Hello! I am attempting to utilize the 'SimpleSample' provided by Beckhoff to explore the NCI functionality in TwinCAT. However, I am encountering an issue where the Interpreter status remains at 'READY' (2) instead of transitioning to 'running', despite the G-Code running and simulated axes moving. Is there something I may be overlooking or not doing correctly in this process? Thank you in advance.
What is the best way to initiate your NC! program? Is it through the Interpreter editor or by using the program bExecSimpleNci?
Thank you for responding! I initiated the process with the bExecSimpleNci command.
Hi there! First, ensure you have correctly defined your machine configuration and loaded your G-Code successfully. Sometimes, incomplete configuration causes the interpreter to get stuck at the 'READY' state. Also, make sure TwinCAT is in Run Mode. If you've done all these and you're still stuck, checking the NCLog (router) for any error/warning messages could help identify the issue. The issue might seem straightforward at first glance, but it could be a culmination of minor overlooking in various places. Keep us posted on your progress!
Hey there! It sounds like you’re on the right track with the SimpleSample, but the Interpreter status staying at ‘READY’ could indicate a few things. Have you checked that the G-Code is properly formatted and that all necessary commands are valid? Sometimes, the issue can also be related to the configuration settings in TwinCAT. Make sure your simulation environment is correctly set up and that there are no errors in the project. It might also help to look into any logs or messages that could provide clues. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
Hey! It sounds like you're on the right track, but it's possible that the interpreter isn't starting because it requires a specific trigger or condition to transition to 'running'. Make sure that you've correctly configured the G-Code file and that any necessary start commands are being sent to the interpreter at the right moment. Also, double-check if there are any error messages or logs that might give you more insight into what's happening. Sometimes, small oversight like a parameter not being set correctly can lead to this issue. Good luck!
