Hello everyone,

I am looking for help on how to integrate bar feeder to CNC Control.
We have a Fanuc controller with Takisawa Taiwan EX-108 CNC lathe.
What I looking for is how to program, what lines of codes to use it to see, if bar feeder is in place(in line, engaged). And not out. I understand that I have to install some kind of a proxy switch to make sure bar is in place, therefore i am looking somehow to recognize this in the program.
So, when operator will press a "Cycle start button", program will not start, unless the proxy switch is made.
We would like to implement this, so operator will always use a bar feeder, no any other choices.
Any Ideas. Looking for quick responses.
Thank you in advance.
