Hi everybody..
Whell I'm busy retrofitting an emco compact5 cnc.
The retrofit is going fine but i like to add a feature which I have problems with..
I fitted a new 3-phase motor on my lathe and I'm controlling it with an inverter...
I also added 2 MPG handwheels (which I connected to a second lpt)
The next thing i would like add is a spindle controll switch... the meaning for the 2 MPG handwheels is that I also can turn manually..
I'd like to enter a spindle speed and use a 3-position switch for controlling the spindle on.. Fwd or revers.. or in the middle off.
The problem is that I cant find the oem-codes for those functions... How i like it to work is to turn the switch in a position.. and the spindle turns fwd.. turn it t the middle and the spindle stops.... turn it one klick further and the spindle turns rev.
I found an oem code to toggle the spindle rev but is there any possibuility to controll it like I described?
Many thanks for any reply's
