how do I hook this up to the redline mini in out gizmo i got with the gen two. to make my vac work automatically. there now that was a straightforward question. please advise. a picture would be nice as well. thanks in advance.
What do we have to do inside the HMI i/o screen to get the setup to work after wiring is complete? anything? i hooked everything up and hit the bacon button for warm-up spindle came on but not the vacuum. is that normal ?
I probably said it wrong I did not mean open the HIM physically. what I meant was what are any configurations or setting i have to set to make this work? there is a button / screen that looks like this. and since i hooked up the vac to the input one on the mini I figured i had to click it to enable it? is that correct?
Not exactly. The buttons you have in your picture are for manual control of your vac. When it turns green, your vac should turn on. Press it again and the vac will turn off.
Out 1 can also be controlled with g-code M8 for on, M9 for off
Out 0 can also be controlled M7 for on, M9 for off
By the way, you can change the text in the buttons to something more meaningful like “vac” instead of “OUT 1”
well in that case I must have done something wrong because i pressed it and nothing happened back to the drawing board i guess.
Ok i found it first I did not have the switch on for the vac I turned it on and nothing I traced the wires and everything seemed to be right but the light on the in/out switch wasn’t on I pulled both green connectors and switched them and the vac came on went back to the HMI and looked and the output 1 and two seemed to have been switched in any case it works now with the io switching on the HMI. Now I just have to run a file and see if it works automatically or not.
