Tools 116 & 117
To change to a Pen tool, issue a T116 M06 or T117 M06 command in MDI. This command should also be included in your G-code file to ensure the correct screen is selected when the program runs.
The X, Y, and Z offsets relative to another head can be entered in the Multi-Head Settings page.
A Pen Up/Down output is provided for each pen and can be assigned to one of the MASSO TTL outputs.

Pen Logic
Example commands:
T116 M06 – Select Pen 1T117 M06 – Select Pen 2
Only one pen can be used at a time.
The corresponding Pen Up/Down output will go High, pushing the pen down into position.
If a different tool is selected, the Pen Up/Down output will go Low, retracting the pen to the idle position.
A button is available on the F2 screen when Pen 1 or Pen 2 is selected, allowing the user to move the pen up and down as required.
Wiring a Pen
This example shows the wiring for Pen 1 and Pen 2.
The pens are moved into position using pneumatic cylinders, with air solenoids supplying air to the cylinders.
If a linear actuator is used instead, the relay would connect directly to the actuator and be wired accordingly.
