Help translating Tree/Acramatic to Centroid connections

[mbam]

I am almost done with my PC2100 to Centroid Oak conversion. There are a handful of connections related to the tool changer that I am not sure of and I hate to assume as you know what happens then.

Here is the list with what I hope are the proper connections. It also looks like I have some additional sensors. If all else fails I will power up the machine and hit the outputs manually and see what the sensors do. I don't know what clampend means so I am guessing it is a typo

Inputs

REF POINT ---- Carousel home
IMPULSE POINT ----- tool Counter
Carousel position left ---- Carousel out
Carousel position right----- Carousel in
CHECK UP TOOL ---- ??
CHECK UP POSITION ----- ??
Tool releasing ---- Tool release
Check up tool clampend ---- ??
Tool in spindle released ---- tool unclamped
Tool in spindle clampend ---- tool clamped

Outputs
CAROUSEL CW + UNBRAKE ---- Car fwd
CAROUSEL CCW ---- Car rev
CAROUSEL LEFT ---- Carousel out
CAROUSEL RIGHT ---- Carousel in
Tool in - spindle clamp & unclamp ----Tool unclamp

If you are using a Centroid PLC with umbrella ATC, I would follow it's schematic set and wire up the ATC accordingly. While I'm not familiar with your machine, some IO maybe unique to the old control and may not apply to the Centroid control with Umbrella ATC

CAROUSEL CCW ---- Car rev

If there is a brake on the carousel motor that is released with a separate output, then you will either need to add an output definitions and a couple lines of logic to the PLC program (so you can release the brake when running the carousel motor in either direction) or you will need to wire it through parallel N.O. auxiliary contacts on the reversing starters for the carousel motor.

Excellent point Marc, one that only comes with much experience.

I'd like to know how this project turns out....
