This 6-station turret outputs two control signals.

• The first signal is the home position signal, which indicates that Tool 1 is in position.
• The second signal is the pulse signal, which pulses once on each tool change and is used to count the tool position as the turret rotates.

Setting up the Tool Changer

• Go to the F1-Setup screen
• Open the Tool Changer window
• Press Enter to open the Tool Changer list
• Select EMCO PC55 Turn - 6 Station Turret from the list

Tool Changer Logic

When a tool change is requested:

• MASSO sets Tool Changer - Output 1 HIGH
  • This rotates the turret clockwise until the selected tool is in position
• Once the tool is in position:
  • Tool Changer - Output 1 goes LOW

Syntax

The following syntax is used for Tool Changer inputs and outputs:

• “Tool Changer - Output 1” means Tool Changer - 1 and it is an output
• “Tool Changer - Input 1” means Tool Changer - 1 and it is an input

Note: Any tool changer input or output can be assigned to any Input or Output on MASSO. The tool changer number does not refer to a physical input or output port.

Input Signals

Wire the sensor inputs and assign them in MASSO as follows:

• Tool Changer - Input 1 for turret home signal
• Tool Changer - Input 2 for tool change pulse signal

Output Signals

Wire the turret control electronics CW signal to any free output on MASSO and assign it in the OUTPUTS list as:
