Feed Rates in imperial

Re: Feed rates

I am having trouble trying to get the controller to respond properly .  I am using imperial measure in all my programs..  I have Parameter #115 (unit selection) set to “1”
I have Parameter  #15 (select of speed) set to “0” . I have “ G20” in the saftey line in my program.  Every thing works fine, except the feed speed  still seems to running the machine in metric feed (mm/min).  The “F” window indicates Feed in inches (ie: 30) on the right side and variable figure on the left side as the program runs..  I can adjust the feed speed manually with FRO or the F control.

I have done a test program in metric, changed Parameter #115 to “0” and the program ran with no problems indication the correct feed speed in the F pane (ie: 750 mm/mim)

Is there a parameter that I have not set, or not set right, that is causing this problem?  Is the controller not programmed to  convert metric to inches in the software program?

Any help you can give me on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
