I am confused on what you are asking. Are you asking about plugging directly into the DB25 connector on the ACORN? If so, then you could have used the DB25 connector. You would have had to map the pins for the DB25 connector in the wizard to match your particular DB25 pin layout. You may also have t...

It appears that the default logic for the worklight was accidentally overlooked in the PLC program. That will be corrected and resolved in the next release. In the mean time, please add the following logic to the .src file, save it, and recompile it. ;--Worklight IF Aux7Key THEN (Aux7PD) IF (Aux7PD ...

Also the reason why M101/5006 didn't work is because you are missing a 0. It should be M101/50006.

The reason it's not working is that it appears that you ran the wizard after copying the files I sent which overwrote the PLC program so that it doesn't have any logic associated with the turret I/O. Please copy the files into the c:\cnct directory. As that PLC program stands, the following I/O is u...

The fault signal should be connected because if the VFD ever has a fault, the control needs to know this so that it can stop motion. If not, then the control will continue to move the table while the spindle isn't spinning. You will damage your tool, part, and possibly the spindle. If you got the VF...

You should be able to accomplish that with something like the following in your PLC program.

TenPercentSpeed = SpinSpeedCommand_FW * 0.1

IF Aux11 THEN SpinSpeedCommand_FW = SpinSpeedCommand_FW - TenPercentSpeed
IF Aux12 THEN SpinSpeedCommand_FW = SpinSpeedCommand_FW + TenPercentSpeed

Looking at the manual, your connections are incorrect. The PULS+ and DIR+ signals should be tied to +VDC while the PULS- and DIR- should be tied to the outputs from the ACORN with the appropriate resistor installed. You don't need to worry about the AS signals as we do not supply that for axis drive...

Looking at the report, parameter 244 isn't set to the input that your tool touch off device is installed on. Please set that accordingly. From the main screen press F1(Setup)->F3(Config)->F3(Params)

Those are in the PLC source file, which has a .src file extension. All of the I/O definitions and all of the logic are in the PLC source file. We are working on getting the wizard setup in such a way that the user just has to set a few parameters that tells the control what I/O their turret/tool cha...

The next release of the CNC12 software will resolve the 509 Option Not Available message with Rigid Tapping.
