Wired probing/tool setting is now available for the 1500!

For any 1500 customers, wired probing/tool setting is now available with 2.14.0.

Couple notes:

  • The same connector is used, you will need an adapter cable (PN 54753). The adapter ends in M12 connectors, not DIN connectors. The shipment of the adapters will arrive next week.

  • It’s either wireless or wired, you can’t mix a wireless probe with wired tool setter.

  • There’s a behavior change with wired probes/tool setters, Pathpilot will not recognize the signal from them if you just plug it in. You must command M44 (probe)/M46 (ETS) for the signals to be recognized and M45/M47 to turn them off. Those commands are automatically part of T99/G37.

Thank you,

Norman

Thanks so much for the heads up! That is great news! I currently have a few $$ investmented in a Centroid probe and TT I would like to put to use. Can you please provide the pin out information for this M12 connector. Lastly, can you confirm what voltage Path Pilot uses for the control voltage and if the Tormach probes/tool setters are normally open or normally closed?

That should give me all the information I need.

Thanks… Richard

For anyone coming across this thread later here is a diagram of the connections needed for the M12 connectors.
