Retrofit lathe with ANILAM CRUSADE ML with ATC

There are some threads about the ANILAM CRUSADE M controls, but I have not found any information about the CRUSADE ML controls, which are for lathes. When verifying the technical information, the hardware is similar to that used in milling machines, and on that side there is no problem. The problem is that I can't find any technical information about the automatic tool changer, and it doesn't have any identification plate that comes with the lathe I'm trying to retrofit. I sent a photo to see if anyone has any type of technical information about this ATC.

Have you managed to work out what the electrical connections are?
Is the TC hydraulic or electric? I can see at least one sensor, which looks like clamp-unclamp sensing?

If you can make it turn, then you can probably work out what the sensors are.

 [Thanks for your response, I already found the manufacturer and model. The model is TOE 100 and is manufactured by Baruffaldi. It's electric. I think I can control it with its carousell component. What I don't know is how to add the necessary time pauses, as indicated in the flow chart for the case of motor rotation reversal.

The "decel-time" pin might be enough?

I have a problem with the carousel component on my turret.Initially it changes the first tool without problem. The first photo is when the tool change has not been requested and the carousel indicates that the active tool is

1. 

When the command is given to change change tool, for example M6 T2 G43, the component works as expected, that is, it is activated, it indicates which tool has been selected, the motor is activated depending on which is the shortest path, as shown photo 2. 



When the turret reaches the selected tool position, T2 in this case, the component does what it has to do: "The component will monitor the carousel position and, when the correct position is reached, set the motor-control pins to 0, set "active" to 0 and set "ready" to 1." as shown in photo 3. 

 

The problem is when the order is given to change to another tool, for example T4, the component no longer works, it does not receive the tool and remains as shown in photo 4. The carousel is not enabled, it is not activated, the pins iocontrol does not change the tool that was selected, etc. 

.

I attach the hal file with which I control the turret. I really don't understand the reason why you only receive the first tool, if it is working well for me on another computer. I don't know if it's because it's an older version of the carousel. And the only way to receive another tool is to close LCN.

This looks like tool 4 is not in the tool table and has no allocated pocket.
It could be other things, but that is my first guess.

I am mainly basing this on *.tool-prep-pocket being zero.

No, in the tool table I have 11, this problem happens regardless of the tool that is selected.

There is definitely a problem with the new version of the carousel component. I tried to use my lathe that has a turret and in which this component is working without problem and now it does not work, it has the same problem, it only changes the first tool when LCN starts from there on it does not change the tool. I am using version 2.10.0~pre0.3017.gb7ad470576

This issue had already been reported here github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2726 and apparently it happens with the LCN 2.10 version.

The problem is definitely not in the carousel component, the problem is in version 2.10 of LCN. I reinstalled version 2.9.2 and it works fine.
