Likely just something I don't know as I bought this machine and brought it into my little hobby shop to learn some CNC stuff.
I've been able to zero the machine, then setup a G54 offset and make it active, but with in MDI or MEM i get a "020: Prog Error (G)" any time it's called and I have to hit reset. In MDI G54 is now my active offset and everything I run is based on it, if I'm running an actual program then I have to edit it and remove the G54, although it's still the primary coord system.
Changing to any others seems to do the same thing. I set up a simple G55 that is 3" off of machine zero in X/Y and I can go to MDI, run G55, get the Prog Error, reset then go to X0 Y0 and be 3" off X/Y, run G54, get Prog Error, go to X0 Y0 and be where expected for G54.
Is there more to setting the current coordinate system than just calling it? Why might I be getting this error?
The manual suggests:
020 PROG ERROR (G)
Unusable G code or G code not included in options programmed
???
seems odd that it works other than interrupting what ever I'm doing and having to reset the alarm
