Re: 4th axis

Post by CrossfireX »

HI everyone, sorry to hijack, but I have a golden sun rotary table with Yaskawa drive, I'm in the process of converting from Anilam to Centroid Oak, and I cannot for the life of me find any wiring diagram, schematic, or tech bulletin that shows the connections to the Oak board (clamp solenoid, Clamp pressure switch, home switch). I may have missed it, but I've wasted a few hours trolling schematics and searching on the Centroid site and I'm coming up with nothing. Anyone got any info?

Thanks everyone

Jason

Here's how I have my rotary connected to my AllIn1DC. I also modified my PLC program to check the clamp pressure feedback after a short delay.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Thank you for that, I know absolutely nothing about editing plc but it looks like I’m about to take a crash course... that schematic is the most detailed one I’ve seen for the 4th axis, thanks for that.

Remember, that's for an AllIn1DC not an Acorn, but it should give you something to get started with.

Thanks I'm using Oak, but like you said, it should point me in the right direction.
