Slightly wrong X and Y output for Fanuc OOTB Simulation PP compared to Siemens and Heidenhain

Slightly wrong X and Y output for Fanuc OOTB Simulation PP compared to Siemens and Heidenhain

Slightly wrong X and Y output for Fanuc OOTB Simulation PP compared to Siemens and Heidenhain

(OP)
Colleagues, experts,
I am using an NX ready PP from "installed machines" folder to create a new one for a machine with similar control and kinematic.
G68.2 works fine for 3 + 2, canned cycles are OK, but X and Y coordinates after G43.4 (simultaneous 5 axis) are different from the CL file which is not true for the same machine but Siemens and Heidenhain PP.
Please see the following:
from the CL


from the TNC file


from the Siemens file


from the Fanuc file


Only the Fanuc postprocessor changes X and Y values from the CL coordinates, while Z, B and C are correct.
How can we avoid this? What is wrong with the NX-Fanuc G43.4 output?
I am using NX 10. The PP are in "sim07_mill_5ax" directory. The problem is the same in NX 8.5.

Appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

Thank you !

Found a solution:

In the Fanuc style PP by default "dpp_ge(sys_output_coord_mode)" is set to "TCP_FIX_MACHINE".
Should be changed to "TCP_FIX_TABLE". See below:
