Please show me where to find input 3 / input 4 in the code. Certainly, i'll explain here fully. Lets start with the PLC, which is the acorn_router_plc.src file found in your C:\cncm directory. This is a slightly modified version of the standard plc file for your system, as your clamp/unclamp signal...

What's the file name for the I/O information? Is it another XML file? I'd like to add this file to the script I use to copy out all important machine parameters. The I/O info in a single file saves a lot of time on new installs. Its a .xml similar to the drive xml's. Can find them under resources\w...

Hi Maker,

Could you send a fresh report of the system. Would help us look at the logs and your machine setup.

Is the drive faulting out, or what is the specific error that you are getting with the axis?

I just want to get clarification, you horizontally jogged into the side of your part after setting the zero's, and not the plate its self? Sorry, bad wording/order. Inadvertently jogging horizontally when asked to position the tool into the center of the plate at 100x. This was done intentionally f...

Here's something that might be a good idea to look into with the new "Set Part Zero" options. This would be "Jogging Protection" when aligning the axes for touch plates. Currently, one could easily jog at fast jog rate into the plate, or possibly after measuring, into the part o...

Hardwired MPG on port3 for Z Axis is not working with the WMPG together I have to set the WMPG to Spin or Feed and then turn the MPG button on the VCP on again. That is like on my mill with USB BOB very annoying. I am used to turn the MGP for Z axis and X on the WMPG right next to it without switch...

There are sensors for tool in spindle (2 each inputs 3 & 4 ) 3 off 4 off = Tool in spindle, spindle clamped 3 off 4 on = NO Tool in Spindle, Spindle Unclamped 3 on 4 off = No tool in spindle, spindle clamped Josh, could you double check the states of the inputs. Last time we discussed the state...

Thanks, I'll keep looking. I have currently 6 inputs set up and 10 outputs setup for my custom "DMMDYN5" drive type. Wizard does not automatically save to the presets, one must be saved. I was thinking maybe this is a mis-understanding so i made a quick "guide" that explains the...

Its a .xml similar to the drive xml's. Can find them under resources\wizard\saved\plcPresets or the resources\wizard\default\plcPresets. drives are found under the drive folder in the saved or default directory as well. Chris, can you tell me the name of the file for the I/O settings as I'm not fin...

The xml macro line for VCP buttons can run a file from anywhere, not just the system folder. system folder is intended for centroid stock macros for use with CNC12. They are not restored by the report as it may overwrite updated files installed with CNC12. in addition, they are saved by the report w...
