Re: Help with zeroing script

That is because you are setting the Z coordinate for WCS #1. Instead of using #2701, use #2700 as that is the Z axis value for the active WCS that the CNC software is in. I also have some minor corrections for your macro. You have #100=-#153 with a comment stating that this is the input number of th...

Re: Adding a 4th axis fault

The custom M10 macro in your report is not the correct one for that particular PLC program. If you would like, you can copy the correct M10 into your c:\cncm directory and then run the M10. Another option would be to press F3(MDI) and type G10 P800 R2 since your 4th axis does not have a clamp associ...

Re: Displaying M codes

Sorry for the delayed response. You would set a variable, let's say #100 to 0 if you wish to have the message displayed until the Cycle Start button is pressed or an actual value if you wish to have it displayed for certain amount of time. Then your command would look like the following. M225 #100 &...

Re: Lathe turret Macro Help

Since the turret is axis driven, you just need customize the tool change macro which you can find here http://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=1544&p=12688&hilit=turret+M0#p12688. Since your turret has a pneumatic cylinder that is used to lock the turret, you just need to add so...

Re: Help for create macro

You can't have 1 AUX button controlling 2 completely different macros. Since there already custom macros that can turn outputs 1 thru 8 off, I would recommend using AUX1 to control output 1 and AUX2 to control output 2. Your custom M14 macro, mfunc14.mac will have the following logic, M61 ; Macro us...

Re: The Ultimate Guide to Touch Probe and Tool Height Setter Configuration on Acorn, CNC12 v4.12

Here is the issue. Parameter 11 is set to a negative value which is telling the control that when the ProbeTripped signal is open, that it's being tripped. Since you have disconnected the probe from the system, the control believes that it's always tripped which is why you are getting that 916 messa...

Re: Oak board with Estun Servo 410/411 errors

The issue is that your max rate is set too high. Based on the pitch and the encoder counts/rev setting of your axis the maximum speed that your axis can handle is 109 in/min. 72,000,000 counts/min / (pitch * encoder counts/rev). In your case, it would be 72,000,000 counts/min / (10 revs/in * 25536 c...

That sounds more like an issue with the PC. Please provide us with the specs of that PC. Thanks.

Re: Tool Setting Options For Routers and Mills

I'm assuming that you are referring to the custom tool change macro, mfunc6.mac, correct? It actually looks like the custom tool change macro was moving at a fixed feedrate of 100mm/min when the system is in metric mode or 100in/min when the system is in imperial mode. Please copy the attached file ...

Re: Oak board with Estun Servo 410/411 errors

Looking more deeply into the report that you posted, I see a lot of encoder related error messages. I would check your encoder wiring from the drive to the OAK board. I also see that parameter 356 is set to 0 and it should be set to 250.
