Hi Guys
I'm nearly there! I have my machine retrofitted, and have one remaining issue. I can't get a servo fault from either axis4 or axis5 reported back to the CNC. Both of these axis are connected to my OPTIC4 board and I cant work out how to write my PLC program to handle these fault inputs on ...

Hi
Thanks very much for the help.
Yes, I was actually going to unplug the rotary axis, but I will ponder this one overnight as I probably don't need to - the rotary axis unit is approx 300Kg.

Does anyone know how I can get this drive to work?
