SUB-PROGRAM CALL M98 & M99
MASSO supports Sub-Program Call using M98 & M99 codes. With this MASSO users can now call subprograms with upto 5 levels of nesting, with this feature sub
programs can be called from the main program without the need to rewrite the same program again and again.
When a sub program is called, MASSO looks for a separate nc file and runs that as a sub-program. Having a separate file approach means that programs that have
common features can now be used used with other programs.
M98 Sub-Program Call
Use the M98 command with P and L value

Example: M98 P10 L5
In the above example MASSO will look for a file 10.nc on the USB flash drive and run the program 5 times as defines by the L value
If the 10.nc file is not found an error message on the screen is displayed and program goes into feedhold. When a program is loaded from F6 screen, MASSO
checks that all sub-program files are on the USB and if a file is missing an error is shown to the user

RESUMING PROGRAM OR JUMP TO LINE
When machining complex jobs such as die molds or complex engraving jobs which can take a long time to machine, power failure or broken tool means that you
need to start the entire gcode file from start. Restarting the gcode file from start is very time and resource consuming.
To be able to effectively restart your machining process from where you left, MASSO has a Resuming Program or Jump to Line feature (from software v3.30beta).
With this feature the current gcode line number is saved into a high speed internal memory and if the machine is even powered off while machining, MASSO will
automatically store that last line number in memory.
On power up, a message in displayed on the gcode list with the last line number that was running
After this please load the gcode file from the F6-Load File screen and go to F2-Program & MDI screen
Now press CTRL+J to open the Resuming Program window.
The last line number will automatically be filled and depending on your program, please go back a few line from the last running line so that the machining is
resumed a few lines before it stopped.
Next click Start from line button and MASSO will process the gcode file up to the line number entered by you. When done MASSO will calculate all the
machining parameters from the gcode file as below:
Calculate the X, Y and Z axis position to resume machining from.
Cutting feedrate as per gcode.
Tool Number.
Spindle RPM and direction.
Coolant/Mist status.
Carefully check the information and click the Run button.

Next MASSO will resume the machining cycle as below:
Move Z axis up to the homing position.
Change tool if a different tool is required.
Start spindle at the requested RPM and direction.
Start Coolant/Mist as per gcode.
Goto X & Y resume position.
Move Z axis down to the cutting position and start machining at the feedrate as per gcode file.
RESTARTING PROGRAM FROM START
Programs can only be resumed from the “F2 – Program” screen, press F2 to goto the “F2 – Program” screen if already not in the “F2 – Program” screen
Press CTRL + R to start the program from beginning of the file
AUTO LOADING G-CODE
G-Code files can be automatically loaded by MASSO for special production runs and below are the different ways of automatically loading gcode files.

AUTOMATIC TOOL ZERO
From v3.21 MASSO supports automatic tool zero option. This feature is specially very useful on machines which dont have the option for precise tool holders, after
the initial setup the user just has to load a tool into the spindle and MASSO will move the tool to the predefined tool setter location, zero the tool automatically
before going back to the machining position.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/RF0GUInieWM
Step 1:
Wiring your tool setter input to MASSO
Step 2:
Setup the MASSO input to take tool setter signal and make sure to invert the input signal as required by pressing the space key.
NOTE: please make sure that the status of the tool setter input shows L when the tool is not touching tool setter and only shows H when
the tool touches the tool setter.
Step 3:
Measure the location of the tool setter from the centre of the tool setter to the X and Y home positions. An easy way of doing this is to jog
the tool to the centre of the tool setter after homing the machine and noting down the X and Y values of the machine coordinates.
Step 4:
Next measure a safe distance of the Z axis from the top 0.00 (home) position to the estimated length of the longest tool. This value is
used to fist do a rapid movement towards the tool setter to save time and then use the user specified feedrate to touch the tool setter.
Step 5:
Enter the above measured values into the Auto Tool Zero window, enable auto tool zero and X/Y position enable as required. Please also
assign the tool zero feedrate.
WARNING: Tool zero feedrate and Z safe values must be carefully calculated as these values might result in tool
crashing into the tool setter or the machine.
TOUCH PLATE
Using touch plate and G38.2 for part zero:
With MASSO you can easily and quickly zero your part using the following example as a starting point:
Step 1:
Wiring your probe input to MASSO
Step 2:
Setup the MASSO input to take probe signal and make sure to invert the input signal by pressing the space key while the input being
selected. Inverting the input signal might or might not be required depending on your wiring setup, basically when the touch plate is not
touching the tool then the signal should show L.
NOTE: please make sure that the status of the probe input shows L when the tool is not touching touch plate and only shoes H when the
tool touches the touch plate.
Step 3:
Measure the touch plate, in this example its 20mm
Step 4:
Using the Jog/Rap commands in F3 screen position the tool on top of the touch plate and issue the following Gcode command through
MDI or run as a Gcode file which will move the tool downwards towards and touch the touch plate and stop
G38.2 Z-20 F200

G92 Z20
G0 Z50
M30
Step 5:
The tool will move down towards the touch plate at a feedrate of 200mm/min
Step 6:
Once the system stops after touching the touch piece, it will rapidly move up 30mm from the touch piece
Step 7:
Now the top of the work piece has been set to zero, please remove the touch plate and giving a “Z0” command will move the Z axis
towards the work piece and will stop and touch the tool on top of the work piece

