Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.
