Hello Kreider,



I don't see what defines "SV_PLC_Function_xx."



You can find what each SV_PLC_FUNCTION_XX does from the CNC12 PLC Manual starting on page 121. Typically these functions are very specific functions to command the motion control board and/or CNC12 to "Do Something". What each ...

My question is, can I modify the file acorn_universal_template.src and still use the wizard for changes going forward, and the wizard will compile my special PLC program along with any changes made in the wizard?


Hello!

To answer your question directly, Yes!, but it is nuanced. I would ...

I’m working a 12-12 shift today so I won’t be able to do that until tomorrow but I’m assuming this is just the laser gcode and does not do anything about the y delay in 5.3?


Correct i do not think this will do anything to the delay, still looking further into that. Provided G-Code should remove ...

Looking at previous reports from this system, the SpinLock PLC is indeed the plc this system was using. Input 8 according to the PLC comments is for a spindle belt Door Guard.

I would assume that if this machine was running before, this PLC should work in current revisions of software as well as is ...

So, I have played with these settings, but it still reverts to slow jogging after every probing action. Is there another parameter responsible for this? Would it be something in a macro that resets the jog speed every time?


This is part of Probe Protection, it will set the Jog Rate to Slow if ...

CNC12 does offer safety features for the spindle such as door interlock, or any type of safety device such as a light curtain. These would prevent the spindle from running if the door was open or if the light curtain was broken. In addition, Light stacks are supported, so if the machine was idle an ...

I have an electromechanical brake on the spindle motor, and an electrical resistive one via the VFD, but the VFD one doesn't really do anything as the mechanical one engages and stops the spindle so quick. I'd like to just use the VFD one for the first 2-3 seconds after an M3 command, then have ...

When I select the Advanced I/O Configuration button to create this custom preset, it does not show that there is an expansion board and generates an error when I try to create or export the presets.


Hello, can you be more specific on the error that the wizard gives you? Maybe a snip or screen ...

Okay, I took some time to take a deeper dive into this, and followed the trail of G65's. There's an error on lines 183 and 188 of "touch_plate_cycles_select.cnc". It looks like it was just a copy/paste, forgot to change it kinda thing. On both lines, the axis label assignment for Y (axis 2) was y ...

Thank you. I will run that first thing tomorrow.

Now we just need to Parameter 42x that adjusts the Y delay

After looking into it more, The Change in the Y ZigZag file may correct the issues with the delay for Y-Axis.
