Hello,
I'm fairly new to Delta tau so forgive me if my questions seems stupid.
I'm in the process of converting my mill from a PMAC-PC (ISA) to the UMAC based Turbo PMAC.
my config in the UMAC -box is as follows:
-ACC-54-USB
-PMAC Turbo
-ACC-24E2A four ports
-ACC-11E I/O
-ACC-36E analog inputs (spare for now)
-ACC-E1
this all in a 16 slot enclosure.
I have another ACC24E2A four-port version and an ACC24E2A two port version on spare.
- WSDI BPU-S5 for X, Y and spare
- WSDI BLU-S1 for Z and spare.
-Bell-Everman Lowboy 1060 on the X-Axis
-Bell-Everman Lowboy 760 on the Y-Axis
-NEAT/Parker slide with Servo on the Z-Axis
Tuning was no problem, loop is tight and stable.
Limit switches are working and installed, home switches are working but have to be installed yet (soon)
I/O, I am able to manually switch-on/off ports on the ACC-11E via M-codes in the terminal window of PMAC-NC.
I/O, I am able to detect input signals on the ACC-11E also.
I have already succesfully setup the system for use with the latest version of PMAC-NC Pro2
I am running PMAC-NC Pro2 on a computer with the software control only.
I am able to run g-code progs and the machine is executing them in a correct way.
Axis set-up is correct.
My questions are:
- How do I implement the manual control of the spindle on/off (M7024) for the software control panel?
I did try to insert it into the cntlpanel.plc but that did not work.
- I would like to connect an manual pulse generator (handwheel) with A and B outputs.
I understand from the forum that I could use my fourth ACC-24E2A Encoder input for this.
Nice! but how?
I probably also need to set-up an PLC for this, again how?
as you probably have guessed I'm not a professional user but I have learned by doing (and making mistakes) and
have come a long way since my first start with the PMAC-PC.
Converting to the UMAC system was a big thing and I'm almost there now, just these extra little things to make
it perfect.
any comments would be higly appreciated!
Regards, Otto.
