In the plc code there is code to align orientation of the spindle before tool change. I do not require and orientation with my HSK63F tools, nor do I have encoder or input. Can I just toggle the state of orientation, or will it have a negative effect elsewhere in function?
Like always thanks, I see the end in sight.

Re: Carousel PLC
Figured out 2 issues, many of the macros were not in the CMM directory, and the mfunc**.Mac files point to specific inputs and outputs. Will sift thru tmrw and fix

Re: Carousel PLC
You should not need to change the PLC code to remove orient. Just the mfucn macros. There is probably a call to M19 and wait for orientation complete following it. Most likely in the M6 tool change macro, or possibly in the prepare for tool change macro (M17?). You could just comment out all orient requests.
