Re: E-stop will not work using N C switch

E stop is input 8 by default, there you can switch the button from red to green.

Re: E-stop will not work using N C switch

You must set in the Wizard if e-stop is NC or NO.

Re: Dxf

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.

Re: Wizard PLC function to change spindle direction and enable?

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...😉

Re: Multi Start Threads

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.

Re: Wizard PLC function to change spindle direction and enable?

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.
