Thanks

Re: set up 4th Axis
Do you have instructions for the control box?
Can you identify two wires that need to be closed together to start an index; and two wires that the control box will close together to show that the index is complete?
On an M400S with a DC3IO, the most common arrangement would be to connect the first two wires -- the index start signal -- to the "Clamp" output relay (OUT30, on H11), being sure to remove any pre-existing 120VAC connection from the relay terminals; and to wire the second two wires -- the completion signal -- to the "Rotary Ack" input (INP31 and Input Common, on H13).
Often there was an M12 code already provided that would trigger a rotary index and wait for completion.

I have the manual for the controller box it has a cycle start and cycle finish connection (4 pin plug )
and a RS 232 connection
and a RS 232 connection
Re: set up 4th Axis
My earlier post should cover what you need.
If you need further help, post a Report from your system, and a picture of the existing I/O wiring on the left side of your DC3IO unit.

Define the control box. Is it the HAAS stand alone controller that came with the HA5C?
Pictures are worth THOUSANDS of words.
Personally, I would ditch the control box and get a 4th axis from Centroid and let the Centroid Software control it.
But, that's me....
