Brains Development / Re: Trying to get DRO data to my PLC via TCP MODBUS-Help Please??

it is not a Problem of your Formular, because it only seperates Digits before comma and after.
and because it it done in integer Registers there are no leading zeroes.


depending on the missing leading zeroes you have to put both seperated values togehter into a real
Register on the S7/200.

and then diplay the real value on MMI

i have added a example how i would do it.

Works in progress / Re: Show first line of G-Code

if you are talking about Mach3, a Label with Content File will Show you the filename of loaded program.
i do not know about a possibilty to Show only the first line of gcode, except your create a VBScript witch is
used every time you load a new file, this will only work with a button on Screen, not with Standard menue load file.

ok understand now your machine. in this case it is a "clasic" Manual tool Change.

the sequence would be for example.

at the beginning of a Job you put in lets say Tool1.
then you press a button on your Screen and Tool1 (lenght) will be measured via touch plate.
then you set manualy workpiece Z to Zero at the top of your surface.

now every time your GCode reaches a tool Change (M6Txx) machine will go to a specific Position
, you Change your tool, press start and machine will measure the lenght of new tool and go ahead
with the actual Job.

therefore machine must be referenced (best via reference Switch on each axis), so that machine coordinates
are allways (after each new Startup) the same.this is necessary to be able to drive to the defined tool Change
Position and to the touch plate.
