MPG controller with a rotary encoder

I want to change the hand wheel from MPG controller with a rotary encoder, but the issue is that the software was limited at 15000 steps and after that, i need to let and push again the side button or change the axis/speed and let me another 15000. Theoretical these settings of 15000 can be … Read more

F+,F-, S+, S-, D+, D-

Basically we can run the program, we can move axis but, keys F+,F-, S+, S-, D+, D- does not working F+ F- is the feed value addition and subtraction S+ S- is the spindle speed plus and minus D+D- currently reserved, no function

Does it support end stops?

I have some questions about the SMC5-5-NN. Does it support end stops?A probe? Can you assign buttons? Eg: probe position, tool change position,Home? SMC5 does not support probes. Buttons that can be connected externally, on the IO setting menu G43 is only supported on SMC5 usage:Need to set tool data on the system Call G43 directly after selecting the tool in the program

Is it possible that he meant the ModBus interface?

the guy in this video said in the comments that he wired his proma thc to the MPG port of the controller.  https://youtu.be/Y8vRkYFuBqo  Is it possible that he meant the ModBus interface? Please send me a pinout of that port.  How else could a thc be wired to the controller? You advertised the controller as to be able to control plasma tables.  This one on the video is 4-axis, it doesn’t support MPG, nor ModBUS. It just connected the quick IO Only these functions can be connected externally I am not sure how to connect a “torch on” signal via the output ports.  I would like to do that with a relay but how do I tell the controller to send that signal via the connected port? Is that done in the G code?  Could you give me a short example please?  DC+ connects to power, DC- connects to GND, IN connects to OUTFor example, connect to OUT1Relay module is set to low effective M201G04P3000M101 This code is to close the relay after 3 seconds.The output of M10x is virtual high, which can be regarded as the internal electronic switch is turned off, and the output of M20x is low, which can be regarded as the internal electronic switch is turned on and the current flows into the ground (GND). X is the OUT port number It is better to use relay module instead of relay.The solid state relay is + connected to power supply, – connected to out port
