Re: G10 Commands Error

I wondered about some of them being able to be written or not from a g code command. One in particular that seems like it should be able to be written over is 71. That one is the distance of a touch off plate to a spoilboard surface. That could be something that changes often which is why I am tryin...

G10 Commands Error

I'm trying to use the G10 command to change some parameters in one of my custom scripts. I followed the examples in the manual and they work. The parameters I am trying to change are: 3,17,12 and 17. Every time I run a G10 P3 R0 command for example I get an "invalid P" error in the MDI win...

Re: Stop Button custom PLC tweak?

I am using the generic outputs right now, and it looks like this would work. Is there way that I can make my own custom output? And as far as how you can code in here.. Is this just like writing custom scripts? More specifically could I do something like: IF SV_STOP || IF #4120 EQ 99 THEN ELSE RST M...

I don't have an extra output unfortunately, they're all used up!

Stop Button custom PLC tweak?

I've done a lot of customizing of Acorn, but one thing I've never really dabbled in is messing around with the PLC programming. Here's what I am trying to solve for: I have a secondary tool on my machine that is deployed by an air cylinder. Think of something like a self feeding air drill. When tool...

Re: Temporarily disable limits?

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. I've been using the same variation of a homing routine for a few years now. For years I've been running my homing routine that way. As you instructed I removed the limits and sure enough it works... almost. My homing routine seeks the switches as you'd imagine. But on...

Temporarily disable limits?

Hi all, I've got a couple of Centroid installs that I have done that have required me to disable limits in certain situations. One situation is during homing. I've run into situations where a machine was moved when powered off and I can do a homing routine because there are machine limits in place. ...

Re: Slow Jogging

There sure is! I missed that one!

One thing I did notice is that with the pendant it jogs fast in all directions.. I like that just fine but it might be worth noting that the VCP and pendant jog behavior is different.

Slow Jogging

I'm seeing slow jogging on this version...

When using the jog buttons on the VCP positive moves work at full speed, but negative moves on XYZ seem to go at half speed... Is this a new setting I'm not aware of?

Report attached.

Re: Problem Saving VCP Aux Key Setting

That seemed to work. I guess something in the wizard isn't writing that setting correctly...

I didn't know you could change those values manually like that.
