I purchase a omnitech selexx pal with siemens controller 810d it's running the program through a Windows 98 computer. Please excuse my terminology if it isn't the correct wording.
I have trouble with the popup pins, I have read the documentation that the paper came with. In another post, it mentioned it was Code M81-M83 within the MDA window to make the pins work again after zeroing the Z axis. But on the documents that I have, it has M61 as "All Pop-Up Pin Up Enable" and M61 "All Pop-Up Pin Up Disable" and M71 and M72 for the second set. M83 is not listed, and it doesn’t do anything. Granted it was a different machine Omnitech Mate. So I am stuck.
After checking for any leaks in the system, clogs etc. None found. I can active the pins manually, but I can't get them to work from the computer. Others have mentioned that they installed a switch as a bypass, but I rather not deal with that just yet.
On another topic, I am curious on the process of reloading the PLC and NC is. I am in the dark and worried that it would take a few weeks to get back up. I would like to get ahead of any impending issues
Sidenote-
I have upgraded some key part in my windows 98 system.
My floppy drive to a Gotek usb floppy emulator- I can use a 128GB USB with no issues.
Cloned and transfer the Windows Partition to a PATA SSD hard drive, for speed, space and reliability.
