Fryer et-18 easy turn Lathe: AcornSix, USBBOB, plcext1616 does not work <resolved switch to advanced i/o>

Post by Angelo DiCenso »

Hello cnckeith and friends; I have installed a PLCEXT1616 I/O extension card.
centroid cnc 12 recognizes the card (on the acorn wizard) and the led does not show any error number it blinks with the 3 negative sign. Just like the AcornSix.
On a (control I) the AcornSix 16 I/O are there, the USBBOB I/O are there but no PLCEXT1616.
I am using 24v for all the 4 blocks so no sim's are installed.

Any suggestions
thank you

Set P422=1 for the full PLC Diagnositics and look to see if the inputs are there.

If the I/O is not shown on the simplified <Alt-I> screen, you may have to change to Advanced PLC Diagnostics screen. Change parameter 422 to 1 to show Advanced PLC Diagnostics (all I/O).

Thank you suntravel and eng199 for your very quick response
I set P422 to 1 it was at 0
I can now see the I/O's on the screen and they work.
The card still has no functional LED'd on the INPUTS and the OUTPUTS but the Main led shows no errors.
any fixes for that, or is the card bad ?

PLCEXP1616 doesn't have input and output LED indicators. It was designed to go with a less colorful control system. At some point, it will be updated to include all the lights found on newer designs.

eng199; if you are correct, on the board layout it specifically shows all the LED, page 7 of the PLCEXP1616 user guide. Why do they do this?? just to confuse us.

It is probably my fault. Did you get that from here:
https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic. ... plcexp1616
where I accidentally put up the wrong one?
