Re: Updated DMM DYN2 and DYN4 to Acorn Hookup schematics.

The machine is a lathe ,sorry about that, on the schematic it says to hook wire to ZRI on DYN2 drive to input 2 on Acorn ,I was trying to find out why? And what it was for ? Because in the wizard if you load the proper schematic it comes up with it, as a limit switch input 2 ,I do not wish to use it...

Re: Updated DMM DYN2 and DYN4 to Acorn Hookup schematics.

I have a question on input 2 with a DYN2 drive, wiring says ZRI or absolute zero position index ,what do you set it to in the Wizard?
When i selected Dmm Tech it set it to 2nd limit.

Re: Updated DMM DYN2 and DYN4 to Acorn Hookup schematics.

Is there going to be a problem with the mixture of the two drives ,i have DYN2 and DYN4 drives ?

I also have a question about the limit inputs if using proximity switch, as you have daisy chained the input for the DYN 2 drive.

The only thing else i can tell you is about tuning ,when you get there let me know and i will lend a hand . I would worry about C drive later and i would not...
