Can someone refresh my memory on S5 programming? I have a Siemens 810 CNC that had the program lost due to being down for an extended period of time. Once the program was restored, the machine will not continue the cycle. Apparently the program was not current. I have narrowed the problem to a "marker" that is not being set. My problem is that I cannot remember the location of "markers" in the PLC Status field. Is this a DB, DW, FB, FW?. I can't remember the format to monitor these markers. Obviously I am not a Siemens guy.
I had this exact problem about 12 years ago with the same machine, when the operator "accidentally" erased the entire contents of the machine. It took me about 2 days to figure it out, my memory is just not that good anymore.
This is my former employer, I am just trying to help out.
And Yes, I am waiting on a hard copy.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!
