I've got 6 new Speedio S500x2 machines that are making me feel quite stupid. I've managed to set up my programs, subprograms and tooling, and I can run good parts all day long.
The part that I can't seem to figure out is the Tool Life counter, and Workpiece counters. I can't get either of them to work properly and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I am NOT a programmer, and I feel like I'm just missing something simple, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I've tried adding M230 (for tool life) and M211 (for workpiece) in different parts of both my main and subprograms.
For the tool life counter, all of the tool life info is in the tool data and initialized, but it never counts parts.
For the workpiece counter, the M211 seems to activate counter #1 (it highlights the column in blue, at least) but again does not actually count parts. I've set the count increment to 1 so it SHOULD be, and I can't figure out why not.
Any advice?
