5 – Station Setup
A conflicting process can prevent a program from loading
The CNC displays a message indicating that an M-code is invalid. It is a legitimate M-code, but the Marker 1 process is
not assigned to a station. For a process code to be a valid M code the process must be assigned to a station.
The part program in this example contains an M36 T3 (Marker 1 process select selection code) code, but a Marker 1
process is not assigned to a cutting station. However, Marker 1 is assigned as a tool. This type of scenario applies to all
M36 process codes. In order to make use of an M36 code within a program, the process being called must be assigned
to a station within the Station Configuration screen.
Process selection codes: M36 T1 (Plasma), T2 (Plasma 2), T3 (Marker 1), T4 (Marker 2), T5 (Laser), and T6 (Waterjet).
Adding a Marker 1 process to the Station Configuration screen resolves the issue.
