Hello, We are trying to mill an outside circle with the ARC module in Intercon. In the ARC we choose CP & A. We start with a straight G0 movement outside the workpiece and connect the ARC to the G0. After posting we keep getting stuck in module N0001 on lines 13 (M41) and 15 (M40). As far as I u...

FYI Drive and motor is Indramat: KDW1-1-100-300-W1-220-MAINSPINDLE-DRIVE spindle orientation see section 3.6 page 50 e.g. https://www.rgbautomatyka.pl/de/p/file/4f740027b7f9aec9fa52bf0c30b16fae/KDW1.1-100-300-W1-220-MAINSPINDLE-DRIVE-INDRAMAT-MANUAL.pdf or https://www.scribd.com/document/520397203/K...

Hi, Problem solved thanks to your hints! I am PS :D Explanation: Since the machine uses inverted logic for positioning, I previously inverted OrientRequest_O in the PLC. That makes it less readable. So I created OrientRequest_O_INV for OUT17 and used OrientRequest_O as intended. I increased 10 times...

Hi, We created a simple operation using the Intercon for boring out 4 cylinders using a single point bore, see attached file. This works fine for the first cylinder meaning executing the M19 spindle orient command before retracting and lifting the tool. But after the second the second bore, the spin...

The issue we have is with the wired mpg. I have set the machine real slow and also set acceleration low for XYZ movements to keep tolerances small. The speed is limited to the maximum allowed speed while milling for all movements. The problem is that some operators turn so fast on the Z axis dial of...

Hi,

we have a working machine with centroid OAK running CNC12-D Mill v4.18 but some details need to be sorted which I believe are solved in v5.
In particular regarding the MPG


Can we upgrade to v5 and what needs to be done to the PLC?

The spindle is controlled by Centroid using analog out -10V to +10V Feedback is provided by the position encoder fed back to the Centroid controller (ENC6). M19 sets the position in a fixed position as needed for a tool change from the carousel. There is a push button switch mounted on the head that...

Hello, your help is much appreciated. Please find attached the report. The drive is TDA1.3-100-3AOI The supply to the drive is TVD1.3-15.03 The supply is common to all servo drivers. I have connected the drive X2/24 RF to Spindle enable OUT7 X2/3 AS to +24V X2/25 RUN to Orient OUT17 X2/7 INPOS to in...

OUT15 and OUT16 are SET in the initial stage. The inverter is INDRAMAT KDW1.1-100-300-W1-220 https://www.rgbautomatyka.pl/de/p/file/4f740027b7f9aec9fa52bf0c30b16fae/KDW1.1-100-300-W1-220-MAINSPINDLE-DRIVE-INDRAMAT-MANUAL.pdf It has no CW/CCW input, see page 39 of the drive manual However it has 2 di...

Hi, we have set OUT15 and OUT16 to 1 to enable an input range of -10V to +10V for speed CCW to CW. This works fine with the CNC console by using the + and - keys. However the M3 and M4 commands both make the spindel turn in CCW. OUT8 changes according to the requested direction, but this should be r...
