I needed to use enable outputs and assigned Enable#1 pin 1 and Enable#2 to pin 14.
Only Enable#1 worked.
I then tried all Enable outputs on different pins and only Enable#1 and Enable#3 worked

Also i need to assign some outputs for miscellaneous tasks

Can anyone help

Should work fine the way you had it, does enable3 work with Pin 14?
For the general outputs what are you wanting to set up as that will determine how you do it, there are OEM triggers and Outputs but what you are wanting will depend on what you use.

Hi Hood

Yes Enable#3 works with pin 14
The problem lies with the other enable outputs. Maybe they are switched off from somewhere in the program.
As for the outputs i just neede to know how t set these up say if i wanted a light or an extract fan.
Your help is much apreciated

By the way Hood do you ever get any sleep ?

Spnar

Yes, just woken up, its morning here
Will have to think about  Enable 2 not working, have something in the back of my head thats telling me there has been mention of it before but cant think of it at the moment.
 How would you be wanting to switch on the light or fan and when would you want them on? might be better to have these done in your machines wiring rather than with an output, for example on my lathe I have the fans coming on when my servo drives are powered up, same with the light, if I hit the E-Stop button that switches off everything on the lathe including drives, fans lights etc.
 You can make up buttons on screen to work outputs, you can use for instance the coolant button to do this (if you dont use it for coolant ), you could use a macro and either use a button or G Code to switch it via the macro, could use a brain in a similar fashion, just so many ways to do things its not easy to tell you how unless we know what you want and when you want. We know you want fans and lights but when you are wanting them to operate determines how you will do things.

Say i wanted to have the fans on as soon as i start a program how would
i activate an output from Gcode ?

Spnar

Yes you could write a custom macro and save it in your profiles macro folder
 You would have something like
ActivateSignal (OutPut4)

And if you saved it as M234.M1S then when you called M234 in your G Code or from the MDI line it would switch it on, you would then need  to switch it off again, you could have another macro to do that
DeActivateSignal (OutPut4)
and call that for example M235.M1S so call M235 at the end of your code would switch it off again.

You could also make a VB button in screen4 for your screen and have some VB to switch it on and off from the button.
If GetOemLED (77) Then
 DeactivateSignal (OutPut4)
 Else
 ActivateSignal (Output4)
End If

That would look at the output 4 LED and if its on it would switch the Output Off or  if its off then it would switch it on.

Thanks Hood
A great help as always.
If you happen to be coming on holiday to Malta remember i owe you a couple of beers.

I have also noticed the enable outputs do not all work.   I got around it by using a different output.  I do believe there is a problem somewhere in the code where only a couple of the enable outputs will work and actually turn on
the specified output pins.  I noticed this in Mach Turn,  haven't checked Mill.

Hi Zarzul

Ok that makes two of us .
I only needed two enable outputs as i am working on mach turn.
I am still looking to find a way to disable drive when there is no step signal.
This feature allows the drives and motors to operate much cooler.
The reduction gearing is usually enough so that the tool remains in position.

At least that is what i have experienced on my very home made mill
