Hi I am retrofitting an old Lathe with a ACORN and Ether1616
I has a hydraulic 8 tool changer
I need help with the setup of the tool changer
the tool position sensor is same as many Fanuc controlled machines I have done a map of the outputs (included )
It needs 4 Relays controlled
1 Turret open
2 Fast CW
3 Fast CCW
4 Slow
And 2 switches
1 Turret open
2 Turret closed
The the process is
1Turret open
2 Turret Fast in the shortest direction CW/CCW to the tool number
3 When the tool number is detected on outputs 1-7
4 Turret slows till output 0 is triggered
5 Turret closes
I need help please with Input and output assignments on the acorn/ether1616 boards ( i have not assigned any out/ins as yet )
Probably a new PLC program
Changes to setting in the program

Regards
Peter Wood NZ
