You have INP7 defined as "ToolUnclampButton". That is the input for a button you push to remove tools. It is doing what it is designed to do. If you have a sensor that detects when the tool has been unclamped from the spindle, you need to assign it as "ToolIsUnclamped" or "D...

I buy all my wire duct from Automation Direct.

Get the "thin finger" variety. That will allow more of your wires to have a straighter run from their terminals, into the wire duct.

Approximately what was the range of production dates for Oak units with v0x0031 firmware?

Putting the Oak logic power supply behind the Oak is a perfectly reasonable installation; but do it so that the screw terminals are visible and accessible. I usually mount them so that the terminals stick out about 1/2", between H2 and H3.

My guess is a loose encoder. Look inside the motor cap.

Keith,

Complete report attached.

I don't see that anyone has addressed the question in the initial e-mail. It sounds like he is saying that he has a Z+ limit sensor, wired (with all the other limit sensors) to INP3. We are to assume that this limit sensor is above the home sensor that is wired to INP1. His report values seem to sho...

Prior to Acorn -- and still for Centroid's closed-loop industrial controls -- you just install the new software version over the old version, and it retains your setups. If I understand correctly, the routine of having to do a fresh install in an empty directory, then variously reenter all your conf...

As Tom pointed out, you need to set up the CNC10 computer to use DHCP, so that it gets its IP address from the router, and consequently is on the same network (i.e. it gets automatically assigned an address that begins with 192.168.1). Also, you do not want to specify "c" as the network dr...

What does your cnc10.net file say?

From a command prompt on either computer, are you able to ping the IP address of the other computer, without error?
