I would have said it was more incorrect and misleading than out of date. And the fellows claim of DNC as being a "feature" is laughable. I work with Fanuc controls all day, DNC isn't a "feature" it is a band-aid work-around for the controls limited memory, and a huge pain in the ass to have to work around to. Did you know many of Fanuc's custom macros features don't work in DNC or that you can't run a sub program unless either it or the main program are stored in the machine memory. The list of Fanuc DNC limitations goes on and on. The only thing more annoying then trying to use the DNC, is trying to load/unload programs into the machine memory all the time.
And tool compensation isn't any easier to use or more or less functional in Fanuc than it is in Linuxcnc. As far as I know all the same rules need (or should) be followed. And code compatibility is also a joke. Our shop has 3 different Fanuc control models (11m, 21i, and oi-MB) in the shop on 7 machines from 4 different manufacturers, and the code for each manufacturer's machines are incompatible with all the others. There are some basic similarities, but for the most part the code I run on our Linuxcnc machines is no more different from the code for one of our Fanuc controlled machines than our Fanuc controlled machines are from each other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Caroline" <[email protected]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2016 9:33:11 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Haas thoughts That is very out of date, LinuxCNC having branching etc in the gcode as well as rigid tapping, read the docs for real info not random websites Dave Caroline ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
