Also, is this Z-axis motor with brake function considered the spindle brake or just the Z-axis brake shown on G6 of this schematic ?

There is no need to use any brake wiring/connection on these motors and drives, just ...

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for assistance again. I have connected my PLCEXP1616 I/O board to my AcornSix via H7, with my Plus Limit OK max travel switches connected to it. The Wizard allowed me to add input definitions and change the N/C or N/O LED light indications on the Wizard/1616 I/O ...

You cannot and must not restore reports unless the same CNC12 version is used.

Hello all, this seems trivial, but I need help. I have connected my Acorn6 CNC12 Router V5.08 to my PLCEXP1616 Either 1616 with its own 24V power
supply that came with it and the network switch with its own 5V power supply, and for some reason the wizard is unable to auto detect it. Power is ...
