NOTE: You may also add new terminal boards if needed. Please refer to the wiring diagram for the
proper witing layout.
Step 4: Test and run the program. Make sure that no other programs are affected when you run your
new program.
TO ADD MORE PROGRAMMING TO THE MACHINE
If you require to add more programming to the control system, make sure that you have a clear idea
in mind. Also consider the number of I/O bits that will be used to run the program. You may need
to use a MES 7I37 board that can handle more complex programming. To add the hardware
components, please follow the simple steps on how to add simple turn on/off programs.
This operation requires software programming skills and is for more advanced users.
To add the program into the control system HAL file, you have to go to this location on the EZ-Trol
II software:
/home/smithy/emc2/config/smithy/machine used
Where “machine used” is the type of machine you are using. For instance if you have
SmithyCNC1240 you will need to find this location:
/home/smithy/emc2/config/smithy/cnc1240
From that location, you will input the program and add it on the control system’s list of operation.
We recommend that you read the HAL user’s guide and the EMC2 developer’s guide to know more
aobut this operation. Or you may call us at Toll Free 1-800-476-4849 for more help.
