Yes, but you will need to add gender change circuitry or relays to swap the PNP signals from the 2 sensors (pins 1&2) Hi Gary, do you have a preferred way to do this? I'm wiring up the HSD spindle on my latest retrofit and need to swap the PNP output on the spindle to NPN. Just curious how you ...

Then you may have something configured wrong? Are you saying the control will move the turret but you get a time out before it settles on the correct tool? Or is the control not rotating the turret at all? I would like to see a video of you trying to have the control rotate the turret. Preferably b...

Please clear shot of the END. So you do have 2? sensors, I can't see clearly enough nor see how many wires are in that plug. What are the functions of each wire as you have them connected. When you rotate the turret manually, watching the diagnostic screen, do you see the two turret inputs turning ...

Please explain your turret sensors. Do you have ONE sensor to find HOME or do you have TWO? If you have only one, then you need to use TIME BASED SENSOR. Marty I believe it only has one. It is the same sensor as the factory spindle encoder. No, the spindle encoder has nothing to do with the turret....

Ill switch it to time based and see what happens. I was trying to follow the instructions exactly. Please explain your turret sensors. Do you have ONE sensor to find HOME or do you have TWO?

Yes I followed the instructions exactly. I did it again on a new install and I am having the same issue with M18. Just get stuck saying "Press enter to cycle start"

I also included the M18. Maybe something isn't setup correctly in the marco.

Marty,
Yes here is a video.

Alright I got distracted with other projects and just got back to this. So I changed out the relay so it has 6v holding the motor against the pawl and then 12v for when it is changing tools. Even with all of that I am still getting the same issues. When I try to do M18 in MDI all I get is a " p...

These are the parameters that I did follow. Parameter #830 = 2 **NEW** (Sets what t ype of ATC you have for PLC and macros, values are subject to change in future so ensure to check documentation on every update) F. Parameter #850 = Amount of time to wait before actually seeing the tool counter inpu...
