Re: Spindle fault remove probe from spindle

Your report claims that the tool in the spindle is T10, which is the probe. Is the tool listed in the status bar in the top-right: T10H10?

Re: How to show button using if-then condition

You'll need three new memory bits for each condition (NoProbe_M, ProbeClear_M, ProbeTripped_M) and in the mainstage add the logic such that the correct memory bit is SET given the current input states.

Re: How to show button using if-then condition

Thinking through it more, I think I thought of a way to get it to work, but it involves adding logic to the PLC.

Re: Membrane Keyboard Quit Working

Your report msg_log.txt does show quite a few intermittent "422 Check Jog Panel Cable" messages. This makes me think that there's an issue with the cable causing the trouble communicating with the software.

Re: Home to limit switches.

One thing I've noticed is that you have the homing type set to "simple" and your home file simply sets home to the current position, not seeking any switches. Set homing type to "Automatic", make sure each motor seeks home in the right direction, then give it a try. Edit: and mak...
