MPU11 with wireless mpg

[converterking]

Will the wireless mpg work with a mpu11 dc3iob cnc12 control? If yes, would I still be able to use the original pendant also?

[cncsnw]

Yes, it will. But it will require PLC program modifications.

What plc modifications would be needed with the 4.12 basic mill plc?

[cncsnw]

As far as I can tell, the dc3iob-basic file in the v4.12 package has been only minimally revised in the last 8 years, and has no support for the wireless MPG pendant.

At a minimum, someone needs to:
1) Incorporate a WirelessMpgStage with the MPG logic
2) Add logic, usually in JogPanelStage, to unpack the states of the 13 buttons
3) Add logic throughout JogPanelStage to respond to the buttons
4) If desired add logic, usually at the beginning of MainStage, to respond to the macro buttons
5) If you want the red button to be a Fault/Reset key, rather than just Cycle Cancel, then add logic in MainStage to manage a ResetSet bit.

It would be nice if the update incorporated the last 8 years' worth of improvements to fault reporting, error message display, keyboard jogging, etc.

There is a beta mpg vcp plc program that should work. One way or another your going to have to marry the two to keep your existing settings + add mpg.

Note cncnw is more familiar than I by several orders of magnitude.
