or parts directory. The
program in the RAM directory holds precedence over the program in the parts directory. If you
call any custom M or G code from within a custom code, it will execute its normal function. If a
syntax error exists in a custom code, the following window will appear upon power-up.
Example: Set F3 (Power) parameter custom G code O9014 to 005, and enter
program into C:/RAM/O9014.
Each time you execute a G5 it is similar to a call to C:/RAM/O9014.
A three-digit number can be used to identify the newly created custom code. See page 41,
Section 2 on custom M and G codes.
