current M94 assignment of you setup is in the PLC, Here an example ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; M functions - The System Variables in this section inform the ; PLC that an M function has been requested. ;-------------------------------------------...

I have no problems with dxf import, but this one is also not a closed contour.

To mill pockets, dxf must be closed around the pocket.

I use AutoCAD LT or Inkscape with no problems.

Outputs on the CNC are not switched by an relay, they are switched with the software and can switch an relay.

You like to make simple things complicate...

Uwe

M94/1 Output 1
M94/2 Output 2

....

Uwe

1 Yes

2 No, also a threading tool is ground for a 1-4 degree helix angle, not for 30-60...

Herea subprogram I use to mill knurls with C-axis.

This also is very good for turning long thin parts.

Uwe

No Risk No Fun

But I would always choose a way if possible without editing PLC, makes updates faster.

VFD Direction and VFD Enable is perfect for a servo driven spindle on the relayboard since you can easy wire it to NC or NO.

Uwe

Connect the CL85T to 5V DB25, it runs more reliable this way.

Uwe

Easy way is Probe APP, otherwise the needed macro is in your keyboard
