Thanks for looking at the code. I will correct the input 155 first and see if it works correctly then try the probefaststage following your help.

I will try and post my findings to help others as well.

Thanks for your help. I feel dumb. Here is the code I was trying but maybe I don't need to bother now.

;...
MechanicalProbe IS INP769 ; N.O. probe: 1 = tripped, 0 = idle
;...
ProbeDetect IS INP771 ; N.O. detect: 1 = present, 0 = not present
;...
ProcessedProbeTrip_M IS MEM30 ...

I have inverted the probe input 769 to NC and tried a simple probe that is 2 wires, now when I run a probing routine the machine does touch and back off numerous times then fails the probing routine. I also tried the code below but couldn't get it to compile. I tried MEM30 and other MEM positions ...

Is there a way to set the Probe PLC to work with a normally closed probe. Most probes are NC. Thanks

Thanks for the help. Does this look correct? I am 30 miles from the machine so I cant try and compile it right now.

IF (Aux3Key_I || KbAux3Key_M || SkinAux3_M) THEN (Aux3PD)
IF (Aux3LED_O ^ Aux3PD) || OnAtPowerUp_M THEN (Aux3LED_O)
IF Aux3LED_O ...

I tried to modify the PLC program as mentioned above but compile fails. Here is the compiler output and the modified .src file.
This is my first go at compiling so its probably something simple but I cant figure it out.

Is there a way to connect a 3 wire hall effect / magnet to a Allin1dc spindle encoder input just to display RPM in CNC 12.

Thanks again for your help, I'll try it on Monday.

Thanks again, I know its confusing to me. I'll follow your previous info and mess with the detect.

Thanks for the clarification, I've never dealt with a pneumatic brake before and trying to learn the correct process.
