What Is a Macro Program?

Although subprograms are useful for repeating the same operation, the custom
macro function also allows use of variables, arithmetic and logic operations, and
conditional branches for easy development of general programs such as
pocketing and user–defined canned cycles.
A machining program can call a custom macro with a simple command, just like a
subprogram, the only difference being; we can now pass information into the sub
program and manipulate it as we want.

An ordinary machining program specifies a G code and the travel distance directly
with a numeric value; examples are G01 X100.0
With a custom macro, numeric values can be specified directly or using a variable
number e.g. #1 or #2
When a variable number is used, the variable value can be changed by a program or
using operations on the MDI panel.

Variables are classified into four into four different types.
Variable Number Type of Function

Variable
#0 Always Null This variable is always null. No value can
be assigned to this variable. It is not a
value, it is nothing/empty/null.
#1 - #33 Local Local variables can only be used within a
Variables macro to hold data such as the results of
operations. When the power is turned off,
local variables are initialized to null. When a
macro is called, arguments are assigned to
local variables. These should only be used
to pass values, not for calculations
#100 - #149 (#199) Common Common variables can be shared among
#500 - #531 (#999) Variables different macro programs. When the power
is turned off, variables #100 to #149 are
initialized to null. Variables #500 to #531
hold data even when the power is turned
off. As an option, common variables #150
to #199 and #532 to #999 are also
available.
#1000 - ~ System System variables are used to read and

variables write a variety of NC data items such as
the current position and tool compensation
values.
To display the macro variables press [OFFSET] – {MACRO}

Local Variables

Mathematical Functions
Definition - #i=#j
This is what’s used to transfer data from one variable to another.
Example:
#1=10 and #2=12
#1= #2
Both variables now equal 12.
Sum - #i=#j+#k
This is what’s used to add variables and values.
Example:
#2=12
#1=#2+10
The value of #1 is now 22.
Difference - #i=#j-#k
This is what’s used to subtract variables and values
Example:
#2=12
#1=#2-10
Multiply - #i=#j*#k
This is what’s used to multiply variables and values
Example:
#2=12
#1=#2*10
Divide - #i=#j/#k
This is what’s used to divide variables and values
Example:
#2=20
#1=#2/10
Square Root - #i=SQRT[#j];

This is what’s used to determine the square root of variables and values
Example:
#1=16
#2=SQRT[#1]
The value of #2 is now 4
All of the above can be put together using brackets to perform larger calculations.
Example:
#1=2 and #2=5
#100=#1*[#2-3]
The value of #100 is now 4, because 2 x (5 – 3) = 4
A Fanuc control uses the BODMAS system to order how the calculations are made.
Formatting Functions
Absolute Function - #i=ABS[#j];

The absolute function is used to ensure that a variable is a positive value
Example:
#1= -1.234
#2=ABS[#1];
The value of #2 is now 1.234
Round Function - #i=ROUND[#j];

When the round function is used the value is rounded off at the first decimal place.
Example:
#1=1.234
#2=ROUND[#1];
Rounding Up #i=FUP[#j]
When the absolute value of the integer produced by an operation on a number is
greater than the absolute value of the original number, such an operation is referred
to as rounding up to an integer.
Be particularly careful when handling negative numbers.
Examples:
#1=1.2
#3=FUP[#1]
#2=–1.2.
#3=FUP[#2]
The value of #3 is now -2.0
Rounding Down - #i=FIX [#j]

When the absolute value of the integer produced by an operation on a number is
less than the absolute value of the original number, such an operation is referred to
as rounding down to an integer.
Be particularly careful when handling negative numbers.
Examples:
#1=1.2
#3=FIX[#1]
#2=-1.2
#3=FIX[#2]
The value of #3 is now -1.0

Trigonometry Functions
In Macro B programming Sine, Cosine and Tangent are applied in the same format
Sine #i=SIN[#j];
Cosine #i=COS[#j];
Tangent #i=TAN[#j];
An angle is specified in degrees.90 degrees and 30minutes is represented as 90.5
Arcsine, Arccosine and Arctangent are inverse trigonometric functions of Sine,

Cosine and Tangent and are applied as follows
Arcsine #i=ASIN[#j]/[#k];
Arccosine #i=ACOS[#j]/[#k];
Arctangent #i=ATAN[#j]/[#k];

Phase Test 1 (Mathematical Functions)
The formula to calculate a spindle RPM from a constant surface speed is

as follows, this formula just like any other never changes.
Spindle speed = CSS * 1000
3.142 * Diameter
Write a Macro program to automatically calculate this.
Variables required will be
#100 = For the result
A local variable to pass over the CSS into the macro (S)
A local variable to pass over the diameter (D)

