Title: Set Output when homing
Post by: Cos_phi on July 10, 2018, 04:50:33 PM

Hello!

I am new in this Forum.
I have build an 3 axis Portal milling with Mach3 Software and a Beckhoff PLC. The PLC is connected with all limit, reference and emergency switches and disable and enable the drives. My negative limit switch is also my reference switch. So the PLC has to know when the machine is homing. The easiest way would be to set an Output when the machine is homing.

Is there a way to realize this???

with best regs :)

I had a similar question which could have a similar answer - I need an output to come on when the "Start cycle" LED is on, so that the output is high while a program is running, it's for a slideway oiler.
