hi there i need some help on emco pc 5 lathe tool turret.

Turret working principal : it has two output signals one for tool position and second for home position(home signal and tool no 1 signal position are same)  and use two input signals for run dc motor when both signals true motor run forward and when one signal is false and second is true the motor run reverse (reverse for locking position) basically turret working method is when we call any tool  like tool number 3 turret rotate from home position (in this case home signal true and tool no 1 signal is also  true) and it cross over tool no 3 and then rotate reverse for locking position.  

Problem: i don't know how to use  Carousel with configuration of turret and how to add it in hal file. i also make a ledder program but turret not working on some toole numbers any help.

Thanks.

Well, "carousel" really should be able to run this changer.

However you will need a little bit of extra HAL logic for the FWD / REV outputs. use an "or2" HAL component to turn on motor control pin 2 if carousel fwd OR rev is true, and connect pin 1 directly to carousel fwd.

Sample carousel HAL code is here:

Though that is rather more complex than you probably need if you have no interlocks etc.
