1 Macro B Reference Guide Macro B programming may not be included on your MachMotion control. If you are not able to use these macros, contact us for an upgrade option. 1. Calling macros Call Format s Example Not es M98 P Q L G65 P L A B. G66 P A B. M98 P0100 Q5 L2 Run subroutine 0100 twice, starting at line 5 (N5) G65 P0150 L2 A5 B10 Run macro 0150 twice, passing 5 into #1 (A) and 10 into #2 (B) G66 P1001 A12 B6 A10 B5 G67 Run macro 1001 with A = 12 and B = 6, then run it again with A = 10 and B = 5, then cancel the modal. M98 calls the subroutine specified by P (must be 4 digits), and starts at the line number specified by Q (optional). It will repeat it the number of times passed to L (default is 1) M65 calls a non-modal macro specified by P and passes A-Z (whichever are specified) to the macro. M65 repeats a number of times set by L and does not need to be cancelled. Pound variables A-Z are wiped after the macro completes. G66 is a modal macro call. It is cancelled by G67. Any lines in between will call the same macro with whichever parameters you pass it. G67 G67 Cancels the modal G66 M99 M99 Specifies end of subroutine or macro 2. Passing Variables You can pass variables to macros using letters A-Z, which correspond to pound variables. These are not places to store important information! Once you leave a function it is unknown what will be in that pound variable. The letters G, L, N, O, and P cannot be used as variables. Example: % G65 P0100 A5 M30 O0100 #500 = #1 M99 % Pass a value of 5 to macro Start of macro. The value of A is stored in #1, and we will save it to #500. Return from the macro. 2.1 Variables A B C D E F H I J K M Q R S T U V W X Y Z In a macro 3.1 Storage Variables There are two ranges of pound variables for the user to store values in. 1. #100-#199 : Values will be cleared every time Mach starts up 2. #500-#1000 : Values will be saved every time Mach shuts down 3.2 Arithmetic There are the basic add/subtract/multiply/divide functions available to the user, as well as some named functions for

2 more advanced math. When performing arithmetic, the control follows the order of [Brackets, Functions, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract]. Funct ion Symbol Example Not es Assignment = #100 = 5 Sets #100 equal to 5 Addition + #100 = Subtraction - #100 = 2 3 Multiplication * #100 = 2 * 3 Division / #100 = 2 / 3 Absolute Value ABS[ ] #100 = ABS[ -3 ] Rounding ROUND[ ] #100 = ROUND[ 3 / 2 ] Round Down (floor) FIX[ ] #100 = FIX[ 3 / 2 ] Round Up (ceiling) FUP[ ] #100 = FUP[ 3 / 2 ] Sine SIN[ ] #100 = SIN[ 45 ] Cosine COS[ ] #100 = COS[ 45 ] Arc Cosine ACOS[ ] #100 = ACOS[ ] Tangent TAN[ ] #100 = TAN[ 45 ] Arc Tangent ATAN[ ] #100 = ATAN[ 1 ] Square Root SQRT[ ] #100 = SQRT[ 9 ] Natural Logarithm LN[ ] #100 = LN[ 2.3 ] Exponent EXP[ ] #100 = EXP[ 3 ] Sets #100 equal to the value of 2+3 (5) Sets #100 equal to the value of 2-3 (-1) Sets #100 equal to the value of 2*3 (6) Sets #100 equal to the value of 2/3 (0.66) Sets #100 equal to the absolute value of -3 (3) Sets #100 equal to the rounded value of 3/2 (2) Sets #100 equal to the floor of 3/2 (1) Sets #100 equal to the ceiling of 3/2 (2) Sets #100 equal to the sine of the value (0.707). Takes degrees. Sets #100 equal to the cosine of the value (0.707). Takes degrees. Sets #100 equal to the arc cosine of the value in degrees (45) Sets #100 equal to the tangent of the value (1). Takes degrees. Sets #100 equal to the arc tangent of the value in degrees (45) Sets #100 equal to the square root of the value (3) Sets #100 equal to the natural logarithm of the value (0.83) Sets #100 equal to the constant e raised to the value passed Decimal Adding ADP[ ] #100 = ADP[ #3 ] 3.3 Logic Statements Operator GOTO, IF, and WHILE are used for decision making within a macro. Be careful not to create infinite loops. Operat or Example Not es N N5 Labels the line with a number, which can be referenced on other lines. GOTO GOTO 5 Skip to line 5 (line labeled N5). Can be above or below current line. IF WHILE IF [condition] GOTO 5 #100 = 1 GOTO 6 N5 #100 = 0 N6 #500 = #100 WHILE [condition] DO 1 Statements END 1 If the condition is true, it will execute the statement on that line. If it is false, it will skip it. It is combined with GOTO to create true and false sections of code. While the condition is true, the code will loop through the code between DO 1 and END 1. The numbers 1 correspond to each other. It can be any number as long as it is the same at both the start and the end.

3 3.4 Auxiliary Functions There are additional pound variables which have functionality that may be useful to the user. Funct ionalit y Example #3001 #3002 #3000 #3006 #3007 #3004 #3005 Millisecond timer. Setting it to 0 will reset the timer, and its value at any point can be stored in another pound variable. Hour timer. Setting it to 0 will reset the timer, and its value at any point can be stored in another pound variable. Generates alarm. Gcode will be stop and the operator must reset to continue. Generates an alarm with an associated message. Requires a reset before continuing. Reports the state of Mirror Image, cannot be set (use G50 or G51 to set) Set this variable with a 3-digit number. Digit 0 will enable/disable feed hold, digit 1 will enable/disable feedrate override, digit 2 will enable/disable exact stop. Changes the units of measurement between imperial and metric (This function waits 1 second) #3001 = 0 WHILE [#3001 LE 1000] DO 1 END 1 #100 = #3002 WHILE[condition] DO 1 Statements END 1 #101 = # #100 (#101 now holds the difference in hours to run the while loop) #3000 = 1 (Example Message) #3006 = 101 (Example Message) #100 = #3007 #3004 = 110 (disable exact stop, disable feedrate override, and enable feed holds) #3005 = 1 (sets units to metric) #3011 Returns the current data in YYYYMMDD form #100 = #3011 (get date) #100 = FIX[ #100 / 10000] (#100 now has just the year) #3012 Returns the current time in HHMMSS form #100 = #3012 #3100 Returns nil #100 = #3100 (clear #100) #3101 Returns pi #100 = #3101 * [3 * 3] (area of a circle = pi * r-squared) #3102 Returns the constant e #100 = #3102 #6000 Set bit b00x00000 to 1 to step into a subroutine or macro. Set it to 0 step over it. For example, use this gcode to step into a subroutine: G10 L50 N6000 R G System Variables It is not recommended that you change the values of these pound variables, though they are available to the user. Changing values can result in unexpected machine movement. When setting modal groups, multiply the desired value by ten. For instance, to set the active motion g-code (#4001) to a feed rate move (G01), set #4001 = 10. Mo dal Gro ups #4001 Active motion G-code #4002 Active motion plane #4003 Motion mode (incremental or absolute) #4004 Arc center mode #4005 G93 (inverse time) or G94 unit/min
