Glad you got it working

cbb1962, How did you compile the code? Did you use the Wizard or do this manually. If you do it manually it will show you the error. I can even post my two files and then you will need to go into the wizard and adjust you inputs, outputs, etc. ;-------------------------------------------------------...

Ken,
Your script looks like you are using a Tool Touch off sensor. Is that a fixed position touch off tool and you have a moveable plate as well? Need a little more info to answer your question.

Russ

cbb1962 You are absolutely correct, if you just run the wizard and tell it to write to the controller it will run the compiler for you. If you compile it the old fashion way it will also say fixed. You are changing the PLC source code so each time the wizard is run it compiles the source if you tell...

You are correct but it will be a cut and paste operation. The wizard modifies the source file depending on your selections. The Centroid team will not support all these third party pieces of equipment but they have added the capability in the pic scripts to add new things.

Clint,
Actually not that difficult, give it a try. Read some of the pic programmin guide.

SUCCESS !!!! For those of you who would like to modify the PLC script to build in a check for the DT02 touchoff tool here is how you do it. BEFORE YOU START backup these files in a safe directory. acorn_mill_plc.src plcmsg.txt First you need to create a new message to display in CNC12. You do this b...

Tom, Thanks for that document that got me closer. Apparently, they have the messages divided up into the types of messages. 5000 range is Warnings, so i updated the plcmsg.txt with the line below. I recompile the code and no errors or warnings. I start up CNC12 no errors or undefined PLC messages. B...

Gary,
Your company makes some very nice cabinets and you have some really nice machines. They are all very smooth and quiet. You guys crank out some first class hardware. You are making it super easy for those guys with legacy machines to upgrade in a flash. Nice stuff.

There seem to be some inconsistencies in the PLC programming manual. This section of the manual says the PLC message must have three sections MessageNumber MessageLogNumber Message If you actually look inside of plcmsg.txt you will find the following; Notice how many of the messages do not have the ...
