Re: WHY CAN I GET NO ONE TO ANSWER ANYTHING I POST ON THIS FORUM EVER

People can see your posts. Just wanted to let you know that. I see that you posted 3 posts including this one. One has responses. The other is about a limit switch problem. I hate to tell you but the only resolution for something like that is to trace that all the way through to the controller. Some...

Re: Using screw compensation

Sorry if this is a dumb question (and I did not look at everything provided yet) but I'm wondering if a probing cycle could be used for this. Probe along X and or Y, to determine any Z variances. Etc. Yes, future idea is to add a auto probing cycle just for this purpose that would auto probe along ...

Re: Acorn Input Question

You can have it anyway you like it. There is no right answer. You get to choose what Input you wish to use for each function.

Re: VFD Outputs not listed

My advice would be to start slow.

For starters, in order to get the VFD to work, you only need the following: SpinFWD, Common, 10v+ / 10v-

VFD Reset is only needed if you fault the VFD, and need to reset it. I would focus on getting things to work basically first.
VFD Enable is not needed at all.

Re: WMPG-4 pendant only works at 1x, but not 10x nor 100x

When you use probe detect, this is the case. You should be able to click the x10 x100 afterwards of plugging in the probe.
