Thank you for the suggestion! I was a little confused on how and when the binary signals were being sent. It would send the 'program running' signal after every operation it seemed like. Where I was thinking it was only sending that signal when the job file was started... I was not the one who desig...

In my .HOM file, the program running is set (the output sends binary 0011 or 3 in decimal) when the homing sequence begins. It does not send binary 0110 or 6 in decimal when the homing sequence is complete.

Hi there, I need to be able to control my Acorn's outputs. Look at the acorn_mill_plc.src file starting at line 3211 I need my Acorn to send on it's output W72 = 6 Program Finished when the homing cycle is complete as well as any other program file (.cnc file). I tried to add "Program_Finished_...

Hi there, I did not create the canned cycles in my Acorn, and I would like to know how to edit them. I looked in the cnc12 operator manual and see that it says "F5 - Canned Cycles" in section 10.7.5 but in my software there is no option for "F5 - Cycles" Please advise attached is...

YES!! That worked Chris.

All I had to do was change the 'Home -' in the parameters to input 6 for both axes.

Now my M91 command works for both X and Y axis.

Thanks for the help!

Hi there, I updated to version 4.62. Attached is the report I changed the input 6 to HomeAll in the source file, compiled, and it had an error because HomeAll was defined as MEM260 later in the file. I commented out the ladder definition, compiled successfully and restarted controls and power cycle....

Yes. I understand how the movement is supposed to happen. Back to my original question.. How do I make the M91 work with my .HOM file? I try to use "M91/Y L1" but the movement does not stop when my input 6 changes... Do I need to designate input 6 as the home switch or something? In the so...

Hi there, thank you for the info on needing to upgrade. I will have to do that soon.. I can't home the Z accurately with the wizard generated home program. There is no limit switch for the Z-axis. It is just 0 to 360 degrees. That is why I have the home file the way it is... I think I have to use my...

Hi there, I have replaced the X and Y axes' physical homing switches with npn proximity sensors. I have the input from the sensors working and my homing sequence is working... but I am wondering if using the M91 M-code would be a more accurate way of homing..? attached is the report and you can see ...

Hi there, I would like to know if there is a function I can use to skip to a certain spot in the job file. The reasoning behind this is that there may be a fault in the middle of the job file, and the operator needs to reset the fault to continue. Once the fault is cleared, they need go to where the...
