Connection Definitions
Auxiliary Outputs 1-4 are four sets of general purpose relay contacts.
1) These relay contacts can only be controlled through a MILLPWR pro-
gram.
2) They must be set (programmed) to be either ON, OFF or PULSED.
3) Devices programmed to switch “on” will remain “on” for entire pro-
gram, unless they are programmed to turn “off” later in the program.
4) Devices set to “pulse” will run for the length of time you define (refer
to page 23 for auxiliary function programming).
5) When the program stops, all relays will turn off.
Auxiliary Output 5 - In Position
In-Position. The Auxiliary Machine Interface (AMI) has the ability to send a
signal when
MILLPWR is “in position” for Position Drill steps and Hole pat-
tern steps which require manual Z-axis operation. This is when the table has
moved to either the X, Y coordinates of the position drill step or to each hole
of a hole pattern.
Output #5 (pins 13 through 15) are used for this function.
The In-Position function is configured through the AMI Outputs field under
Installation Setup. This can be set to ON, OFF or PULSED mode.
Note: For pulsed outputs, the cycle will complete before the pro-
gram will continue.
Pausing the program won’t affect the auxiliary functions. Each device will
continue to run normally. However,
MILLPWR , will shut off all relays auto-
matically when the program ends. To shut off a device earlier in the pro-
gram, insert another auxiliary step with the appropriate relay turned off.
