The only difference is that if you write a custom comp and install it,
only you have it.
They operate exactly the same as all the other com

Thanks Andy for your reply.
So I just finished adding an air line in my shop over to the Clausing NC
and wired up the I/O to the turret solenoid and motor. There are 4 limit
switches inside the turret and I didn't know what they were for so I just
connected them to inputs on my I/O card. I call th

It's pretty easy.
But Andy's component will be better probably
I can send you my classic ladder stuff though if you want
