    Partner 1 Tool Changer Issues

    I'm working on getting my tool changer working again after having the control re-installed. For some reason everything seems mixed up, all the M codes don't do what they are supposed to. Here's a list of what they do:

    M19- makes a quick little noise/hum towards the back of the machine
    M20- nothing
    M21- Drum motor on/off quickly
    M22- Drawbar cycles up & down quickly, control waits for something
    M23- cycles plunger in carousel
    M24- cycles plunger in carousel, control waits on something
    M25- Spindle motor turns a hair
    M26- Spindle orient cylinder cycles quickly
    M27- nothing
    M28- nothing

    I thought maybe I put a wiring connector in the wrong place on the computer but everything appears to be in the correct location.
    I have a 6 pocket tool change with the plunger that comes down to lock over a cone on the turret.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Bob got back to me tonight, looks like the control was loaded with a different tool changer when he re-installed the software. He's looking for the plunger style software that's on my machine.
