Spindle Encoder cannot be set to "No"

Post by gperezm »

Hello when I am configuring in Wizard, the Spindle Setup is always in the option "Yes" and although I change it to "NO" and save the change, when I read the configuration again it is in "Yes". I need this because I want to work with this option from my program. It is worth mentioning that I have an Optimum BF20L Milling Machine with Variator. which in turn has output for CNC. I bought an Acorn card and CNC12 Pro milling software and built my own CNC server.
Could you help me with this problem? Thanks in advance.

Just a thought here:

Check and make sure the Rigid Tap option is not" on". If it is, I think the encoder option will always be yes.

Thanks Dave for your support.
The option "Rigit Tapping" was on and disable it, then change the option from "Spindle Encorder" that was on Yes to No and then save both changes.
When I reopen Spindle Setup, the "Spindle Encoder" option is set to Yes, it's crazy.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Yes,
You NEED to post a fresh report when you ask for support. It tells us how you have the machine configured.(F7 Utilities, F7 Create Report)
Have you done ALL configuration via the Wizard?
