ESS and multiple probe inputs

[dazp1976]

Malheureusement, j’écris mieux en anglais! En particulier, quand on a besoin de parler des trucs techniques…

I have just checked some of my macros and I definitely have a copy of M6end.m1s which has a "setdatainput" command in it. Unfortunately, I have replaced the original Ethernet SmoothStepper in my CNC mill with a UC300ETH and changed from Mach3 to UCCNC at the same time so I cannot do any testing. Perhaps there is an issue with the .066 french version? I believe that this command is only implemented in .066 but perhaps the French version is not identical? I do not know if there is any chance that you could test using the English version?

Do the probes only activate an input if contact is made?.
As in the input is not active when probes not in use?.
Usually classed as NO connection.

If uccnc can't do multi:
A workaround in this case could be connecting probes / setters to an optocoupler module and connecting the module outputs in parallel to a single input on the UC300eth.
Any one of the opto channels going active will activate the uc300 input.

Or something like that.

Most of my control system is 24v, I use cheapish 24v npn/pnp input > 5v npn output opto mudules directly onto the inputs of ports 4 & 5.
On the outputs of 4 & 5, I use 5v pnp/npn in > 24v npn out.
They work a treat for switching.
