There are several ways to do it.

The simplest is to just locate every place where the PLC program tests "EStopOk_I" and expand that to read "(EStopOk_I && MPG_AUX_1_I)" (assuming, of course, that your MPG E-Stop button is normally-closed).

With your code, SV_SYS_MACRO holds the desired non-zero value for just one scan (20ms). That is not necessarily long enough for CNC12 to notice it, so you will get intermittent behavior. The key might work most of the time, but it won't work every time. Two scans seems to be sufficient, but there is...

Yes, but also, between the first and second cut (on the same side) you want to probe and set part zero, just as if you had flipped the part. This is to test whether there is something in the probing and zero-setting process that is introducing the error.

Try a simple test: make a part with just a single thru bore at X0 Y0. Make your side 1 cut bore it all the way through. Make your side 2 cut bore the same hole to the same diameter, but only about 1/3 of the way through. Cut side 1 (through). Then (without moving the part) probe the center of the bo...

Am I correct in understanding that you are setting a new XY part zero after flipping the part, by probing the center of the bore and setting X and Y to the intended coordinates of that bore center? If so, have you tried re-probing that bore after you set WCS, to see if the probing cycle reports find...

That is the key. The issue is a bug in the Acorn Mill PLC program. In InitialStage (around line 2577) you have this block of code: IF (ATCType_W == 1) THEN CurrentCarouselPosition_W = SV_ATC_CAROUSEL_POSITION, RequestedCarouselPosition_W = CurrentCarouselPosition_W, PutBackPosition_W = SV_ATC_TOOL_I...

See lines 3616-3629 of your PLC program. Your PLC program assumes a two-coil detented solenoid valve (one that stays in one position or the other, even after you turn off power to the coil). Most common Centroid umbrella-ATC programs turn off carousel advance/retract solenoid power as soon as the se...

See Machine Parameter 413 in the manual. There is probably a Wizard setting that is mapped to it too.

Your last suggestion there is probably the shortest path to success. IF [#101 > 0] THEN G65 "MyMacro.cnc" A_ B_ C_ X_ Y_ Z_ L#101 That said, it might be a nice, and relatively simple, enhancement to have CNC12 skip the macro call if L is specified and it is zero. Does anyone know what Fanu...

How long has that been in the software?
