Hi Mazakers,
I have a Hyundai QT15N with a T32B control. A problem I have is that it doesn't execute M codes. Nothing happens when I add an M code process in a Mazatrol program. For example, I can manually switch the coolant on but M08 does nothing (no alarms either). M48 (parts catcher) and M05 (spindle stop) don't work either (The parts catcher works using the manual button on the machine and the spindle works normally apart from the M code issue). The most I was able to get out of the control in terms of M codes was an Illegal M Code alarm when trying to retract the tail sleeve before cut off using M32 (tail sleeve reverse). I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what. I've checked the manuals and I couldn't find anything about the issue. I'm not sure if it's a parameter problem or the machine doesn't support M codes or something else entirely. I would appreciate any pointers on the matter.
All the best
Edit:
Alright... I think I was a bit hasty in saying that M codes don't work at all. They do and I've been able to use them in a test program after changing a few things. For example, I was trying to use some M codes in the M code process which apparently should be used in the MNL process (not sure why though). I still have the problem of advancing and retracting the tail sleeve. I'm getting the Illegal M Code alarm. I've tried M31 and M32 (tail sleeve advance/retract) on their own and also preceded by M10 and M11 (tailstock body joint on/off). None of these worked. Maybe something is wrong in the machine parameters or maybe I'm still doing something wrong in the program.
Note: My tailstock body has to be moved by hand and doesn't have any sensors. The tail sleeve is hydraulic and extends/retracts using a switch on the control.
