I attached the wrong file in the original post.

Yes this is a hydraulic chuck setup. I will to do some more investigating after I'm done with the current job I have on this machine.

I think I found the issue after monitoring the inputs/outputs page. Opening and closing the chuck output seems to fix the issue. There must be a problem with the chuck open close bit and vfd enable in the plc.


*Update*

There is an argument in the Standard spindle stage of the plc to check the ...

I've had this recurring issue with CNC12 losing spindle control after running a program a few times. There are no drive faults or errors when this happens. I cannot manually turn the spindle on from the VCP or from MDI but I can enable the spindle If I go into the outputs page and manually force the ...

That's exactly what it needed thank you!

I have been using my current atc setup with great success but needed to optimize my turret code to determine which direction to turn the axis based on the requested tool number so I can cut down the tool change time. Here's code that handles this.

IF (#100 < #4120) THEN M106 /A P-70015 F80 ELSE ...

Yah that's a bit of an excessive check in that code hah so that's fixed now. Adding that dwell time right after M107 was the key.

Sorry about that, I did make a minor change since the last compile.

So added another sensor to check if the turret is unlocked before trying to move to the next position. Now im on to optimizing the tool change time and looking to add some logic to have it change rotate direction based on how close the current tool is to the next requested tool. One issue I'm having ...

Using a servo motor to drive a turret with absolute-position switches gives you an odd hybrid, with several choices.

I think I would use the switches (decoded as discusses above) to figure out where you are starting from; but then calculate the distance (number of positions) required to get to ...
