Re: Speeding up homing process

I use the the PARK command as it moves faster. I currently have to leave my mill table positioned at the opposite end from home,when I turn on my machine using PARK to position the table close to HOME saves a lot of time.

Schematic search

My Alin1dc came with a schematic that I can not find on the Centroid site. The schematic that came with the control is S14674.tcw for a Hardinge CHNC lathe. Is this a custom or is there an available equivalent?

With the ALLIN1DC/OAK/MPU11 Install, if you choose to use the PLCInstaller, selecting a plc and clicking install will overwrite the plc that was present if any in the cncm or cnct folder.
Is this meant to say that I should not install a new PLC if I have a working one?
