So, the DC3IO should have been shipped with the jumper blocks for J11, J12, J13, and J14. These are common parts but since we have a sell price for them, I think we can sell you some. Our part number for those jumper blocks is 1761. H12 is a connector that requires crimping. Our part number for the ...

I'm loving the price of Aikron scales for my vertical mill Hickory Retrofit. My gut is telling me that for the 1/10 the price of Accurite, Heidenhain, Fagor, etc... I should adjust my expectations, but I see several posts about people using them on AcornSix projects. I haven't found any posts on us...

Are you looking for confirmation that your wiring is correct or are you experiencing an issue? Are you trying to get spindle speed controlled by Acorn, external potentiometer, or from the VFD panel? In general, judging from the manual pages you have posted and the picture of the terminals from one o...

Yes, please tell us what probe you are using.

There is a bug in probe_check_configuration.cnc that would cause it to use an incorrect value when Parameter 11 has a negative value. We are working on a fix but for now, please do what Marc suggested.

Yep, the RC filter is recommended as a solution for that. See this post for an overview: https://www.centroidcncforum.com/viewto ... 032#p46032

It's not an issue really but if you want to get rid of the meaningless numbers, set parameter 315 to 0.0000.

Unfortunately, that length may be a deal-breaker for the Hardinge, because the X motor sits between the motor mount (which moves with the cross-slide) and the back of the bed. Increasing the length of the motor limits X+ travel. The old Centroid 17 in-lb motor is probably around 7.2" from flan...

Closed loop yes, homing to absolute position no.

It sounds like you are trying to use the encoder output of a servo drive for this. What drive are you planning to use? Some models may have a way to send the absolute position through the encoder output port via a serial protocol. You'll need the ENCEXP12 to have a chance to interpret that serial co...

Cut the contactor out of the wiring on S15158 - put the VFD enable signal directly between the Acorn output relay and the VFD input.

Just make sure you remember you did that and bring the E-stop back in when you figure out the issues
