I'm on version 5.06 I would like to update my PLC. Is there a particular place that I need to put it so that it shows up on the list during install
Is there a utility just to load PLCs?

BTW, your current PLC program source file is missing from your c:\cnct directory; and therefore is not incuded in your Report files. Did you install all of the PLC program update I sent you on January 30th? Or did you just copy over the mpu.plc file? I just copied the files...I'll fix that and make...

I've always been able to get around this - I would like to fix what is causing the error.

Where is the initial feedrate set? I always start with incremental selected and 1% - I want the default to be CONT and at least 10%. My homing is affected and I always have to change it.

I am trying to test the solenoids for the collet closer. I have tried using M10 M11 and I can hear some clicks but I am not convinced the solenoids are passing air. I would expect to hear air flow and I don't see any action on the collet closer. I'll start by checking some voltages but any advise is...

Here are the colors and the (number shown on the screen) as I move the arm around.

To confirm; Green is 0 and red is 1? If my turret is aligned to position 5 I should see green-red green-red. This reversed to what I think I read above but follows The truth table from the old Centroid Harding manual

I would guess that the magnet rotor on your turret encoder assembly is out of alignment, so that it continues past the point where it reads the next tool, to where all four sensors are again inactive. I assume that you have INP19 - INP22 wired as current-sourcing inputs, because that would match up...

I was able to home manually M92/Z M26/Z M92/X M26/X. This is what my .hom script will do so it appears to be working. A bit more testing will be done. My next issue is with the turret - after making a tool change the ALT I diag does not seem to show the proper tool, although it is shown on screen T0...

I question about Homing; My current situation is that my -X limit switch is not being triggered, however I believe that for a Lathe Home will be defined by +X. Both+ and - Z limits are working. Can I home the machine with the current deficiency? Can Allin1dc have soft limits set up? What I'm looking...

I have an old computer tell me what I'm looking for.

EDIT I just remembered there was a board I had to send back to Centroid to get my upgrade...
