Hello LinkCNC Issue 1: There is a known issue with the WMPG and a probe will cause this issue. We are working on it and should be fixed in the next rev. Issue 2: For Safety, VFDZeroSpeed must be ON (Green on the Alt-I screen) to Unclamp the Tool. It is likely that your ZeroSpeed Input is inhibiting ...

This appears to be an issue with the ATC wizard menu, not giving the option to change the TT after each tool option.

To work around this, can manually set Parameter 160 to 1. You will need to Initialize the ATC after doing so in V4.99.

Thanks for pointing it out.

As far as G31 functionality I would like it to "store" skip position on the fly instead of having to touch and back-off of the part and since the probe input is specified in the parameters you would not need to use the "Pxxx" argument. Just trying to understand what your asking....

Hello Sword, It is possible to add a LED Output your self, here is what i would do. In the acorn_XXX_plc.src (XXX is mill, plasma, router, lathe), can add the following code. ;Add Following to Output Definitions section of PLC SpindleCoolingFanLED IS OUT1141 ;Ensure this Output is not used already i...

or perhaps by simplifying the logic so that the VCP key turns LaserAlignActivate_SV on and off, instead of having its own independent status bit to maintain. This logic is changed to something similar i think you are suggesting in the upcoming V4.99 rev 4 beta (V5.00 release). Will likely correct f...

Hello T2bul, What are you trying to accomplish, it might be easier to read out the value in G-Code. For Example, #100 = 0 #101 = 5 M225 #100 "Value of #101 is %.0f" #101 This will produce a message indefinitely saying "Value of #101 is 5" on screen in this example. These % comman...

Thinking about this the next day, these inserts have a 0.2mm nose radius, so the Z offsets will end up being a total of 0.4mm different than would be measured by a ball nosed DTI probing the X axis end of the insert tip. So I guess this makes the Z offset problem closer to 9.60mm rather than 10.00m...

Thanks for the reply Chris. I found a plug in for Notepad++ that lets me compare the original PLC before and after the changes were made to make the turret work. It highlights the changes. Some are straight forward some are in blocks and a little confusing. My question is a lot of the edits are in ...

This appears to be a bug in the Beta software, been able to replicate it. It seems to effect any probe that is Open when tripped.

Currently working on a solution, may take some time.

Hello Upnorth, Your particular PLC changes are not included in the PLC provided in the V4.8 ATC files. I can look into updating it for you for V4.80 or even including it in the next iterations of the ATC files. If you wish to try and update it your self, Most of the changes revolved around the ToolT...
