Start executing program

Hi,

I just now noticed I cannot find a function to start executing the selected program. Is it even possible to do it with this library? (over Ethernet).

Hey There!

So yes, it is possible to cycle start from software. You can do so by calling the cnc_start() function from the fwlib32.cs file. I have included a screenshot from the cs file for you. All you need to do is provide it the Fanuc handle. Keep in mind that this will not work if there is an abnormal condition on the CNC. So if the CNC has an error or operator message then this function call may fail.

Wonderful!

I've been looking at inventcom.net for functions and their use, but apparently not all functions are listed...
