I have the same setup, and was getting the same errors. For me it was always happening, but only when the slaved axis was enabled by the jumpers on the card.
When I dropped the hardware slaving on the cnc4pc card and instead paired axis A in the acorn wizard, it works fine without errors..

@suntravel, Thanks, that sounds like a great way to solve this.

I'll dig into the PLC programming and see how feasible it is.
But thanks for the quick response

Hi, I understand the Acorn doesn't have analog inputs for a potentiometer, but is it possible to assign a PLC input to a specific feed rate? For instance, if Input 1 is active: set feed rate to 50% if Input 2 is active: set feed rate to 25% if Input 3 is active: set feed rate to 5% etc. I could then...

Sounds great. Double regular Acorn still puts it within ballpark of say a fully loaded 5-axis Masso, or other comparable 4+ axis solutions, so I don't necessarily have a problem with that, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous. (I have considered the Oak, but it gets too expensive when you add on the...

Hi, I am in the process of switching from my current Buildbotics controller to something with more axis and outputs, and have contemplated the Acorn paired with Clearpath SD servos. However, my current CNC is a router with dual Y motors on the gantry, which uses up 4 motor ports. My plan was to add ...
