Re: Acorn Input Question

Why do you need both? If you are intending to combine your 4 closed loop drives + spindle/VFD, you could take a look at schematic S14972 where 3 Clearpaths are setup to combine DriveOK signals using a common 5vdc relay board. Using this technique your additional CL drive is no problem and you could ...

I repeat there is no "should" about it and what are you trying to do other than pick holes in software that functions correctly? Read the manual.

Re: M30 Macro

Re: Cnc12 V5.06 loading a program

I forgot to mention that it's good practice to Graph a program immediately after loading as a quick and simple error check - something I always do.

Re: Timing Pulley Options

With my Capt. Obvious hat on, don't forget that by doubling the spindle speed you will suffer a 50% torque reduction. Also check that your spindle bearings are suitable for the increased speed.
