Uwe, it makes a difference whether you have an Acorn or Oak control unit. Oak owners have to pay money for a modified plc. Acorn users get the modified plc for free. Every update of the software will overwrite the plc and then the madness begins.

Why isn't it possible to load the old PLC during a software update and only add the new features, which are then compiled automatically? Will it actually be easier if you have to pay for software version 5.40 or higher?

great.

Keith, that doesn't help me. I'd really like to use the backlash feature. I think I even paid for it, if I'm not mistaken.

without backlash function the machine has been running for a year without any errors

I have a problem with the backlash function. I entered the measured values, saved them and shut down the control completely and restarted it. When homing the axes, it stopped after Z. Error X axis position error. Turned the machine off again and restarted it. Now immediately the Z axis position ...

Calculation for A axis in the appendix, would also work for the C axis after adjustment.

The radius entered only influences the program with radius compensation