Conditional Expressions
In a program, the flow of control can be changed using the GOTO statement and
IF statement.
Three types of branch and repetition operations are used:
Branch and Repetition GOTO statement (unconditional branch)
IF statement (conditional: IF…THEN)
WHILE statement (repetition WHILE….DO)
Operators
Operators each consist of two letters that are used to compare two values to
determine whether they are equal or one value is smaller or greater than the other
value. Note that the inequality sign cannot be used.
Operator Meaning
EQ Equal to (=)
NE Not Equal to (≠)
LT Less Than (<)
LE Less Than or Equal to (< & =)
GT Greater Than (>)
GE Greater than or Equal To (> & =)

The ‘IF’ Conditional Expression

The IF expression can be used is two ways.
 IF along with GOTO

 IF along with THEN
IF[<conditionalexpression>]GOTOn
If the specified conditional expression is satisfied, a branch to sequence number n

occurs. If the specified condition is not satisfied, the next block is executed.
If the value of variable #100 is not equal to 20, a branch to sequence number
N5 occurs.
IF[#100 NE 20] GOTO 5

If the condition If the condition
PROCESSING
is not satisfied is satisfied
N5 G00 X20.
IF[<conditionalexpression>]THEN
If the specified conditional expression is satisfied, a predetermined macro statement

is executed. Only a single macro statement is executed.
If #1 is a negative value, then the following statement is satisfied, #1 is

converted to a positive value
IF[#1LT0] THEN #1=ABS[#1];

The ‘WHILE’ Statement

WHILE[<conditionalexpression>]DO
Specify a conditional expression after WHILE. While the specified condition is

satisfied, the program from DO to END is executed. If the specified condition is not
satisfied, program execution proceeds to the block after END
A number after DO and a number after END are identification numbers for specifying
the range of execution. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 can be used.
When a number other than 1, 2, and 3 is used, P/S alarm No. 126 occurs.
The sample program below finds the total of numbers 1 to 10.

O0001;
#1=0;
#2=1;
WHILE[#2 LE 10]DO 1; The program will continue to loop
#1=#1+#2; between these two lines until the
#2=#2+1;
value of #2 becomes 11
END 1;
M30;
The identification numbers (1 to 3) in a DO–END loop can be used as many times as

desired. Note, however, when a program includes crossing repetition loops
(overlapped DO ranges), P/S alarm No. 124 occurs.
The identification numbers (1 to 3) can DO loops can be nested to a

be used as many times as required. maximum depth of three levels.

Macro Call Methods
A macro program can be called using the following methods:
Macro Call Simple Call (G65)
Modal Call (G66 G67)
Macro Call With G Code
Macro Call With M Code
Sub Program Call With M Code
Sub Program Call With T Code
Simple Macro Call G65
After a G65, a P (program number) must be specified; this program is the macro
program to be called. When repetitions are required, an L can be specified.
Any other information on a G65 line is passed into the macro program using local
variables.
G65 P9010 L5 X10 Y15 Z-10 R2
#24 #25 #26 #18
Modal Macro Call G66, G67
Once G66 is issued to specify a modal call, the macro program is called after a block
specifying axis movement is completed. This continues until G67 is issued to cancel
the modal macro call.

Macro Call With G Code

A G code number from 1 to 9999 can be used to call a custom macro program from
O9010 to O9019. In the corresponding parameter N0.6050 to No.6059, the value of
the G code must be inserted.
For example, when parameter 6050 is set to 181,macro program O9010 can be
called with G181.

G181 A1 B2 G01 Z#1;
; Z#2;
M30 M99;
The following table shows the correspondence between program number and
parameter. If for example your macro program is O9010, enter the value of the G
code you want in parameter 6050. I.E if you want G125 to open O9010 then 6050
must be 125.

NOTE:
Because a P value is no longer required using this method the local variable #13
becomes available and information can be passed to it by using P

Macro Call With M Code

An M code number from 1 to 9999 can be used to call a custom macro program from
O9020 to O9029. In the corresponding parameter N0.6080 to No.6089, the value of
the M code must be inserted.
For example, when parameter 6080 is set to 100,macro program O9020 can be
called with M100

The following table shows the correspondence between program number and
parameter. If for example your macro program is O9020, enter the value of the M
code you want in parameter 6080. I.E if you want M125 to open O9020 then 6080
must be 125.

becomes available and information can be passed to it by using P

Phase Test 2 (Conditional Expressions)
Create a G-Code to enable to drill holes on various PCD’s. The depths and the
amount of holes vary.
Process
1. Move the tool to the centre point
2. Using Trigonometry calculate hole position 1
3. Drill the hole
4. Using a WHILE statement repeat steps 2 & 3 until all holes are drilled.
Variables required will be:
A local variable to pass over the size of the PCD (D)
A local variable to pass over the depth of the holes (Z)
A local variable to pass over the number of holes (K)

System Variables
System variables can be used to read and write internal NC data such as tool
compensation values and current position data.
Note however, that some system variables can only be read. System variables are
essential for automation and general–purpose program development.
A full list off all the system variables for the Fanuc T & M systems can be
found at the back of this manual
Modal Information
The image above is a screen shot of a standard Fanuc program display.

