Hi all
How I could I create a sub program using Pro-NC
I mean using M98, M98
Is it fully controlled by GPOST or else any setting inside Pro-NC?
Regards
Leow

I am assuming your refering to Fanuc Macro "B".
The sub program is called with a M98 or a G65 and ends with a M99. If you call the subprogram with a G65 you can
pass data into the subprogram. See your Fanuc manual.
If you use 9000 program numbers there editing can be restricted.
GPOST has nothing to do with a Macro B subprogram.
I write the subprograms manually. If you will give an e-mail address I'll send you some samples.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
I know how to do sub program, but how to accomplish it in Pro-NC.
I also do it manually.
I could not see any option in pro-e to create this.

Leow not having pro/nc here at home... and not having used it in awhile, use mastercam most of the time.
you create you nc sequence then under cl data there should be a subroutines menu off the machining menu, they you
can check the ones you want to sub or all of them...done sel

Not a problem leow_john
I will check at work tomorrow and try and get back to you this weekend if someone else does not get back to you
about this. LIke I said I am more mastercam than pro/man....
I work nights ... that why I am up late now...but need to get to sleep real soon it's 2:35 am and I am fading fast
I'm glad you brought this up as I had a bunch of tutorials that a ptc person sent me and thought I might of deleted
them...75megs zipped , it will take some time to look through them again.
I think that someone else will have a answer for you sooner than I will..it's a good forum with some great people

Leow,
Here is what I use for sub Programs in pro nc!
CIMFIL/ON,DEFSUB
SUBNUM=POSTF(7,4)
TPNUM=TEXT/'O',CONVF,SUBNUM,4,0,0,1,1,'$'
INSERT/TPNUM
CIMFIL/OFF
CIMFIL/ON,ENDSUB
INSERT/'M99$'
INSERT/' $'
CIMFIL/OFF
CIMFIL/ON,CALSUB
CNUM=POSTF(7,4)
TPNUM=TEXT/'M98P',CONVF,CNUM,4,0,0,1,3,'$'
INSERT/TPNUM
CIMFIL/OFF

basically the same thing with comments
1. CIMFIL/ON,DEFSUB $$ starts on all DEFSUB records
SUBNUM=POSTF(7,4) $$ first parameter of the DEFSUB command
$$ Convert the scalar SUBNUM to a string O followed by 4 digits
TPNUM=TEXT/O,CONVF,SUBNUM,4,0,0,1,1,$

SEQNO/OFF $$ stop sequence numbering
INSERT/TPNUM $$ insert sub-program number
SEQNO/10,INCR,1 $$ restart sequence numbering
CIMFIL/OFF $$ end of CIMFIL on DEFSUB
The next step will be to create a FIL routine on the CL record that marks the end of a
sub-program: ENDSUB. On the Fanuc control, the end of sub-programs is defined by an
M99 code.
CIMFIL/ON,ENDSUB $$ starts on all ENDSUB
INSERT/(TEXT/M99$) $$ insert end of sub-program code
SEQNO/OFF $$ stop sequence numbering
INSERT/(TEXT/ $) $$ insert a blank line
SEQNO/ON $$ restart sequence numbering
CIMFIL/OFF $$ end of CIMFIL on ENDSUB
Finally you must create a routine on the sub-program call CL record: CALSUB. On the Fanuc
control, sub-programs are called using a M98 code followed by a P-block and the
sub-program number.
CIMFIL/ON,CALSUB $$ starts on all CALSUB
CNUM=POSTF(7,4) $$ first parameter of the CALSUB command
$$ Convert the scalar CNUM to a string M98P followed by
$$ the sub-program number
TPNUM=TEXT/M98 P,CONVF,CNUM,4,0,0,1,3,$
INSERT/TPNUM $$ output sub-program call
CIMFIL/OFF $$ end of CIMFIL on CALSUB
