then you are writing to "coils" in the PLC, you need to write to a "Holding register", or user memory.  Then do a "Bit-of-word" operation on that register to grab the Tool requested, from there you can do compare statements that then activate your sensor for your Binary input patteren your looking for.

ok scott finally i did my tool changer and it seems it is working well i only have one problem by now when the tool finish it has to activate input 4 of mach 3 i am receiving a bit on the discrete but the input 4 is not activated i have enable input 4 on port 0 pin 1 but not sure if i done it right

you need to use Brains to bring in/ out, your modbus from Serial Plugin modbus.

Hi,

If you haven't already, go into the config menu Config->General Config and change the Toolchnge mode  to'Auto Tool Changer'

Cheers,

Peter.
