First thing I notice: M01, which is the VFD up to speed signal (seems to be going into inp12) is not needed, M02 which is the VFD zero speed signal is needed and should be inp12. Since the tool change macro is hanging when waiting for orient to complete (input 17, which is inp1 on the PLCADD1616), t...

When you say that you want to get them back on the same display, that implies that you have two monitors, is that correct? So when you launch CNC12, the main software launches on one screen and the VCP on another? If this is the case, the VCP has a button in the bottom-right labelled "PUSH to F...

Even though it may not seem like it, a report is helpful in this case so that we can see what PLC program you have loaded and how the inputs/outputs are configured for that PLC. 1. There is not a specific wiring diagram for the Delta C2000 2. Relay 1 on the Delta C2000 is being setup as the fault si...

Hello, Terry The CNC12 Mill and Mill Virtual Control Panel are two separate programs that run when the CNC12 software is launched. They will behave like separate programs. If you do not wish to use the VCP, you can disable it in the Control Configurations: F1-Setup > F3-Config > Password: 137 > F1-C...

Added to the Wizard Touch Probe setup menu the ability to enable/disabled the new Probe Protection feature based on Tool number How would that work for the oak since no wizard is possible. Is the entry in the parameters enough? An additional bit was added to the bit-mapped parameter 3. "Add 16...

Yes, the red LED's turning on when powering up the Acorn are normal. The 8 LEDs near H4 & H1 (inputs), H2 & H3 (Enable signals on Open-collector drive terminals), and H10 (outputs) should all light up red.

What kind of drives do you have?

In addition to exploring around the UI, a demo mode installation will allow my brother to become more familiar with Intercon usage. To be fair, the rest of the menus in the offline version of CNC12 are accessible and editable. For example, if you wanted to go into the motor parameters and change th...

What functionality are you looking for in the demo software? The offline version of CNC12 is used for writing intercon programs on a computer that that is not connected to the machine. All other functionality of the full software requires the PC to maintain a connection to the controller via Etherne...

0.6647" off a 6" move is still quite the distance away. What are your current steps/rev and rev/inch values? The general formula for dialing in revs/inch is: commanded / distance moved = multiplier. Then multiplier * current revs/inch = new revs/inch.