Below the axis positioning you can see the MODAL information. Modal means active
G code or active commands. Everything except the actual spindle speed in the red
ring can be read.

The first digit (from 1 to 8) represents an axis number.
Here the axis numbers are as follow:

X=1
Y=2
Z=3
A=4
C=5
Always follow this rule or check parameter
1022.
Example:
We can read the Z axis machine position into #100
#100 = #5023 (As 3 is the number of the Z axis on this machine)
The value stored into #100 will be 2.376

Timers And Counters

Information regarding time, whether it be the actual time or time to complete
something, this can be read using system variables.
System Variables for Time Information

Variable
Function
number
#3001 This variable functions as a timer that counts in 1–millisecond increments
at all times. When the power is turned on, the value of this variable is
reset to 0. When 2147483648 milliseconds is reached, the value of this
timer returns to 0.
#3002 This variable functions as a timer that counts in 1–hour increments when
the cycle start lamp is on. This timer preserves its value even when the
power is turned off. When 9544.371767 hours is reached, the value of
this timer returns to 0
#3011 This variable can be used to read the current date (year/month/day).
Year/month/day information is converted to an apparent decimal number.
For example, September 28, 2001 is represented as 20010928.
#3012 This variable can be used to read the current time (hours/minutes/
seconds). Hours/minutes/seconds information is converted to an
apparent decimal number. For example, 34 minutes and
56 seconds after 3 p.m. is represented as 153456.
As #3001 is constantly running, if we want to use it then we must reset it first.
Example:
#3001=0;
M98 P1000 (CONTOURING CYCLE);
#500=#3001;
#500=#500/1000;
Using these functions it is possible to calculate things such as:
• The percentage of the shift the machine was actually in cycle.

• Cycle time.
• Downtime.
• Creating custom machine warming up cycles.

Creating Alarms
Using system variables we can make the machine stop instantly and display a
custom message.
When a value from 0 to 200 is assigned to variable #3000, the CNC stops with an
alarm. An alarm message not longer than 26 characters can be described. The CRT
screen displays alarm numbers by adding 3000 to the value in variable #3000 along
with an alarm message.
Example:
#3000=1(TOOL LIFE EXPIRED)

Creating Messages
Operator messages are a good way of letting the operator know what is going on in
the program and also any checks or inspections they need to make.
When #3006=1 (MESSAGE); is commanded in the macro, the program executes
blocks up to the immediately previous one and then stops.
A message of up to 26 characters can be displayed. The message can be cleared
with #3006=0.
Example:
#3006=1(CHECK COMPONENT SEATED)

Debugging Macro Programs

The most important thing when writing a macro is to ensure it has all the necessary
information passed to it through the local variables. This information may need to be
checked. E.g. If a negative value has been entered by mistake.
Checking for inputs using #0
#0 is always null or empty, therefore we can say that if a variable is equal to #0 then
the operator has missed passing a local variable into the macro. We can then also
generate an alarm to notify the operator.
Example:
IF[#24EQ#0]THEN#3000=1(X VALUE MISSING);
Restoring Modal And Positional States
Before exiting the macro it is extremely important that the machine is in the same
position it was when it entered the macro. Also all the modal information needs to be
the same too.
Example:
#100=#4003 (Remembers G90 or G91)

G00 G91 X#24
Y#25
X- #24
Y- #25
G#100 (Restores original G90, G91 state)

Square Root - #i=SQRT[#j];

Absolute Function - #i=ABS[#j];

Round Function - #i=ROUND[#j];

Be particularly careful when handling negative numbers.

Rounding Down - #i=FIX [#j]

Be particularly careful when handling negative numbers.

Phase Test 1 (Mathematical Functions)

The formula to calculate a spindle RPM from a constant surface speed is

Spindle speed = CSS * 1000

Write a Macro program to automatically calculate this.

Variables required will be

#100 = For the result

A local variable to pass over the diameter (D)

Three types of branch and repetition operations are used:

Branch and Repetition GOTO statement (unconditional branch)

IF statement (conditional: IF…THEN)

WHILE statement (repetition WHILE….DO)

10 Hughes Armstrong Middle East

The ‘IF’ Conditional Expression

 IF along with GOTO

If the specified conditional expression is satisfied, a branch to sequence number n

IF[#100 NE 20] GOTO 5

If the specified conditional expression is satisfied, a predetermined macro statement

If #1 is a negative value, then the following statement is satisfied, #1 is

IF[#1LT0] THEN #1=ABS[#1];

11 Hughes Armstrong Middle East

The ‘WHILE’ Statement

Specify a conditional expression after WHILE. While the specified condition is

The sample program below finds the total of numbers 1 to 10.

The identification numbers (1 to 3) in a DO–END loop can be used as many times as

The identification numbers (1 to 3) can DO loops can be nested to a

WHILE […….] DO 1; END 3;
