If you read in the install manual it states that the IP address for your ethernet adaptor must be set 10.168.41.1 and also set as a static IP address. Here's also a link to a topic Keith posted on communication issues. https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=8880#p8880 Thanks Shawn, that was i...

Been using exact setup for almost a year no problems. Had a buddy over and we were doing some networking stuff with old server gear etc using this pc. I have since reset the ethernet adapter back to defaults, but my acorn wont connect. acorn has the heartbeat, the ethernet port has the orange and fl...

Use a solenoid with a built in relay, dont power the coils directly. example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073F6YDMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This way all Acorn is doing is powering a relay. No flyback diode needed. "Do I need to wire a Flyback diode across the ...

I am in the middle of trying to replace my spindle bearings on my PM-30MV. I am looking at using "qualitybearingsonline" They sell NSK, SKF etc at reasonable prices (at least as far as i can find) Warning though, I have not actually ordered anything from them yet, but plan on soon. Here is...

Have you considered adding your own PLC output that just does what you want I had not considered that because i do not know how to do that. If it would be a more robust way of doing this, then i would consider it though. Where would i find the documentation on adding a custom PLC output? thanks

looks like you have the output forced ON in the I/O menu? Considering that i dont know how to do that, i would find it unlikely. It also happens randomly when doing a tool check while running a program with the only buttons being pressed are on the WMPG. Would it be possible for a WMPG button to do...

Using the mill and randomly when starting a program or resuming from a tool check the spindle brake wont release. Cant figure out what causes it yet. Bug? happens randomly, so far like once every week or so. The only way I have found to get it to work again is to power cycle acorn and CNC12 at least...

Can I ask why are you removing the OEm VFD? Are the VFD supply with the precision Matthews machines no good to use with the CNC conversion the only reason I ask is because I have a 940 V coming and I didn’t plan on changing out the VFD! I dont know on that mill exactly, but the driver on the PM-25 ...

3. The mill as supplied from the factory has no power switch. As soon as you plug it in, the LED's light up and the cooling fan comes on. This seems odd to me. Do most mills have a power switch? I'm assuming you mean VFD here. You should be using a contactor controlled by a disconnect switch or by ...
