Hard wired button. If you add an ATC you would use a motion.digital pin in the ATC stubs to activate, but you would still need the manual button for hand the spindle to store in the carousel.

I have one DM556 driver that is capable of 4A RMS maximum.

That is all.

The rest seems to be triggered by this.

So I have a pneumatic atc spindle, with 4 pneumatic functions (unclamp, clamp, air blast and seal cleaning air(always on when machine runs)) and some sensors. But I don´t have an ATC carousel yet.

This means I have to load the tools manually, via the Tool tab, and by actuating some pneumatic valves by hand in order to get the tool to be released.
If I enable the ATC tab, I can also use the clamp / unclamp buttons (not sure yet if these are directly triggering the m64 P# or calling the subroutine. If subroutine, I could add logic over there)

What is the recommended way to manually load tools in Probe Basic?

Is there some dialog or button I can use to call the subroutine for clamping, airpulse and unclamping which I´m overlooking?
Or is the expectation that this is handled via a hardwired button, as long as no ATC is used?

Thank you Tommy,

Knew it would be simple, brain fog last night stopped me from thinking.

All up and running !!!

I'm about to move it all then begin on getting the new plasma settings dialed in later this week.

I would just run with what you have and save your money for now. You just might be surprised!
Just because a stepper motor is rated to 4.6 amps does not mean it will use all of that in your application.

For example, yesterday I did a motor design for gantry. The motors are rated to 2.0 amps but the calculations say it will use 1.3 amp peak and 1.0 amps RMS. So if I set the  drive to use 1.5 amps instead of 2.0 amps, it would make no difference to performance. 
The calcs say I need at least 48 volts to meet my design parameters

So here is a humble stepper able to run at 60 m/min rapids and 5 m/s/s accelleration on a basic 48 volt power supply. Initially, I thought I might need servos but I have a bunch of these Sanyo Denkis on hand.

One of my favorite movie quotes:

Yup, those should do just fine, i have 4 installed in a big router for probably 8-10 years, still working.
Although i think after DM556, the DM860 is the most counterfeit drive, ever.
But hey, the price is very good, to bad i can not buy them as i would get at least 20 right now. I have to pay the same price for the so called TB6600 and still be happy about it!
