Converting a Pm1236t to cnc where do I home z too

I am trying to convert a pm1236t too cnc and am in the design stage . But can't figure out what to home z off of . Do I home it off the tail stock or a fixed point on the lathe bed. If I home it off the bed it could crash into the tail stock limit switch but if it's off the tail stock I'll have to r...

Re: Atc mfunc.6 could use some help (Resolved)

Once the estop (input)is triggered all outputs will toggle off When an Estop/fault occurs, all outputs are turned off, they are not active. Are you saying you have outputs active? Neither the hardware, nor CNC12, automatically turns off PLC output requests in response to a Fault or E-stop. That is ...

Re: Atc mfunc.6 could use some help (Resolved)

You say "those 4 outputs stay on just those 4 outputs" WHICH output numbers? and what are they assigned to? Outputs are physical outputs on Acorn. Please open the diagnostic screen. Do a video and show the outputs. Second line down is the output line, far left starts with Output 1 Show th...

Re: Atc mfunc.6 could use some help

Going back to 4.5 didn't fix the estop issue about turning off those 4 outputs,. So you will need to design a relay circuit with one latching relay and a regular relay to prevent pressing the estop twice from turning it back on and causing a crash The drawbar works with a latching relay , its the o...
