How to go about finding someone who I could hire to make changes to the plc program? I simply wish to add 3 relay outputs that mirror the on/off state of the inputs 6,5,4 . All I need is someone to add the code to the standard .src file for acorn 12. Highlight the changes and I can do the rest ...

What am I trying to do here? I want to see a green board. It's an old military practice. Before you roll down that runway all your panels in front of you better light up green. For people who use a device infrequently it helps. I am rebuilding my control cabinet I would like see a panel on this ...

I am asking if there is a way that I can get one of the output relays to flip on when on the input relays flip on. I see no outputs selection that deals with inputs. Is there another list or library of choices that deals with input?. I would really not like to delve in plc programming. For such a ...

Yes, that did the trick. Since I have only used limit switch for homing, I got the homing and limit switch function confused in my head.

The com errors reflect a new build in progress.
problem resolved
Thanks for the help...

I am having a problem with the homing function. The script runs until it encounters m26Z. The timer runs out with any movement. All limit switches can be toggled with the indicated input light and screen test responding properly. All three axis can be jogged but the movement it limited by an ...

I am doing a rebuild of the cabinet with the ClearPath servs. My current problem is the homing program stops prematurely. It goes to line 11 "G90: absolute position". and simply stops. There are no error messages anywhere. The configuration is set to use the "home to limit switch" I can jog the ...

Yes, I have 24V/12V meanwell power supply with COM tied to both. Both the KP3 and this gift probe appear to be npn. My basic question was to ask if anyone had an experience 12V vs 24 input (same COM)_ to the IN7 position on the board? My references on TTL logic on a generic board says only 2V to ...

I was given a nice looking probe that has the advantage of being quite short. The only problem is that it is rated for 12 v. If I supply 12 v to the probe will the probe detect and signal ports on the acorn board respond to the 12v input

Is there a way to get the output relays to mirror a parameter? For example, if I want an external indicator light to light up in sync with a limit switch can a relay be programed to drive that indicator.? If so, is there documentation on this? I know this can be done by wiring the switch via an ...
