Thanks I understand I probably just need some to do some testing, but at 500ms it seems pretty jerky and you are actually going 0 - 100 even faster at 150ms and 300ms, does that actually have the effect of slowing down or smoothing it some since it’s doubtful it and accelerate and decelerate that ...

Well I am happy to say that tested the function of both SSV and FRV after moving it over from the factory 5.30 PLC into mine. and they both worked like they were supposed to. I haven't tackled the Diagonal Jogging yet because it is a little more complicated and and it probably isn't worth it for no ...

Thanks Marc, I was definitely thinking the same way. With all that extra stuff in the factory PLC it is difficult to even compare them on notepad++, I believe I was able to isolate and move everything for SSV & FRV, so I will probably go ahead and try it on the machine and see if it works.

For the ...

Hello, I have a novice question about updating/merging PLCs to get some new features. I have a custom PLC that is very specific to my machine it does not have any fluff in it to allow it to function for multiple machines. It all works very well, and I when I upgraded to version 5.30 I was content to ...

Thanks for the lessons, I do appreciate it and I see now that I see now that I went the extremely long way around making it even more difficult, because I was thinking I needed to look at the state of the tool arm instead of simply looking at the state of the buttons. From the PLC for dummies stand ...

A couple of style and convention comments:
; Check if Tool Setter Machine Ready (INP14) is active
; This sets ToolSetterReady_M if INP14 is active, otherwise, it will be RST by default below
IF TRUE THEN RST ToolSetterReady_M ; Default to OFF
IF INP14 THEN SET ToolSetterReady_M

Supposing that ...

Thanks Marc, it took me a long time to get all that to work. I will have to study your comments some more to understand the error vs fault message. I am trying to get a little better understanding of what is going on in the PLC, it is slow going. Gary

Yes, I removed the vertical cutoff slide so the probe arm could swing up over the headstock. It worked fine but I had never used it, I just had a parting tool on the turret.

The arm I used is motorized and I assigned aux buttons to raise and lower it. Gary

Well I did two different things. Before I ever did the upgrade I ran the installer on another computer and as soon as all the files extracted I aborted the install. Then I took a good look at the .src file in comparison to my own and saw that I probably wasn't going to be combining them anytime soon ...

Yeah, I know how to edit and compile it and all that, I am just saying if you have a customized PLC and you want to put those customization in the latest version of the PLC to get all of the new features there is quite a bit more to know than copying a few lines. At least when I compare mine there ...
