Chiron FZ12W tool changer with spindle rotation?

Hi guys,

my retrofit is almost done i programmed the tool-changer in classic ladder the only thing left is to rotate the spindle with 223rpm when making a tool change.

how can i programm that?, in hal maybe? andwhat should it look like?

the best thing for me is an output in classic ladder wich i switch from false to true, then the spindle starts rotating clockwise at 223rpm is that possible?.

i hope you understand what i want

One option would be the mux2 component with:

in0 connected to motion.spindle-speed
in1 set to 223
out connected to whatever controls your spindle speed
sel connected to your classic ladder bit

thx for the fast response,

im not familiar with mux2 component do you have any examples?

maybe with classic ladder connections?

Not sure if you have done any hal programming , but if not, this is a good introduction:

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/basic_hal.html

For a (very short) manual for the mux2 component:

man mux2

in a terminal window

the only things iv'e done in hal was linking signals from mesa cards and to classic ladder
the basic hal pages is for me like chinese and the exampels

the things i know so far is that i need to load mux2 with this commmand

loadrt mux2 count=2

i have to set new signalt right?!

one in bit for true false and one for Spindle speed with u32?

newsig in0 bit
newsig in1 u32

then i can set motion.spindle-speed with in1 ?

how do i link these and how do they interact with classic ladder sry im an noob i need ur help

the whole should act like this:

classic ladder OutXX=true
-->
Hal file:

if classic ladder OutXX=true
motion.spindle-speed 223
else classic ladder OutXX=false
Stop Spindle
endif

sry for such many questions ^^

Probably more like this:

loadrt mux2 count= 1
addf mux2.0 servo-thread

net running-spindle-speed motion.spindle-speed-out => mux2.0.in0
setp mux2.0.in1 223
net spindle-speed mux2.0.out => whatever-sets-the-hardware-spindle-speed
net select-orient-speed some-classic-ladder-output-bit => mux2.0.sel

Hi,

thx alot PCW for your help Works perfectly i will upload a video and photos from the finished retrofit soon.
