Analog inputs on HAAS

[smoregrava]

Hi I'm in the prosess of bying a new CNC machinesenter. And I need analog input on the controll. We use the machines to deburr cast iron. And we have a little operator panel. where the operator of the machine can adjust the deburring very easy. Do any of you HAAS people know how to get an analog signal into the VF5/40 controll.

Here is a sample of an typical program i use on the Fagor 8055 control. I use this to move a additive zero point

G90 S7000 M3 M41
(ORGX58=0)
(ORGY58=0)
(ORGZ58=0)
( IF ANAI1 GE 0.0 ORGY58=0.6)
( IF ANAI1 GE 0.75 ORGY58=0.45)
( IF ANAI1 GE 1.2 ORGY58=0.3)
( IF ANAI1 GE 1.65 ORGY58=0.15)
( IF ANAI1 GE 2.0 ORGY58=0.0)
( IF ANAI1 GE 2.4 ORGY58=-0.15)
( IF ANAI1 GE 2.85 ORGY58=-0.3)
( IF ANAI1 GE 3.25 ORGY58=-0.45)
( IF ANAI1 GE 3.6 ORGY58=-0.6)

........... and so on

Analog no, but digital yes. There is no problem with digital because you can create the digital from an analog signal, or simply use something like a thumbwheel switch.

On newer machines HAAS has built in means to receive digital data for program modification. On older machines I could create a method to achieve this.

Also what would be the problem with keyboard input from the machine control panel. You have not told us what this analog input device is.
