Part counting
OnTakt reads M30 counter #1.
Counting with M99
By default, Haas controls only count parts when a program calls M30, but they can be configured to also count parts when a program calls M99 using the following procedure:
- Go to the SETTING page.
- Enter 118 on the number pad and press the down arrow to jump to setting #118, "M99 BUMPS M30 CNTRS".
- Change the value to ON to enable counting with M99 or OFF to only count with M30.
Manually setting the part counter
Requires parameter 22 (ENABLE MACRO) to be available on the control.
MDI input or part programs can manually adjust the part count by writing to macro variables #3901 (M30 counter #1) and #3902 (M30 counter #2). It is possible to set a specific value (#3901=42) or increment the value (#3901=#3901+1). This is useful for programs that do not call M30 or M99.
Counting with a macro variable
Instead of using the built-in part counters, OnTakt can also read a macro variable and interpret it as a part counter. This way, the part program can increment the part counter by incrementing a macro variable. For example, the statement #500=#500+1 increments macro variable number 500.
MTConnect
MTConnect is enabled by default on Haas NGC.
Controls with software versions before 100.20.000.1200 will not report alarms or variables.
When connecting to the MTConnect agent on Haas NGC, use port 8082.
For more information, see Haas's documentation.
Q Commands
Q Commands use a lower-level protocol that is more likely to be available on older controls. However, it must be enabled in the control settings:
- Go to the SETTING page.
- Switch to the Settings tab.
- Change setting 143 (Machine Data Collect) to 5051. This sets the port that the Q Commands server listens on.
For more information, see Haas's documentation.
