I tried adding G4 P1.5 to the next line under the M95 /4 and get no pause.
Hello, Can you create a new fresh report and send it so we can see the modifications you made. Adding a G4 should cause a small pause.
Taking your earlier provided report, i modified both your M10 and M11 with a G4 of 1.5 seconds and are attached here. Place them into your C:\cncm directory and that should work. If not then please send a fresh report.

I tried the macros this morning and still no pause. Attached is a new report.
To test this i have been going to MIDI and typing in: M10 then cycle start to apply the brake. Then Typing in M11 A180 then cycle start and I get an "instant" stall with no pause before the stall. I even entered P3.5 into the macro and no pause.
It sounds like the PLC program is wrong then. The "board" has output 6 labeled as the clamp so that's what its hooked up to. How do I go about changing the PLC program? and, why does the brake lock and release if the macro's both say output 4?? Now I'm really confused.
CNCSNW,
You were correct, after doing it on the second line the pause is there. THANK YOU!! I just ran a test program center drilling on 3 sides of a part and it worked great!
Your mfunc11.mac file turns off output #4, but your PLC defines out6 as clamp. Which output is the clamp solenoid connected to?
This is not correct. The M10/M11 macros and the PLC program use M function request #4 (SV_M94_M95_4) to control a "Clamp" output on OUT6.
M function request numbers do not have to match either the M function number or the affected output. They are just a bucket of available bits, that can be used for any purpose in any order.
