OK Thanks Tom
I fixed the wiring for the Z axis encoder I spun the spindle by hand and the number count changed so I seems that wiring is correct - I have the spindle encoder plugged into Input 6 however there is still an N in the first column....some more reading will begin shortly 9-)

I didn't have any luck with the bench test. I did reinstall CNC12 and reset the items listed above. I decided to test the encoders so I moved out to the shop. By manually moving the axes X is working but Z is mis-wired. I moved the Z axis 0.020 and the readout said I moved about 0.003. Same problem ...

I'm trying to setup my ALLIN1DC and realized that watching Marty's ALLIN1DC setup video does not apply, not just because it's for a mill but more importantly the items under ALT I do not apply for me. EX he actives 1-11 but for me they are labelled as different items; 11-14 are my limit switches. My...

1) Plug in the gray communication cable from H17 "PLC #1" on the Allin1DC, to H3 on the PLCADD1616 2) Either move the 5V select jumper on the PLCADD1616 to the "from H3" position, or wire +5V and 0V to header H6. 3) Set Machine Parameter 900 to a value of 1 (assuming you are ins...

Is there a manual than goes into setting up the PLCADD1616

I started to set up the pc that I ran the configurator on a few days ago and wanted to get to the Centroid site... for some reason I am unable to get there and the forum is intermittent. Is it possible that the configurator shut out the centroidcnc site? I have no trouble getting to other sites and ...

Did you order just an AllIn1DC or a kit? If you ordered the 14999 kit, you should have received an Ethernet cable, power supply, connector shells and contact pins. I got all of the above minus the ethernet cable - plus I ordered the plcadd1616 so I got another power supply and cables I also got the...

Allin1dc arrived, however it did not come with a network cable...is that normal?

If you remove the end covers from the ballscrews (front of X, left end of Z), you should find a 3/16" hex socket in the end of the screw. That allows you to crank the axis back and forth with a hex wrench. You can check freedom of movement, and also check limit switch function that way. The X ...

I am preparing for the arrival of the Allin1dc next Tuesday; I have about a week after it arrives to get some basic functionality. The current focus is X, Z axes and Spindle. The prep for X and Z is to splice power and Encoder cables (remember they were cut away from the controller cab). In addition...
