Re: Acorn Zero Voltage on Spindle Bench Test

Barring any unusual changes to the PLC program, and assuming you have good contact where the test leads are inserted in the analog plug, and assuming you have steady logic power applied to the Acorn board (i.e. it communicates normally with CNC12), and assuming your meter is trustworthy, then this ...

Re: Acorn Zero Voltage on Spindle Bench Test

You are going to need to provide more info, so someone can help you out. Do a report and attach, explain exactly step by step what you did to command spindle on and spindle speed. Screen shot of spindle setup in the wizard will help. Just saying it doesn't work, won't get a good answer.

Re: No motor movement

The switch on the side should also be in the 5v position and not 24v.

Re: Acorn Auto Measure Macro

I've never seen a macro for the oem file. I think it's probably in the plc. There are several available and I have some as well. I'm working on getting mine to auto update the library and it's almost ready to share.

Re: Tool changes for resetting Z every time

If you post a question like (I want my machine to home this way) whatever way that is, someone will guide you to the answer or help you modify a macro for your needs. There are multiple ways to accomplish any task and everyone thinks their way is the right way. The one size fit's all theory very sel...

Tool offset Help ??

Big progress but stuck on the part below.

Is the tool offset library in the parm's?

I want to be able to read and write to them within a macro and not have to go into the library itself.

Is there a way?

Re: Macro Help For Floating Z- Soft Limit

So the following works and could be used as a stand alone macro, but I have it after my tool measure at the moment. Having the variables at the top of the file still didn't work, but moving them down made it dependable. After the tool measure is complete, this is what it looks like. G53 z0 ;Z up to ...

Re: Macro Help For Floating Z- Soft Limit

In reading the work envelope it also said it is based in machine coordinates which is Z home at the top on a router. I would like for it to work in jog modes as well. I will try the "IF #50001" before the limit change. Yes, that was typo on the 5043. It sometimes worked and other times did...
