General Mach Discussion / feed hold switch question
« on: January 09, 2008, 08:43:54 PM »
I am trying to finish up the re-fitt of one of my machines from desk to mach and I am down to just the cycle start switch and feed hold.
Looking at the OEM codes I see 1000 for cycle start , is setup of this switch as simple as assigning the port and pin my cycle start switch is attached to at OEM Trig 1 in inputs/ports and pins along with 1000 in the hotkey window?
My feedhold switch is a normaly open latching type switch so in desk when its pushed in the pin its attached to is grounded and the feed is paused until the switch is pushed again , unlatching the switch and opening the circuit. is this the type switch needed to work with mach or do I just need a momentary like the cycle start and estop switches?
