Title: how can I communicate my own PLC board with MACH3 ?
Post by: magnetron on September 20, 2016, 03:44:11 AM

hello dear Forum,

I try to comunicate my own designed PLC board with MACH3 MODBUS
( here the picture -> http://www.oem-plc.com/index14.htm )

I succeded to communicate - data is coming and going to the PLC board

my question is;
I want the axis not move during toolchange

Is there a FeedHold input to MACH3 that I can use during toolchange ?
which DRO number is NextTool ?
how can I tell the PLC that a toolchange is needed ?
how can I tell MACH3 that tool is changed ?
where in BRAINS are these ?

thank you
