Configuring an automatic oil pump

if your machine has a device that needs to be periodically switched on during use, such as an oil pump, you can use the service feature to automate this this feature will toggle an output as long as the cnc software is on, regardless of the machine's state configuration you can configure this feature under pump parameters in the service tab the configuration items are item description pump interval time amount of time that the output is switched off (time between pump action) pump pulse time amount of time that the output is switched on (duration of one pump action) pump output aux output to be switched on/off by this feature pump time to next value is a status value that can be used to check how much time is left until the output is switched on i e time until the next pump action it is required to press the save button to apply the configuration example let's assume that there is an oil pump device that we can power on with a relay the relay is wired to aux5 output on our cnc controller and we would like the pump to turn on for 3 seconds every hour in this example, the configuration to achieve this would be item value pump interval time 3597 pump pulse time 3 pump output aux5
