Enabling The Spindle Fault Inputs
If the spindle fault circuitry is used, invert the spindle fault input (which was inverted during board level testing). In the main menu
press alt + I to bring up the real time I/O display. Press the ctrl + alt + I keys simultaneously to remove any bars over the input in
the display. This will enable the spindle inputs.
Enable Spindle Encoder Parameters
If a spindle encoder is being connected to the OAK, modify the following parameters as specified in the CNC12 Operator's
Manual.
Parameter Description
34 Spindle Encoder Counts/Rev Dependent on Line Count of Spindle Encoder (Line x 4)
35 Spindle Encoder Axis Number 6
78 Spindle Speed Display and Operations 1
Parameters 65-67 – Spindle Gear Ratios
These parameters tell the control the gear ratios for a multi-range spindle. Up to four speed ranges are supported; high range is
the default. Parameters 65-67 specify the gear ratio for each lower range, relative to high range. For example, if the machine is a
mill with a dual range spindle, and the spindle in low range turns 1/10 the speed it turns in high range, then parameter 65 should
be set to 0.1.
Parameter 65 is the low range gear ratio.
Note: Some machines use a Back Gear, if one is in use then the low range gear ratio will need to be a negative
value.
Parameter 66 is the medium-low range gear ratio.
Parameter 67 is the medium-high range gear ratio.
These parameters work in conjunction with the PLC program, which uses the states of INP63 and INP64 to signal to the CNC10
software which range is in effect, according to the table below.
