I got it working yesterday. A bit of tweaking of the air motor flow control was the final bit. I took the turret apart and rotated it back to where it was and aligned the reliefs in the bottom cylinder plate to what look like ports...this placed the mark I had made at 12 o'clock. I had lubed all the...

Is this a fine adjustment of the magnet or a timing issue? I get the proper lights on the ALT I screen and the display shows the correct tool that was requested. Is there a way to have the PLC recheck or how do I get past this issue. If I have a turret problem it is not obvious.

I think I may have a timing issue with the turret but that shouldn't stop everything...right? It's ...

Gary I will say from the start that reading report files is just a hobby 8-) have you ever used WinMerge ? It's used to compare files.Download it, as it very handy. If you open the two files within your report zip file that begin with Report you will see differences between the two files. For exampl...

Gary I think this is the time to add a report. Are your network addresses set? Are you getiing indication of communication?

I tried to spin manually and with MDI. I had a spindle fault that I cleared ...I just gave it a boost by hand and it spun up. I'll keep and eye on it
