Perfect! That's what I'm looking for. Do you know if there any other CIM commands other than the ones mentioned (MACHINE FROM, STATUS, etc)? Is there a document, part of a manual, or anything else that goes into this feature?

I need more than discrete I/O control (even if I wanted to this wouldn't work since all my I/O is tied up with the tool changer and I don't have an additional I/O card in the control). I want to be able to selectively choose (via another computer) what program to run in VR Milling and to remotely (v...

Is it possible to control a Triac (2000 model) via a serial port? I actually want to have a program other than VR Milling to control the mill. Currently, I have a robot loading and unloading it and would like to run a number of parts not just the same one over and over. If so, can the entire program...

What is the pin out for the auxillary I/O on the Triac VMC so that I can control other devices via the M-codes? I have the Triac with the tool changer.

I am looking to use a robot to load/unload my Mirac. The only thing preventing this is my Mirac has a three jaw chuck that requires a person to use a key to open and close the chuck.

Does anyone know of a powered chuck that can be put on the Mirac and controlled using an output(s)?

I have a subprogram that mills a design in my part. It uses variables that I define in my main program. I want to put block skips on all the lines (tool change, positioning, speeds, feeds, sub program call, etc.) related to cutting this design so I can control which parts will receive the design and...

I am writing a subprogram using variables in absolute mode and inches. I am checking where the machine is currently positioned in X and Y using the sytem variables #4101 and #4102. The system variables return values that appear to be metric and also possibly based on machine coordinates. Is there a ...

After doing a 3D simulation in VR Turning for my Mirac, I can do everything but pan the image. I can zoom, rotate, slice, measure, but it won't pan. I am using the right mouse button and dragging left/right, but no pan. Any ideas? I know my right mouse button is working correctly since I am using it...
