Spare Inputs

Post by Talyrond »

Hi,

I'm adding an external Cycle Start, Feed Hold and a Tool eject button to my Oak. I have one spare input IN16, so I need two more. Can I commandeer any of the existing inputs, for example high, mid or low gear? From what I read the limit switch inputs are effectively reserved, but I'm not sure if the same applies to any of the others. I understand that the PLC will need changing to remove existing functionality etc.

Thanks

Julian

On the Oak, you can use any input you want. PLC will have to be edited if you are using it for something other than the default.
Cheers,
