The pendant which I have is the model P3. The current offering from the vendor is the model P3A. I tried the driver for that model but nothing all works with that version so they have apparently changed quite a bit in the new revision. Anyway, I can work around the problem. Not quite as convenient a...

Hi Dave No, the pendant has been there all along and has worked perfectly until now. The jog mode is CONT and stays that way when the program starts. Both hot keys and pendant work before starting the program. Once the program hits the tool change, the hot keys still work but the pendant does not wo...

One other thing I noticed is that as soon as the tool change page comes up, the cycle start
light/button on the pendant starts flashing. I don't recall if that was the case before or not.

Hi Dave PP here also. I am trying to operate exactly the same as before but something has changed. I load the G code. Start execution until it hits the M06 tool change. The tool change page of MSM pops up as expected and the machine travels to the TC position. I change the tool and then try to jog b...

Hi Dave
yes, everything is normal before going into tool change. I ref the machine
and can jog it with the hot keys as well as the wheel on the pendant.
The only thing that is different from before is that (I think) the MSM is a later version
as well as the MAch version.

Hi Dave Thanks for the response of the license version. I have had to rebuild the system and used the latest I am allowed which is the 12.0.0 version along with the .066 version of mach3. I used a backup XML file and all seemed to be fine except for one thing. I can no longer jog once the system is ...

Hi Dave
Could you please tell me the latest MSM version available for my license??
Thanks

Hi Dave Thanks for the replies and sorry to have bothered you when it was a code problem on this end. I had not seen the G43 code in the output before and never had a problem before. My updates were good through July 2011 so I am looking at a new license I guess. What will it set me back to update ?...

Dave
I think I found the problem. I found a G43 code in the CAM output which effectively
set the DRO back to zero. I was able to do the TLO and the machine is now cutting.

I am using mach 043.33 and MSM 1.27. Would it be beneficial for me to upgrade these?

Hi Dave Nothing comes to mind off the top of my head. 1) The obvious general question is what changed between when it all worked and now? Any clues come from thinking about that? When I first tried to run the machine, I was getting an error message that it couldn't do a TLO and then another message ...
