Re: Bought an Acorn board already installed for a change, need a hand...

Copy the cnct folder with another name on the new PC, to have the old files if needed. If you setup the new version, press ALT+P in the Wizard that will show the corresponding parameter for each field. In the report of the old system are all parameter settings, so you just can type them in the Wizar...

You'll have to accept risk that come with it ofcourse.
For ATC systems you can use the Probe Protection also based on the Tool Number.

Re: Retrofit Acorn to full blown Acorn Six

RCCB Problem solved.

I forgot the EMI Filter in the powerline for the servos. Wired in and the RCCB is staying online.

As usual, if done right surprisingly it works :mrgreen:

C-Axis Servo is also online, well kind off. If both A6 divers are enabled the lights are going out, because the RCCB is switching off :twisted: Both alone are ok, I must get an RCCB type B with more than 30mA Temporarily I got the power for the second driver from another circuit with another RCCB. I...

I am using Z /Z with the F5305S I could not get the OCZ to switch an input. I have tried to set it positive and negative Inputs set to NPN and PNP none of the combinations...

Re: Probe not working in Acorn V5.20

You have not set a Probe Detect Input, but P153 =1 Probe Protection On
Since not all Inputs are used, I suggest setting one to Probe Detect and make sure this input is triggered if the Probe or TTO is plugged in.

Swap the Z /Z wires in the DB9 plug and try if it is ok.
