Hello people, can someone help me with this message?
 "Art Code: 8877."
 What does it mean?
 Where can I get an error table?

Thanks

NEMO

Only Art will know what that means I suspect. I will see if he will look in and reply.

Art says possibly an error with your MPG control. He said the error means that the last successfull thing run as MPGControl..not necessarily that the erro r is there.
Hood

Art said to see if selecting shuttle mode changes the error.

Hi Hood
I have a macro like this below , where the error  (Art Code:8877) occurs when changing the value of INPUT1.
Can you see anything wrong?

Thanks

Nemo

*************************
Dim Value as boolean

Value = IsActive(INPUT1)
   

   If Value = True Then
         Code "(Ativado)"
         Code "M8"
         Code "G04 P2.5"
         Code "M9"
         Code "G04 P1"   
              Code "(            )"

      Else

   Do
   Value = IsActive(INPUT1)
   If Value = False then
      Code "(Pneumatico Desativado)"
   Else
         Code "(Ativado)"
         Code "M8"
         Code "G04 P2.5"
         Code "M9"
         Code "G04 P1"   
              Code "(            )"

      Exit Do
   End If
   Loop
    End If
Exit Sub

I dont seem to have a problem with that code when I run it with Input 1 active. Can you attach your xml and also what version of Mach are you using and are you using the parallel port or some external device?
Hood

Can you explain what the macro is suppose to do. I see a couple of things but really need to know what it is you want it to do.

Hi BR549
It's Simple. The macro checks if INPUT#1 is or not active.
If TRUE - forward , If FALSE,  wait for TRUE condition.

thanks

Hi Hood
Parallel Port
Mach Version R3.042.029
INPUT#1 - PIN10
Active HI
The external Device is a single MicroSwitch.
Could the problem be caused by debouncing or noise?

Nemo

Cant see how noise would be the problem. If you attach your xml I will see if I can get the same happening here.
