Need help with Okuma MC4 VAE, Parameters are lost. I need to re-install them.

[DouglasJRizzo]

You Okuma distributor can make this happen. I wouldn't risk someone else's disks, as the machine could be configured differently with different options.

 

[VTM]

I'm more than happy to pay for a service technician visit, we can make the most of their time by having them do four things during the same visit.

For sure, whatever you think you might want them to do while they are there, now would be the time.

So I figured out what was wrong. A toggle switch underneath the floppy disk drive was flipped into load mode. I flipped it down and it worked fine. The parameters were never lost to begin with. It was all in my head.

Now I need to figure out how to add cutter compensation to an OSP 5020M using the G41 command.

 

[VTM]

Glad you found your problem. Very frustrating to that to oneself. Don't ask me how I know!

Here's a program sample for you. Its from an E100M. But I think It will run on a 5020.

[DeltaV]

So I think we basically figured it out. Its not the network, moxa box, DNC, or anything like that. The post processor is just being silly and created G-code these machines don't like for some reason. Whats weird is sometimes it will give me a "wrong tape command" when I try to send G-code to it, but if I input that G-code manually on the machine interface it reads it fine. This is only a problem some of the time and I suspect it has to do with the settings in the parameters.
Regardless, I'm just glad I think this problem is solved, for now.