WARNING: To avoid damage to equipment or hazard to personnel, the system installer should connect the E-Stop button so that pressing
the button opens the circuit connected to the E-STOP STATUS terminal on the control. This should disable the axis drives and the spindle
drive circuits, which should both be connected to this terminal.
Wiring example with one E-Stop button on the machine:
Wiring example with E-Stop button on MPG Pendant and machine:
E-Stop optocoupler drive disable example:
DOOR INPUT
Door input must be wired through a door sensor/switch for safety, Further the sensor/switch should be wired to spindle enable signal so that the spindle is disabled
when the door is opened.
Goto the “F1-Setup” screen and move to the “INPUTS” list using the TAB key
From the list select any free input from Input 1 to Input 32 and assign its as “Door Sensor Input”
Please make sure the door sensor signal shows L when the door is closed else invert the input using the space key.
NOTE: Door input must be configured on one of the inputs, else the door alarm will be active and the machine can’t be used
AXIS CALIBRATION
Setting Mechanical Parameters
Once all the electrical connections have been done, the system can be calibrated. Axis calibration can be done in the following simple steps:
Motor: Distance per revolution
First note down the pitch of your ball screw. Pitch defines how much the ball nut moves when the ball screw is turned exactly in one full rotation.
Next go to the “F1-Setup” screen of the controller, move cursor down to the X- Axis window (as an example) and enter the value as shown.
If the machine’s axis moves with timing belts or has a rack and pinion type setup then enter the amount of axis movement when the motor shaft is turned
exactly in one full rotation. If this value is unknown or hard to calculate then the calibration wizard can be used which is explained on the bottom of this
page.
Drive: Pulses per revolution
Servo and stepper motor drives have either switches or software tools to setup the drives Pulses Per Revolution (PPR) settings. These settings define how many
pulses the drive will take to turn the motor shaft one complete revolution.
INFORMATION: Please refer to your motor drives documentation on how to setup PPR.
Maximum Feed Rate
All machines have their own limitation of maximum allowable speed depending on the hardware and safety limitations. The maximum feed rate value is used to
check and make sure that the system does not exceed this value during operation. This value might be different for each axis depending on the design of that axis.
Acceleration
Depending on the moving mass and motor torque the acceleration value can be set for the axis.
Minimum & Maximum Travel
These values de ne the size as well as minimum and maximum values of the axis. In most setups this values is between 0.00 and some positive number, but in
some cases such as Z axis of a milling machine this value can be negative as the axis home towards the top which is 0.00 but the actual machining happens in the
negative direction that is towards the machine bed.
NOTE: The minimum and maximum travel also sets the soft limit of the axis and its very important to set this value with the exact travel of
the axis.
Axis distance calibration wizard
If this axis distance per revolution value is unknown or hard to calculate then the below wizard can be used to calibrate the axis
SLAVE AXIS
BACKLASH COMPENSATION
When to use backlash compensation
Axis backlash should first be adjust mechanically as its best to first find the source of backlash and if needed replacing parts. As with any mechanical system there
will always be some minor backlash and only very small backlash should be managed by MASSO’s backlash compensation feature.
Step 1:
Before starting to calibrate backlash compensation please make sure backlash compensation value is set to 0.00
Step 2:
Move axis to 10mm position by giving an MDI command “G0 X10”
Step 3:
Now install a dial gauge on the negative movement side of the axis and set it to zero
Step 4:
Move axis to 20mm position by giving an MDI command “G0 X20”
Step 5:
Move axis back to 10mm position by giving an MDI command “G0 X10”
Step 6:
If the dial gauge shows exactly zero then you can leave the backlash value to 0.00 in MASSO’s axis settings. If the dial gauge shows some other value then this is
your axis backlash value and enter this value to MASSO’s axis setting and press escape to save settings and complete the backlash compensation process for the
current axis.
NOTE: Please perform the above steps for all axis with backlash.
HOMING / HOME INPUTS
Homing Sensor wiring:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/mrKtstmM-hM
Please wire the homing sensors/switches as shown below:
Wiring example using switches with 24V power Wiring example using a 24V Inductive Proximity Sensor
Step 1:
Mount homing sensors/switches on all axis of your machine as shown in below image. Its preferred the sensors/switches are mounted on
the 0.00 location of the axis but can be mounted at any location.
Step 2:
After wiring the sensor/switches the system must be configured for proper operation as described below:
Goto the “F1-Setup” screen and move to the inputs list using the TAB key
From the list select any free inputs from Input 1 to Input 32 and assign them as X, Y and Z home sensors
You can also see the status of the sensors change from L to H when a signal is received on that input from homing sensor/switch
NOTE: The homing inputs must show L signal when the sensor/switch is not engaged or the homing will fail
Step 3:
Setting up the homing sequence:
Open the Homing window under Function Settings list

Now in the homing sequence tick the appropriate boxes for the axis as you would like to home.
In the below example we set the homing sequence for a milling machine / router. As you would first need to move the tool away from the job by moving the Z
axis up, set Seq 1 by only selecting Z axis, this way MASSO only homes Z axis first.
Next in Seq 2 select X and Y axis as now we can start homing the X and Y axis together.
Step 4:
If any of the axis starts moving away from the homing sensor/switch then press ESCAPE stop homing and invert the direction as below
Step 5:
As the homing sensors/switches can be mounted on either side of the axis, the position of the homing sensor/switch needs to be entered. If the sensor/switch is
mounted on the 0.00 location as per the above axample then enter Home Position as 0.00. If the sensor/switch is mounted on the other side, for example the axis
travel is 400mm and the sensor/switch is mounted at 400mm location then set Home Position as 400.00
Step 6:
Homing is very important for the MASSO to know the position of the axis and its recommended that Request Home on startup and Request Home after E-Stop
press are ticked
