On my Bridgeport Interact 2 mill, I have a maintained switch that turns on either flood or mist coolant (MIST-OFF-FLOOD).
The flood coolant is run by a pump that sits in the sump in the mill's body. I have for now wired it so that I turn flood on and off from EMC (GUI or G-code). Control from GUI works great. The MIST-OFF-FLOOD switch is not operational. It does nothing. I have not wired it in any way. I would like to wire it with HALUI and I want to make sure that I do it in a way that is not stupid. Here are my requirements: 1) If flood is set to ON on the maintained switch, then maintain flood coolant whenever spindle runs. 2) If flood is set to OFF, then just do as G code says or according to a GUI input. Does this make sense at all? Is that a dumb way to control flood coolant? How would you suggest I do this with HALUI. I have not yet even started hooking up any halui things, but now is the time to really do it, as the rest of the mill is working.
