    Haas indexer on Fadal -5 system using a m code.

    Anyone have any info on how to wire this into the machine with the haas m-function cable?
    There are spare m functions on one of the boards(1030 board? its the big board upper left corner), so a spare m-card doesnt look to needed.
    I thought I read something a while back but couldnt find it again.

    I have the control box and the hrt210 along with a cable from haas for m-functions.

    Thanks In advance.

    I should be able to just use the 1060 card using the airbrake relay to send a signal.
    I know about the 1050 card but the guy I use wont have them instock for a while.

    I did end up putting it for now on the super max, using one relay had to put a dwell in the program but it works fine. Relay kicks on sends signal to box and gets it indexing.

    If I am understanding this correctly the 1050 card in slot 16 is so you dont need to put a dwell in your program as it waits for a finished signal to the 4th axis controller before cutting?

    My solution to trigger the indexer, pretty simple, Buy a 12 volt relay, find an old
    12v transformer that charges a battery or was for a similar task, Plug the transformer
    in the mist coolant plug,

    Use m7 & m9 and some creative dwell programming to trigger the Haas indexer

    I know it does not sound too technical, but It has always worked here
