Digital output module add

#1 · 1 March 2025, 03:22

Hello.

I'm retrofitting an old mill with csmio-a. The digital output of the controller is insufficient due to the spindle speed setting. Is there a way to add it?

I don't understand what you mean.

Explain what spindle signal you're talking about.

Hello.
I misunderstood the expression. It is not a change in spindle speed, but a change in gearbox that determines the spindle speed. Mikcron milling has 18 stages of gearboxes, just like Dekel milling. The actual command to change this will be executed in the PLC, but I understand that the command to change the gearbox at some stage, such as a code like S1000, should be done in Simcnc. Since the PLC can only receive digital inputs at the moment, at least 18 digital outputs are required in csmio for the 18-stage gearbox change command. That is why I asked if it is possible to add a digital output module.
Thank you.
