Hello.....me again.
I was testing some more programming today, and noticed that my turret will only index in the clockwise (looking at front of turret) direction. If I have a tool change that requires it to rotate ccw ( to get there by the quickest route) , it just sits there and waits with the turret disengaged. After waiting long enough, I get some kind of index alarm.
If I push the reset button and then go back to manual, the turret will then rotate cw all the way to the tool that it should have went to in auto. (The long way around)
I assumed that the turret would choose whatever direction was the fastest to its next tool.
Specifically......If I run a pgm that has tool 1 up first.....it will happily go there as long as the cw direction is the fastest route. If ccw is the fastest route.....nothing happens after the turret opens. I can go to manual, and rotate the turret so that the next tool 1 will be reached the fastest by cw.....everything works fine.
Could this be a parameter issue?
