Is there a schematic for wiring a hand wheel MPG encoders? Any documents for mpg pendant?

Hello.

Chuck will post a typical hard wired MPG(s) to AcornSix specific schematic here tomorrow.

are you doing dual handwheels on a lathe? or?

for the Wireless pendant the WMPG-4/6 is selectable in the AcornSix Wizard, easy peasy.

Yes dual Hand wheels for the lathe.

with joy stick?

And a Joystick for jog. And axis selector.

Why do you need an axis selector, if you have dual handwheels (one handwheel per axis)?

True

Sorry I meant for step selector.

x1, x10, x100 selections are on the VCP

and you can add a rotary switch that would wire into AcornSix inputs to work in place of or in conjunction with the VCP.

This would require some minor custom PLC programming to look at the inputs being used (wired to the rotary switch) to the determine x1,x10,x100 selection
