Additional I/O are available for all versions of the OmniTurn, GT-75, GT-Jr and attachments. They can be added to machines with normal spindle drives or C axis. The PLC is supplied on a panel with marked terminals.
The OmniTurn control can read inputs and set outputs on the PLC. Simple M functions can be configured with programs configurable by the end user.
Common Uses
Simple automatic loaders: The PLC and configuration of M functions can be used to drive simple automatic loaders. If the loader is complex and requires a non linear sequence with times or counters, then do not rely on this option. Use a separate PLC and contact the factory for information on interfacing with the OmniTurn.
Magazine Barfeed: The PLC kit is perfect for interfacing the OmniTurn to a magazine bar feed. The OmniTurn has built in a conditional M function that is used for an end of bar sequence.
