I need to trigger an air operated indexer from my Dialog 4 control. I'd like to control 2 independently if possible, but I can link them together if I have to. Are there contactors in the cabinet I can use for this, or can I add contactors? I can use normally open contacts for a trigger, or I can use voltage like 24V, I just have to use the appropriate air solenoid on the indexers. The best setup would include a feedback circuit, the indexers have a contact to indicate that the index is completed so the machine can continue, that eliminates just programming dwells and hoping nothing goes wrong.
I also need to turn a 110V device on at the beginning and off at the end of the program.
This is my FP7, which does not have the connections on the X axis for accessories.
Then once the connections are made, how do you program them? Are there extra M codes available?
Has anyone been through this?
