Spindle Contactor Brain, with Delay.........

[poppabear]

A user had a question on if he wants his m3 and m4 to set a direction output first, then a delay then another output to pull in a contactor, for a larger machine.
Here is a "Brain" that does it.
If using Output1 as your M3, Output2 as M4, and Output3 to pull in your contactor.
Under Ports and Pins, under the spindle tab, you will have to enable "relays" Output1 for M3, and Output2 for M4.
Leave the M3, 4, and 5 macro's in thier original states so they wont conflict with the brain.
The "Timer" delay is set to "1" second you can use Brian editor to modify the timer.

Brain attached,

I have made up a brain to do somewhat the same.I want to shift high/low
by the value entred in the speed dro or as an m3/m4.I'm using a bob that has relays
 for the spindle output 1 & 2.My brain runs fine on my test bench, dwell works ,inputs are required to
activate. However on the machine as soon as it has a spindle on command it bypasses the brain and
activates the relays for the spindle on.Meanwhile the brain is running corectly in the background.?
On the diagnostic page the spindle is running before the output led is lit?

ok this gets wierder.I made up a one line brain that turns on the spindle
with a 5 sec delay.The start relays closed as soon as spinle run pressed.
I then turned off the output and the relay would still close on
a spindle start.I put in a bogus number for the start relays and it still worked.
Now I'm really confused.
