Tool Changer Help!

When I use the additional port on the P.E the tool n dust port both stop working
I currently have my additional port controlling my atc dust boot
but now I can’t get tools changes in manual mode (haven’t trued any other way). any suggestions ?

ps- input 8 is on high so the additional port is always on
input 7 (chuck clamp - low ( if in high and input 8 is in Low, air escapes tru the spindle)
I can get it to work but at the cost of the additional port being off

Tool Changer 2 (input 8) is the tool absent/tool present sensor.
It being high means that there is a tool installed.

Check to make sure that these are inverted with the word “Yes” on the input line.

To change tools manually is a process.
First you need to change it to Manual Tool Change, where you selected “Linear Tool Change”.
Then in the MDI screen on Program screen (F2) type “TxM6” where x is the tool number you wish to change to. You will need to change to a tool that is allocated a slot before proceeding to ATC mode or else you’ll recieve this error Tool to unload is not set to any slot

If you have not yet assigned your tools tool numbers in masso, you will need to do that in the F4 screen.

I would either upload a video here demonstrating or sending in a ticket to support@pwncnc.com with a video demonstrating.
