Denford Triac Carousel ATC

[Greg]

Yes I redact that statement. A report would be helpful. I am no expert so I like to keep things simple. I still think a slightly modified macro should control this ATC easily.

[Chaz]

Ill get a report. The ATC is working but directly from the Main Board (its not 100% finished but functionally it works), not using the External Outputs as I cannot activate them (other than forced).

[Chaz]

Report attached. I can see in the .src file the outputs on Eth1616 are mapped.

Oddly the M6 file isnt correct but I have a backup (I use OUTPUT 5 etc onwards) as I'm struggling to address the Eth1616 Board.

As you can see, you do not have any of the "M94M951nn" tokens assigned to physical outputs. They are all "parked" on a memory bit, which in turn is not used for anything.

That is why, for example, "M94/117" does not change any output.

Thanks. So how does this get set? Do I need to edit the .src and recompile? I would have assumed once these are assigned in the Wizard, no further action would be needed? This works for the main output board, why not the Eth1616?

in the Wizard output menu under the "custom" drop down you can assign M94M95 to any output (ether1616 included)

Thanks. Ill take a look at this later. Is this documented anywhere? So, for anyone needing to use Eth1616's outputs via M codes, would need to do this?

See page 13:
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... s_v4.8.pdf

That page does not specifically mention the Ether1616, because those functions are not limited to the Ether1616 outputs; nor are any of the other functions prohibited from Ether1616 outputs. You put the functions you want on the outputs you want, using the Wizard.

I'm back on this machine to finish off the install as Ive needed to get the plates made and installed for the motor mounts.

Some really odd issues.

MPG is on, nothing on the screen.

The ATC macro doesnt work. Even running something like M94 /65 to switch on an output doesnt work (in the macro or via MDI). *NEVERMIND* - fixed, back to the OUTPUT definitions ....

However it looks like the MPG has died. Has anyone seen one where the screen illuminates however there is no text and it doesnt respond to any buttons etc?
