Got a problem... (and the boss doesn't seem to know how to deal with remotely)
Was shutting down the machine for the day. Part of the shutdown procedure is to make sure nothing is in the spindle (the fear is when the air supply is shut off the toolholder with its tool will just fall right off the spindle, so this is done as a safety precaution). So I have to go to MDI and input the command to switch to an empty tool slot.
Problem is one of the machine, when I go into the MDI interface, and the PROG screen, is that there's a note saying the file is read only. So when I try to input a MDI command it will not accept it at all. Called the boss and showed him the screen and he said he'll deal with it on monday.
Is there any way to solve this on the machine? I think maybe the boss accidentally write protected the CF card the nc file is on... (I didn't know CF card had a write protect feature, only SD card has it).
I temporarily solved it by taking the tool off the spindle as I can't actuate a tool change without MDI (as this isn't one of those fancy new fangled Haas machine...)
Here is a screenshot of what's going on. It will not accept any manual commands.
