I got it working the CSMIO ENC I change my mind and I made a encoder 200pulses that comes 800 pulses per revolution it seems it is working excellent even the dro (true spindle) it is exectly as the speed command value now I notice that I have a problem on the coolant pump and I will shortly test the machine
about the softlimits are they working on the mach3 turn?

I managed resolve the spindle I installed a analog to analog isolated card and now the spindle is changing direction and very smooth now I need to install the encoder on the CSMIO ENC I have a 2500p/r would this be ok for the ENC?
the turret now it is indexing but I still need to fine tune the script so the only thing left is the encoder on the spindle and I will do some test

i think i manage to make a macro for the turret it seems it is working at home i will try it on the machine tomorrow
now the big issue  is the spindle i have to find a way to make it working also i have the spindle with the encoder so i have to see how to connect that to the spindle csmio extention

Sub Main()

NewTool = GetSelectedTool()
OldTool = GetCurrentTool()
MaxToolNum = 7 'Max number of tools for the changer

While NewTool > MaxToolNum
NewTool = Question ("Enter New Tool Number up to " & MaxToolNum)
Wend

If NewTool = OldTool Or NewTool = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If

If OldTool <> NewTool Then
While Slot <> NewTool
ActivateSignal(OUTPUT3) 'start rotating forward
If IsActive(INPUT3) And Not IsActive(INPUT2) And Not IsActive (INPUT1) Then
Slot = 1
End If
If Not IsActive(INPUT3) And IsActive(INPUT2) And Not IsActive (INPUT1) Then
Slot = 2
End If
If IsActive(INPUT3) And IsActive(INPUT2) And Not IsActive (INPUT1) Then
Slot = 3
End If
If Not IsActive(INPUT3) And Not IsActive(INPUT2) And IsActive(INPUT1) Then
Slot = 4
End If
If IsActive(INPUT3) And Not IsActive(INPUT2) And IsActive(INPUT1) Then
Slot = 5
End If
If Not IsActive(INPUT3) And IsActive(INPUT2) And IsActive(INPUT1) Then
Slot = 6
End If
If IsActive(INPUT3) And IsActive(INPUT2) And IsActive (INPUT1) Then
Slot = 7
End If
Wend
Sleep(100)
DeActivateSignal(OUTPUT3) 'stop rotating forward, rotate backward now
Sleep (100)
ActivateSignal(OUTPUT4)
Sleep (3000)
DeActivateSignal(OUTPUT4)
End If

SetOEMDRO(824,NewTool)
Code "G4 P2" 'A pause time of 2 seconds to give your reverse turret time to seat
While IsMoving
Wend

End Sub
Main

dear hood
I manage to make the analog working as you said it was to enable the spindle motor control and pwm as shown in the pic but I still have a long way to go first I notice that the analog output on the csmio is not isolated so the drive is not working properly cause it is getting the reference from the common I don't know if there is any kind of board to isolate the analog from the csmio and send to drive
the drive works fine if I use a battery and it change the direction when I invert the +/-

I also have the turret issue which is a barufaldi 7 position and it works as follow
T1 INPUT 17
T2 INPUT     18
T3 INPUT 17 18
T4 INPUT          19
T5 INPUT 17     19
T6 INPUT      18 19
T7 INPUT 17 18 19
OUTPUT 7 to turn turret
OUTPUT 8 to lock turret
I will try to have a search maybe I find a macro ready

no it is not the case cause my drive do not accept step&dir as far as i know the drive is a BBC brown boveri
by the way thanks for your reply i will have an other go tomorrow

i will check that tomorrow but i have same drive with +/- 10v so i have to make a relay to invert the signal too
can i work with the step&dir intead of analog and keep same drive?

hi guys
i been using csmio ips for a few machines now but these machines i never needed the analog out put before and this time i am making a retrofit on a big lathe my problem is that i enabled the analog output from the plugin and i setup the spindle pulley there is no output voltage there even when i go to check on the plugin the bar for the analog output 0 it remains 0 so there is no output to the spindle drive
do i am missing something?
