Re: 9015 axis 3 communication out fault?

You can update to the latest CNC12 software without any issues. If you are updating to CNC12 because you wish to utilize some of the newer features that are supported in the CNC12 software such as the wireless MPG or VCP then more is needed to be done as there is a lot of PLC program logic that is n...

Re: M Codes For Open/Close Chuck

Looks like there was a piece of logic in the PLC program that was preventing the ChuckTimer from actually being set. Please copy the attached file into the c:\cnct\WizardResources\Template directory. You will need to open up the Wizard and change something in the I/O list of the main page in order f...

Re: M19 command in Acorn

You're using the incorrect input. The photo shows that you have assigned input 5 as SpindleIsLocked but it should be assigned to SpindleIsOriented.

I also see that this doesn't have the correct custom macros. Please copy the attached macros into the c:\cncm directory.

Re: Is "Z REF" variable available?

It's system variable 24103. That system variable is associated with the Z Reference position with respect to Machine Coordinates. The value that is displayed when you go into the Tool Offset library is that position but with respect to the Work Coordinate System that you are in. The reason I am ment...

Re: G-Code Macro String Prompt

You can't use a string as a condition. If the operator is using a single letter then you can have that as a condition as long as you are checking the ASCII value of that letter. Typically, user variables are #100 thru #159. User variables #150 thru #159 are stored in non-volatile memory which means ...

Re: plc programming

Please always post a current report from the system in order for us to be able to properly assist you. Personally, I believe that your issue is with the following line IF RetractDrillBtn && SV_PROGRAM_RUNNING THEN (DoFeedHold),(DoCycleCancel), (DoSpindleStop) I believe that the parenthesis o...

Re: SV stall error

When you press F3(MDI), the control is energizing all of the axes which means that it's applying power to your axis motors. If your motors take off on you as you have stated, then Tom is correct in that the encoder signals don't match the direction the motor is moving. When the motor is energized, e...

Re: Start of production dearly needed, Fusion 360

Did you modify your Part0 positions after you posted your report on the forum? Looking at your report, you have a maximum distance of 2660mm on the Y axis and you have set Part0 for Y to 55.2mm. That means in the program that you posted using the G54 coordinate, the values for the Y axis can be from...

Re: ALLIN1DC and ENCEXP scale configuration

It sounds like all you need to do is correctly set the Axis Summing parameter, which is 75. There is a slight issue with your system. That parameter requires your scale to be on axes 1-4 which means that you will need to have that scale input on axis 4 rather than axis 5. Looking at the report, I se...

Re: ALLin1DC Current Switch Settings 7&8

Instead of purchasing different types of switches, Centroid used the same 8-pin switches that are used for the limit defeat switches. Since the ALLIN1DC is a 3-axis drive, that means that switches 7 and 8 are not physically connected to anything on the board so it doesn't make a difference what posi...
