M30 for CSE

G-code file simulation - How I can "rewind" my programm after M30 to first line?

Thanks!

AFTER M30 you can only use the "Reset" button in the simulation panel and start over with play.

Due to the fact I assume this is not what you asking I suggest you add code right before the M30 e.g. jump to a label defined at the beginning of the NC Code file.

As far as I know also on real machine tools M30 stops the machine to an end.

In my case for SWISS TYPE machine M30 is:

Cursor return here is REWIND to first line.

Thomas -

Most machine I am familiar with (Fanuc, Mazak, Okuma) also use:

M2 = program end (I never actually use this, but I would assume the operator would have to do something to get back to the beginning of the program before they can hit "start" for the next piece)

M30 = rewind (i.e. on control all I have to do is hit the "start" button and it will start from the beginning)

I'm not sure if I (personally) would want anything handled differently between them in IS&V, but that is how they are defined on the machine.

What is your requirement use case, when you press play and the simulation reaches M30?

* Should the simulation stop?

* You like to get back to the first NC code line and simulation stops or continue all over?

* What about IPW status?
* What about mounted objects like tools and workpieces
  The status at the end differs from initial start?

Just GOTO first line - I thinking about it like call for M30 main programm as subprogramm..

This is a swiss type cnc, and I want to simulate few part production/

Doesn't M99 cause rewind and restart when used in a main program?

I try M99 - no results.

Just now I see only one way - ignore M30 and insert after M30 exact copy of programm - at least I can close loop for SWIZZ TYPE machine.
