That is your spindle encoder.

Re: Linear Scale, cant set in CNC12
"Scales" is for position feedback and you need Ultimate for that. If you just want to display the output on a DRO, you need to set it up as a manual axis. I don't believe the Wizard can do this, but you can do it through Setup for the axis, and parameters to use the spindle encoder port fo...

Re: the custom crafter motor controller
Unfortunately, no details about the control on that page, but the "10 rpm increments" implies that it's some sort of digital interface. Acorn wouldn't be able to control that if so.
Hopefully if they sell one, they can then afford to buy a spell checker.

If you look at most of the stock Centroid PLC programs, Marc is the one who wrote them!

Re: Acorn single axis
I don't see why you would need micron precision for a shaper, and therefore why you would need scale feedback. Up/down control is no different than any other axis with Acorn, and once revs/in is correctly calibrated, you will have your DRO position with plenty of accuracy.

Or, if you have to have software pairing, replace it with an Acorn6.

Re: Undefined PLC Messages
If you are going to restore the report you posted, make sure you re-install 5.08 and not 5.1.

Re: Undefined PLC Messages
The easiest way is to do a re-install carefully following these instructions: https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/centroid_cnc12_download/cnc12_v5.0_install_instructions.pdf Or, since the exe installer is just a Zip file, you can open it with something like 7Zip, and extract the plc m...

Re: Undefined PLC Messages
If you had included a report, we could check that the plc message file matched the plc file that was loaded. These undefined messages usually occur because the PLC file and the message file are from different revisions or configurations.

Re: Z Axis lag - Loosing position
If the Z-axis moves with power off, then you will lose position. Do you have a brake on the Z-axis motor?
