I think there is a list of 10 last used programs and they are stored in the XML files.

They look something like this:-  <MRU1>C:\Mach3\GCode\roadrunner.tap</MRU1>

You need to read up on MODBUS assuming your PLC has that function

General Mach Discussion / Re: spindle speed doesnt reset (mach 3)
« on: November 28, 2019, 09:59:53 AM »
For a start the only place you should have % is the first and last line of your code.

Lathe has 2 spindle modes G97 constant speed and G96 constant surface speed.

In your code you have not told it which you want so it may be in G96 by default so as the diameter reduces the speed rises.

so I would try G97 Snnn M3 and see if that helps.

No, it never happened but I did do one for education that may be worth a look.

Is your spindle controlled by a 0-10V or PWM signal?

Not sure what you are asking about the 4th axis feed
