Re: Emco Pc turn 50

Today I test with timer (found schematic, instruction file). Wiring, setting parameters. When in MDI I put "m18" (turret indexing), I have a message "Waiting for memory #51 (M101). Output 2 (turret rotate) not activated.

What is it ?

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

No worries, you are so helpful !

I will try time based turret, using ToolSyncbit at toolhome, and don't use second sensor. I think it will be easier, schematic is the same (I will use acorn input), and in instructions files, I have to put time in ms.

Hope I can try that tomorrow !

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

No problem marty don't apologize. Yes, both relays turn on and off, input 3 get green when Tool 1 is in position (turret sync bit), but input 4 stay red (tool position bit 1 or turret tool counter). It's the same problem without relays. I will connect to acorn input terminal relays. Maybe set the tu...

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

Hi Marty. I use the schematic for emco pc55, and instructions in file, but instructions file says about 4 bits sensors on E point, so what I have to do with these following points E, F, G, H on 1st page of instructions ? Yes, with Ali+i, and ctrl alt F on output 2, Turret rotates, and relays opening...

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

Hello ! Some news today. Wire done, no problems. Input 3 green for tool 1 (tool sync) it's ok, but input 4 (tool position) never green (always red), but relay works fine with sensor for each tool. Maybe a parameter in wizard ? (tested with "tool counter" and "tool position bit 1")

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

Ok, so 5V/com on DC+ and DC-, sensor output on input relay board, ok for jumper, and there is NC, COM and NO on the other side, so relay COM to power supply COM, and output NC or NO to acorn input. I'm good ?

Re: Emco Pc turn 50

No problems marty ;)

No relays not wired, because I d'ont know how wiring them. Wich one goes to DC+ and DC- ? IN goes to acorn input ?
