Create and Implement a Custom G Code or M Code on Fanuc Control 31i A

Resources referenced in the video: Practical Machinist Thread https://www.practicalmachinist.com/fo... I initially struggled to figure out where the 9000-9999 programs are saved. You need to back out of the directory program folder until you get to the root directory, then select MTB1. To get back you’re looking for User 1 - Library The main PWE bit gets flipped, parameter 3202.4 - NE9 - gets flipped. Parameters 6050 and up (reference the linked thread above) related to the G and M codes. When parameter 3202.4 is flipped the 9000 programs are not protected so be very careful! In order to get G150 running I had to remove program 9014 from the control and then save my smart retraction as 9014. I entered “150” into parameter 6054. I backed up 9014 to the ftp file server puma folder. It was for G460 tailstock auto positioning or something. 460 was not entered into parameter 6054 but if it was then G460 would have ran I guess when it was called. According to the PM thread linked above, this is the association of the Parameters to the 9000-9999 programs. It was correct in my case (6054/9014). I copy/pasted the list below in case the PM thread gets taken down or something. 6050 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9010 6051 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9011 6052 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9012 6053 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9013 6054 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9014 6055 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9015 6056 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9016 6057 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9017 6058 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9018 6059 = G code that calls the custom macro of program number 9019 6071 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9001 6072 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9002 6073 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9003 6074 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9004 6075 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9005 6076 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9006 6077 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9007 6078 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9008 6079 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9009 6080 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9020 6081 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9021 6082 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9022 6083 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9023 6084 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9024 6085 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9025 6086 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9026 6087 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9027 6088 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9028 6089 = M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9029
