Re: sinking INP #7 from a different power source?
Regarding "sourcing" and "sinking", it is important to be clear which side of the circuit you are talking about. Sourcing devices connect to sinking PLC inputs. Sinking devices connect to sourcing PLC inputs. Similarly, if you are using solid-state PLC outputs, then sourcing outp...

Re: C Axis Lathe Situation
If the C axis rotates from a position of C-23.0 degrees to a position of C-60.0 degrees, then it is moving in the negative C direction. Let's say that is CCW from your viewpoint. Then when the C axis rotates from a position of C-60.0 degrees to a position of C-23.0 degrees, then it is moving in the ...

Re: AcornSix - Zri Homing with linear scales
If the asterisk is always visible while you move the axis up and down the scale, then yes: you should try swapping the polarity of the index channel wires.

Re: Can't use X10 or X100 on MPG if probe is setup on inputs
But, since he has defined INP6 to be a normally-open probe-detect input, and has set P18 = 50006, the software should recognize that the probe is not available to be tripped when INP6 is open, and in that case ignore the state of INP7.

Re: sinking INP #7 from a different power source?
If you have +24VDC wired to your input bank common, I would call those "sourcing" inputs. The input sources current; the sensor wired to the input sinks current. If you have 0VDC wired to your input bank common, I would call those "sinking inputs. The switch or sensor sources current;...

Re: Trouble creating Air Blast Macro
If you are not using M8 for Flood coolant, and you want ready-to-use PLC support, macros, and VCP buttons, then just call your air-blast output "Flood" and go back to using the factory-supplied files.

What is the brand and model of those replacement X limit switches, and where did you find them?

Looks good.
At the MDI prompt, you can use the up arrow key to recall previous commands, so you don't have to retype them.

Re: C Axis Lathe Situation
The C axis positions are positions, not incremental distances. If all of the work happens to be on the negative side of C0, then all of the C coordinates will be negative, even though the C axis does move in both directions. This is for the same reason that all of the Z coordinates are negative, eve...
