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.

Re: Z Axis lag - Loosing position

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

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

VFD enable triggers the Output# it is assigned to in the Wizard, no matter If you use DB25 or the relayboard.

Since it is not time critical, I use the relay board for the ease of wiring.

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn

If a tool is ok for your jobs, do not change it ;)

IMHO the only logical reason for other tools is if they give you an advantage in cost, speed or precision if one of them is at the moment nok.

With wine discard logic 🤣
