TRANSMIT function, 840D

Hello there chaps,

Im having some trouble simulating the TRANSMIT function of the 840D control on a tosh Powerturn with no Y axis. That is (as far as my understanding) converting a Y axis move into a linear and rotary in the same sort of variety as cylindrical interpolation, I understand these have been known as RTHETA machines. All the documentation I read however seems to point to the fact that a cylindrical diameter be output and fixed within the Vericut control to allow the conversion into the rotary and i dont have this value within my output. If anyone done any work on RTHETA machines or can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated!!

:?

Cheers

Re: TRANSMIT function, 840D

In the VC control define the word TRANSMIT and TRAFOOF as MACRO subtype none

Define in Word/Adress G-code section:
- Word: TRANSMIT
- Range: None
- Macroname: PolarInterpolation
- Override value: 1

Define in Word/Adress G-code section:
- Word: TRAFOOF
- Range: None
- Macroname: PolarInterpolation
- Override value: 0

Define in Word/Adress Register section for X Y and Z register:
- Word: X
- Range: *
- Conditions:  AND - STATE - INTERPOLATION - POLAR
- Macroname: PolarXValue

In our machine we also have in Advanced control options:
Start of processing:
PolarLiniarAxis & PolarRotationAxis set. I am not sure if these are needed
for TRANSMIT

Re: TRANSMIT function, 840D

thanks for that paehv, I'd managed to rig up something similar but yours is a more refined solution!
