Macro still running after hitting CYCLE STOP

[fdeporte]

Hi,
I am searching for managing scenario where Cycle stop are pressed or RESET.
I am coding my ATC macro and I don’t understand the behaviour when I hit Cycle stop button during macro running.
The move of axis are stopped but macro are still running.
I don’t understand why macro still running after I hit STOP. Can you please explain me ?

In most cases you have to handle the stop condition, so the macro will not stop. Normally, after each Code, Codesync or Codelist you have to check exec.Ismacrostopped() which will return true if the stop condition is set (the operation was stopped). Reset also generates a stop condition.

Thanks for your quick answer dezsoe !
So if the stop isn’t handle, all the following code still running ?
Does it means the STOP only stop the current line of code and continue after it ?

Yes, exactly.
If I can recall 2 of the mentioned functions will not execute code while the stop condition is active, but the third will clear the stop and try to run. You can find out which is which by a 2-line macro:

Code: Select all

exec.Callbutton(130); // stop
exec.Code("G0 X10"); // check if it runs

Replace Code with Codesync and Codelist to find which clears the stop state.

I’ve investigate this morning. The functions code, codesync and code list aren’t executed after cycle stop.
However, a IF condition run after cycle stop.
It’s strange to have to check ismacrostopped in all IF condition, no ?
