Tool change position internal error (HELP!!!!)

[woffler]

Hi Dave ,things are not going so well this morning! i had to adjust my steps a little in my x axis and all hell broke loose!
.MSM PRO.# VER.2.0.6 Mach version # R3.043.066
Using master tool mode with probe ,probe tool # 250 with touch plate

Here is what i did, i adjusted step's accordingly to measurement on x axis.
I then then changed the tool tcp location on the tooling page, these are the readings from the tool change position DRO,X15.1986,Y2.009,Z -12.5546
The M-CORD DRo Read's X 0,Y0, Z-5.2338 if you enter in a M6 T#250 it will drive the probe right threw the mill table ! it will not make the required X or Y move first just a maxiium speed rapid of th e Z axis to the TABLE and beyond .

It will also do it from the gcode file ,i got several error messages as i jumped for the E stop Button,i could not recover the first it said something like internal error line 127 unexpected error , and i got this one to when i tried to recreate it M6 unexpected error trap.

As of now, i am down and can not get out of this state ,i tried a reboot of Mach and and MSM no luck still keep's doing it any idea's

I have a little more information ,i was able to finally capture the other error message ,Error on line:1023-internal error <move to tool change position> but i think this is from me hitting the reset button when it run's away.
I am still trapped in this and can not get out of the current state after a complete power shut down and reboot.
I forgot a little system information so here it is

Windows Xp 64 bit
Shuttle pro plugin
Parralell port to BOB
If there is anything i can assist you with please let me know .

ThankYou, Dusty

Hi Dave ,i finally got out of it by changing the tool TCP setting again ,moved it in X and Y about .25 and Z to -1.0 and it seem's to like that.
I can not figure out why it was doing this ,it should always make a X,Y, and then Z - move first instead of a rapid Z move straight down .

I figured it out what A DA! it was the setting i had in the z axis -15.00 it was just doing what i had told it to do !
I must be getting more grey every day and loosing my mind!

Thanks for letting a looney rave ,senior moment!

Hi,
I was just reading your posts, and you've figured it out before I got to the end... that was an easy one for me
Don't feel bad, we've all had experiences where those darn computers do what we said instead of what we intended!
