List of Configurable Inputs

Different functions can be assigned to inputs in the F1 Settings screen. These can be used to set up functions such as:

 

  • Homing sensors
  • Cycle start buttons
  • Inputs to automatically load G-code files from a USB flash drive
  • Tool changer sensor inputs

 

 

INFORMATION: All input signals can be inverted by selecting the input in the INPUTS list and pressing the spacebar key on the keyboard. These settings are automatically saved.

 


INFORMATION: All MASSO inputs are optically isolated and will trigger with input voltages from +5V to +24V.

 


INFORMATION: Some inputs used for external buttons require the button to remain pressed for 1 second before the input is accepted. This is used to safeguard against accidental operation.
