Hi Gary,glbreil wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 11:50 am Just wanted to let you know that I found some really good information about the CHNC turret on another thread ( https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic. ... ret#p79025 ) and I now I think I have a good understanding of what will need to happen with the wiring for the the inputs and outputs to control it and the sequence of how the solenoids fire. What I didn't find anywhere yet is how those inputs and outputs are programmed for the actual control to know when to fire according to the encoder position. I will continue to dig, because I imagine that the information is here somewhere already. If some one knows where to find it that would be appreciated.
Thanks Gary
I remember that thread. Marc (CNCSNW) gives some good details on how the turret works and how to control it. The programming would be done in the PLC. There is a PLC program in the report he attached to the linked post that could be useful. I would ask him if you could take those sections and put them into the Hickory PLC. Probably the most painless option is to hire Marc to write the PLC program.
