Hi Marty,
is there any way to connect the turret sensors to the acorn headers instead to the DB25 port?

First you have two turret sensors, one for tool position 1 and the other that counts positions correct?
The issue is that your turret uses +5VDC logic. Acorn header inputs stand at +24VDC and need to be sunk to ground to activate.
You could run your turret sensors into this relay board:
DZS Elec 5V 2 Channel Relay Optocoupler Isolation Module Red Board 3-5V High and 0-1.5V Low Level Triggered Load AC 0-250V / DC 0-30V 10A SCM IO Control
by DZS Elec
Learn more:
Your run +5VDC to the DC+ and DC- terminals, and you run your turret signal lines to In1 and In2
And then use the dry contacts to ground the appropriate inputs:
3= Turret Sync Bit
4= Tool Position Bit 1

Re: Emco PC Turn 50 ATC issue
hi Marty,
yes correct i have two turret sensors
i ask because i accidentally wired my acorn wrong at the beginning and blow it up a friend could fix it really good include a new seedboard because the old one seems to be dead...but i have sadly a problem with the DB25 connection... i connected the +5V signals from the sensors to input 3 and 4 with the DB25. the LED`s are switching on the Acorn if they get an signal, but when i look in CNC12 on my diagnostic screen no signal is detected
maybe you know where the problem could be located (on the board)?

What exactly did you do to damage Acorn?

Re: Emco PC Turn 50 ATC issue
i just give the board a friend who want try to fix it and spend already some cash for the new seedboard and activation i just dont want to spend another 199$ plus tax and shipping to germany.
it was a stuppif mistake... i connected one GND wire to the turret control board.. but not an DC one... a AC one... and because of that it got an 220V voltage to the system

I wouldn't pay others to band-aid it.

Re: Emco PC Turn 50 ATC issue
How is the turret doing? I'm pretty sure we have the exact same turret. Check my thread "retrofitting emco PC turn 55". Got mine working last week.
