Many machines utilize mist and coolant outputs on the machine. The output signals for them are called Coolant On
and Mist On. They can be controlled in gcode files with M07 (mist) and M08 (coolant), with M09 turning both outputs
off.
The process for assigning analog I/O to analog signals is identical for inputs and outputs. The instructions below are for
the 16 bit Beckhoff analog I/O cards. For other cards or non-standard use, see
.
1. On the menu bar, click Configure -> Control, then select the Analog Inputs tab.
For analog outputs, select the Analog Outputs tab instead.
2. Select the Device that owns the I/O point from the drop down.
3. Select the Analog Name from the drop down.
4. Set the Numerator to 100.
5. Set the Denominator to 65535.
6. Set the Offset to 0.
7. Give the signal a User Description that describes what the signal represents. This description will be used
throughout the control. If no description is given, the signal name will be used.
8. Press Apply to save any changes and OK to close the configuration window.
