Totally. Yes, same issue, why I got the Vista pendant. I will add an external estop for sure. I have a a curtain Enclosure I made up to contain coolant.. it works but it is slightly annoying. Your Enclosure looks great though I'd love to see as many pictures of that as you can share. If not in this ...

Vcc refers to the positive supply voltage (24V in this case from the Acorn headers). The resistors control the amount of current used to illuminate the LED in the opto-isolators. Too much current can cause an LED to burn out. Therefore, they are necessary and not just a recommendation. Thanks. I on...

I have the acorn MPG. It does not have an EStop on it like my previous Mach 3 mpg did. My Novakon mill came with a estop that is magnetically attached to the front of the drip pan. Did yours come with one? I think it's better than one on the mpg. I can hit it far faster than fumbling to grab for a ...

Page 13 of the manual show the connections for the step and direction signals in the single-ended diagram. It looks like Maxsine wants current limiting resistors based on the input voltage your choose (24V for Acorn Headers). Page 14 shows the open collector Z signal you can use for homing. There a...

Thank you for any help

Your power drawbar has it's own software. It does not require any input from the acorn to operate. A tool change failure will still give a warning. I do not have the estop wired to the power draw bar. This would be easy to do with an extra set of contacts on your estop. I put a post about it in you...

Check the link....
Win.10 tablet mode...
VCP-options...
Restart computer...

What link are you speaking of?
I did check tablet mode.
Whats VCP options can I change?

Thanks

You'll need the step and direction inputs at a minimum. Depending on what the digitial inputs and outputs can be configured for, you could use them for a fault output when the drive has a problem; a fault input for when the Acorn is not ready; and a fault reset to remotely reset tge drive afterca d...

The novakons original soft stop goes to the breakout board. You can hook it up to an acorn input and configure it as an estop in the wizard. This will cease all outputs to the servo drives instantly. Cutting off the power to the servos is the secondary safety function and makes 100% sure motion sto...
