I hope you two guys don't mind if I jump in here. I need your help and you guys seem pretty knowledgeable on CamSoft. I work as a contactor for a large DOD plant and we have a few CamSoft systems here. Some were here before I arrived. The guys like them and we find their CNC systems more open and powerful than our Fanuc and Fagor controls. One of our big mills has Rapid override. We use a macro called [RAPID OVER RIDE UP] and [RAPID OVER RIDE DOWN] that we found in the MACRO.FIL file on the CamSoft CD. We can select from several different rapid speeds.
This is why I wrote. I have a need to control an actuator that has encoder feedback using the CamSoft CNC Professional. I know how to control axis motion using the GO command, but this actuator uses two relays to move the actuator in or out, not a servo or stepper. I have to position the actuator within a close tolerance and I know the CamSoft system has the power to do this by writing my own G codes or logic macros. My company is out of maintenance and doesn't have the money to resubscribe to support. The guys at CamSoft are great and they have still been helping me, but they say this is custom logic and would have to charge me. Would one of you may be able to help me?
