One of the most powerful combinations of programming functions is found in the typical Fanuc use of G65 to pass information into "nests" and use system, common, and local variable table contents for a multitude of tasks to make machining safer and more productive.
I have taken a keen interest in the home CNC possibilities. The Mach system looks to be the best option for me except that, the last time I checked, G65 was a function that is not currently available. Any chance that "nesting" of variable tables and G65 capabilities being developed?
A co-worker and I have written some awesome macro's that have been the reason for stopping wreck after wreck and preventing baskets of scrap parts. The key to much of the capabilities of the logic we used is the ability to pass information and execute a sub routine from the same line using G65. Simply passing information into variables is not enough. The key to creating safety features is in the ability to execute and pass information together. The reason? When you start on a line intended as a safe start line, and there is more than one line required to get the logic to work there is a really good chance that someone will pick the wrong line when they perform a restart.
