I like the idea of updating
Looking at getting another machine as a backup for this product, then I would be more comfortable with updating

I have reached out to Tech Support and they are going to look and see if they can help.

If they can and the price is reasonable, I will have them do it.

Thanks

SO you are suggesting I replace the existing PLC program with standard new one?

Not sure why I would/should do that instead of modifying the existing unless its hard to do?
I hate doing anything more than necessary because in my experience it always causes more problems

I don't use Output 6 "Clamp" so I tested M10 and M11and I am NOT getting a definitive ON or OFF?
I have connected 2 wires to the ...

I did some research and found the YouTube videos of PLC programing.
I believe I have it figured out.
Thanks

I am adding a function to my mill and would like to use the Aux9 output contactor, calling it up with an M Code in program (Both ON & OFF)?
Aux9 output is currently actuated by Aux3 Key.
This was used for a spindle brake pneumatic solenoid long before I acquired it (Don't need or use).

Not sure how ...

Ok Thanks
That makes sense
I will try changing the number
O's are in most of my programs because my Fanuc controls require it

Will not run graph either

I am getting an MPG encoder error, but everything seems to work fine.
Also have a program that will not run "Abnormal End of Job"?
Checked other programs and they have the same end to the program.

Attached program 3333 is the one that gives error and 3336 runs fine.
These are both engraving ...
