now i believe you still have to restart spindle, coolant on etc if u stop them. especially if u press reset which would dump the buffer and active gcodes. so still need to use MDI in some cases. jog in and out to safe place and back to area that is good place to start from depending on situation. i believe hass and heidenhein has a way to do this too but im not sure ins and outs fully some say its ment to work alot better than fanucs way even on 30 controls. question is can they do in EIA/ISO traditional GCode mode like Ted had commented on outlined in his mazak mazatrol control with problems u can find etc. above EMC can already do in a form , restart from line and take a straight line there but user must reset spindle, coolant, offset/cutter comp etc etc now what you are all asking for (as has been many times over i believe) is one where the operator just does what ever, switch's back to the program picks the line and off he goes nothing else needed EMC would need a way to keep all model codes active when in manual and MDI mode when stopped (maybe a suspend mode) a way to reapply new tool hight and tool cutter comp if changed check if current tool loaded is correct one? maybe not the case if we picked a new tool out the tool library/carousel thats the same. but if its not bad things will happen. assume a straight line move is ok (all 5+ axis can move at once back to there restart point/position? again is this ok or is my 5th axis going to wipe out my new tool and part. what about any IOs the machine may rely upon before the restart point, do you skip them hope for the best or do you obey them and wait for them to complete again ok some of the above you would hope the operator knew what he was doing and would pick a "safe" restart point get machine ready to restart in away but never is the case with such a restart i would feel. its all swings and roundabouts i feel(if so why the above restart type?) EMC does not just drive CNC mills and lathes its array of arsenal is vast in machine types/configs. they all have to be thought of also at the end of the day if u want to do it with RS274/NGC gcode a compromise may have to come some where but im sure theres away some how. rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
