Use device manager to delete the device and its drivers. Then rescan for new devices, and allow it to reinstall the drivers.

That is exactly how soft limits work. They are based on machine coordinates and not work coordinates. If they are not working like that, then they are probably configured incorrectly. If you'd post a report file, we could see how they limits are configured. A video showing the behavior you think is ...

I would first verify that rigid tapping is working correctly by using Intercon. When all of the rigid tapping parameters are set correctly and verified with Intercon, then try it with F360.

That is your spindle encoder. See section 15.2.2 in the mill manual. You should also check P35 since you are no longer using the encoder input for a spindle encoder.

"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...

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!

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.

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