Hi Tom, finally had access to the machine yesterday and was able to timplement the door switch and the new init-script. First of all, thanks for all the help, it worked out pretty well:-) And yes, I was totally confused about the M3, M5 command... As shown in my screenshot, I actually did really use...

Hi Tom, M3 and m5 are configured to set bit 0 to 0 or 1 (pic attached),which is really weird, since this bit is supposed to switch electric power on a second 220V-plug, that I currently dont use (and where nothing is attached to); it does not have anything to do with the frequency converter.. M3_M5....

Hi Tom, ok, I see, will skip the abbreviation in the future:-)) The frequency-converter that drives the spindle is connected to a power plug that I control with Bit 1. So if i do ClearBit(1); I physically remove the Spindle from electricity (dont know how to formulate, I basically "unplug" it). The ...

Hi Tom, thanks! Ok, understood. The halt might (most likely) be issued within a GCode Block and I will be prompted in case I move away from the current location, perfect! Concerning spindle: yes, "FU" is the controller driving my spindle (sorry, I guess the abbreviation "FU" is german for "Frequenz-...

Hi Tom, great, removed the semicolon and included the debounce function. Really looking forward to test it on the machine soon.. I have two more questions if you dont mind.. After opening the door: if I remove Feedhold, the machine is still on Halt. Then I close the door. Then I move the axis in Kmo...

Dear Tom, again, thanks a lot. So my ini-file would curretly look like the one below (removed the "standard parts"). Does this seem somehow reasonable? I dont know though how to run the if(ReadBit(180)); ... ... only if the door is really closed; currently the if loop will be executed every timeslic...

Dear Tom, thanks again for the reply! You are right, I mixed up Feedhold and Halt.. Currently I think the following might be a good starting point for a first setup: When opening the door, perform: 1) Halt G Code (like F5) can you tell me whats the corresponding C-Code for that? 2) once halted, turn...

Dear Tom, I transfer my question and your reply to it from yahoo group to here (below), I guess and hope it will be much more convenient for you ! So... Thanks for the quick reply! Indeed, I did not really consdier all the possible events you mentioned, all very good questions.. To keep it as simple...
