Re: M98 G65 Loop counts / can't set to zero

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...

Re: Machine Homing job cancelled

You need to jog all axes clear of their limit/home switches, before you try to start the auto homing cycle (or any other cycle, for that matter).

On the Al-i display, the first six dots on the top line (INP1 - INP6) must all be green.

Re: Hardinge CHNC4 Retrofit

As one would expect, it appears that AC power and servo motor power are in one; encoders, PLC inputs, and VFD control signals are in the other.

Re: Hardinge CHNC4 Retrofit

In the pictures I have of a similar control (T2149), there were two conduits running between the gray Centroid control cabinet and the interconnect compartment on the back of the lathe.

Re: Problems with Centroid_OAK_Mill_SpinBrake-r2.src

As its name suggests, the PLC program you have selected and installed has control for a spindle brake, not a Z axis servo brake. Try installing a more standard PLC program, like Centroid_OAK_Mill_Standard-r10.src. That will have support for a Z axis servo brake release on OUT9. Unfortunately, I do n...

If you were to post a Report, then we would be able to see whether you have OUT9 forced on.

Re: Unclamp Tool Output Defaulting On

That is what it seems like to me, too. It appears that when the Wizard interface was designed, someone thought for a few seconds about limit switches, home switches, emergency stop, and drive-okay signals, and concluded that "normally-open" and "requires inversion" were synonymou...

Re: Setting up Spindle Load Meter without spindle encoder

Supposing that you want to use "axis #6" for spindle information:
1) Set P35 = 6
2) Set P313 = 0
3) Make the PLC program assign the spindle load meter value to SV_METER_6
4) Leave P78 = 0

Re: v5.07 rev 15 beta download now available. updated draft release notes attached.

According to customer:
1) Rapid Override issue with G99 feed-per-revolution moves is fixed. Thank you.
2) Lathe X/Z axis cross-up on Current Position mini DRO, on Runtime Graphics screen, is not yet fixed. DRO still shows wrong axis positions.
