Thank you for your response.

I thought using Cycle Cancel and Cycle Start on the wireless MPG functioned as a reset. I've used Park with an MPGmacro before, but not with the VCP turned off. I don't really know enough about how the VCP works to know if it would even affect it.

I see in the USB ...

This is one of the many challenges of adding the wizard to our "more industrial" boards such as the Hickory. The Hickory PLC and its naming conventions comes from our more "industrial" side such as the ALLin1DC, OAK, MPU11 PLCs. Which may appear foreign to Acorn/Acornsix users that dig into the PLC ...

Sounds good. Now that I have an extra proximity sensor, does anyone know if the new CNC12 version 5.40 will natively support a "ToolClamped" sensor?


ToolClamped input will be available for Acorn/Acornsix in V5.40.00. Hickory already has the input.

Though adding a check in the current v5.30 ...

Unfortunately, the tt_check_config.cnc file isn't appropriate for Hickory.

The file was written for Acorn and all of the probe input check lines are restricted to inputs 1-16. Hickory has up to 32 inputs. Because my TT-4 is on input 32, I got an error message when the tool touchoff started.

Hello Spumco,

Thanks for reporting this, you are correct that it does appear the hickory install does not install this file. This will be corrected for next release.

You can copy the file found in the acorn/acornsix install to the hickory install or use the one attached here in the mean time.

By Setting P976 you are setting the value for SV_PLC_CAROUSEL_POSITION in the PLC for the current tool on the turret, which is needed for CNC12 to display the current Tool. Were your previous Turret's also axis driven or was their motion handled by the PLC?

Spindle Speed Ranges do not seem to adapt to gearbox switches, so something is still wrong in the PLC, I think.
I have parameters 65-67 set match the switches and gearbox, but when I command speeds in MDI, it doesn't seem to adapt to the gearbox position.


IF True_M THEN SpindleRange_W = 4 ...

Appreciate the report, you have your machine units in Inches. Please input the diameter of the bore and Probe Tip Diameter in terms of inches rather than mm.

Spindle will turn on only when manually told to do so from the VFD. The Allin1DC doesn't seem to be able to control it, but I verified the analog 0-10v output using the bench test procedure. There is no spindle fault.



If i had to guess, this might be because of the left over code under the ...

Custom PLC issues:

I'm trying to edit my plc, and received a bunch of errors when compiling which I was able to resolve by commenting things out that didn't apply. Finally, it compiled, but when I try booting cnc12, now, it gives a plc checksum error, and exits cnc12.

Attached are the original ...
