The basic interface has the following features:
- Outputs:
- Two NO* relay contacts controlled by M21/M22 and M27/M28.
- Inputs:
- Two delay until condition met (grounded or not grounded) inputs checked by M91 or M92 and M93 or M94
- One jump to subroutine #1 input checked by M95 (grounded = jump subroutine)
- Clamp collet (hold at ground for ½ sec)
- Unclamp collet (hold at ground for ½ sec)
- Alarms:
- Door open on lathe
- If either lathe or loader faults, fault other.
- Spares:
- Two spare pins for optional sensor.
We will custom configure the Additional I/O interface to meet your specific needs, usually at no extra cost. The standard interface as illustrated here leaves m17 and m23 m-functions free to control NSK electric live-tool option. Normally Closed (NC) relay contacts can replace the NO contacts, or a mix of NO and NC contacts can be provided. Open collector outputs are available instead of one or both relay contacts, but these are limited to 12VDC operation. A parallel connector for the OmniTurn ZipLoader automatic bar and part loader can also be provided, so you can easily switch over from your custom automation to our ZipLoader.
