I'm having trouble figuring out why my Fadal is stopping mid-program. I'm running a single-form helical thread-mill operation, which I haven't done before, but it shouldn't be much different than a helical ramp into a pocket. Is there a g-code/m-code that is causing it to jump out of the program? I am running DNC through a Calmotion USB adapter, but that's been fine to date. "sum" doesn't show any new errors.
Details: 1995 Fadal 4020HT 88HS Format2, 94.1 firmware
CAM: HSMWorks in Solidworks with the standard Fadal Post
The last line shown on the screen is N230 and then it goes to Enter Next Command leaving the spindle and coolant running. It does this repeatably. Is N230 the last line read or the next line to perform?
Ideas?
For example, here's the code for a helical ramp on a finishing perimeter with all the same codes called out, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem.
