DIG3D.LP.M

[zhult]

Hello all. I am trying to collect a DIG3D.LP.M probe. i had it working with my old controller but havent gotten it working with masso yet. any help is greatly welcomed. Thanks you

Not sure if you have already seen/used this resource, but it has helped me identify the correct wiring for my sensors. It may be applicable to the probe as it is also basically a switch.

You need to connect a 5.6k resistor between 24v and input and invert the input logic.
MASSO's inputs are wired differently to the drawing you supplied. The optocoupler LED is connected to ground, so you need to supply positive signal to input.

This probe can be order with either N.O or N.C with either NPN or PNP output
Wiring to MASSO will depending on which one you order.
Wiring for both versions are shown below.
Invert the Probe input logic as needed to show Low when the probe is idle and High when Triggered

Hi I just received my Dig3D today, just to confirm if I am understanding this correctly basically 5.6k as jumper from power to input along with the output wire from dig3d on masso ?

Thanks for any help.

I just realized I reserved a spot in this topic and forgot to make a drawing as I planned.
I have now added drawings to post 4 of this topic showing how both versions of the touch probe should be wired.
Just choose the one that is correct for your touch probe version.
Cheers Peter

Thank you, very helpful

Is there a reason why someone would prefer the NPN/NO or the PNP/NC version?

The difference between PNP and NPN is the output contact is connected to positive or negative supply.

• The output of a PNP device can be directly connected to a MASSO input.
• For a NPN device the MASSO input will also require a pull-up resistor.

Both styles of devices can be made to work with MASSO, the PNP are slightly easier.

Personally I would use PNP/NC as it is fail safe and easier to wire.
If you forget to connect the magnetic probe connector before probing, fail safe wiring will prevent the probing from starting while a non fail safe option will not know the probe is disconnected and it will crush the probe like a bug.

I agree. I ordered this model yesterday.
