Shut the system down, Acorn, Ether1616, switch etc.
Start the CNCPC and catch up on your Windows updates, make sure you have them all updated.

When that is done, power off the PC.
Start the Ethernet switch, Acorn, Ether1616

Then power up the PC
Start CNC12. You should get a message that Ether1616 was detected, Acknowledge the message.
Once CNC12 has fully started, go into the Wizard Input screen. Ether1616 should be available to populate with inputs.

Post a fresh report when you have done all the above.

The report shows a lot of communication errors, such as
"452 Ethernet Communication Error, CNCPC to controller. See Tech Bulletin 270" and
"945 PC requested resend # 1"

These should be resolved before adding the extra complexity of the ETH1616. The first thing to try is removing the Ethernet cables from the cable tracks and away from power wires.

My cncpc detected the ether1616 card, the problem was windows update, it has been reset and updated, the first time i turn everything back on the 1616 card showed up onthe wizard window.

Mr. Marty

i have my ether1616 card already working now, i have plenty of inputs and outputs, can i use now some of this output tocontrol the ATC and save my 4th axis? i had my 4th axis for ATC before adding the 1616 card, what you suggest me

Ether1616 provides more inputs and outputs. It does not provide for another Axis.

it is the Acorn.SRC file. It can be edited and then must be compiled.
Once compiled it becomes the mpu.plc file which is NOT editable.

Info in the PLC Programming manual.

Be sure you know what you are doing....otherwise hire someone like Marc Leonard (cncsnw) or Centroid to do your PLC work.

Actually we paid one hour tech support to centroid friday but it was late in and could not get contact with them, hope monday we be able to contact someone from centroid.
Where i can get in contact with Marc Leonard? Just in case i need to, the only thing i need to get this job done is the automatic tool changer but yes plc it is for someone else.
Thanks
