Greetings fellow Acorn users, and thanks to all who provide feedback on this forum. I've got a problem with my outputs that I can't figure out.
I can get outputs 2-4 to fire from CNC 12. For example, if I set output 2 = coolant pump, then press the coolant icon the relay 2 opens fires. Same for outputs 3-4. If I set output 5 to coolant pump, the relay do not fire. Something is not configured correctly for relays 5-8. It's not specific to coolant, same problem for any function I assign.
If I use the ALT-I screen to view the I/O directly, I can manually fire relays 1-8 using cntrl-alt-f. So this tells me they are working. Although my output status indicators have three states.
1 Red circle (off)
2 Red circle with line under it (what does this mean)
3 Green circle (on)
When I press cntrl-alt-f the indicator cycles between the three states. My Centroid documentation does not describe this. Any ideas what is going on? I upgraded to the newest version of CNC12, but have the same issue.
Thanks,
Walt

PLC diagnostic screen documentation is here.

anytime an output is not working 99.9% of the time the user has left the Output disabled in the PLC diagnostic screen.

Re: Outputs 5-8 don't fire from Virtual Control Panel
is the control on the bench or install on the machine?

Re: Outputs 5-8 don't fire from Virtual Control Panel
Very strange, now its working fine. I went back and removed the output assignment (using the wizard) then re-added them. I also manually inverted 5-8, then manually un-inverted them in the diagnostic screen. This also involved a couple of power cycles and software re-starts. Works now.
Thanks guys.
Walt
