I am operating a quantum cnc vertical machine centre with an Anilam 6000m controller.
The machine has 2 colant pumps , 1 is the main pump that sits in the coolant tray and is controlled with a M08 command.
The other is a secondary pump fitted to allow through coolant with a rotary adapter with a side coolant entry.
On the main control keyboard there are buttons for manual control of each pump, but I cannot control pump 2 with a command.
Have looked through the manuals and have contacted the machine tool supplier, not very helpful.
Anyone have any ideas?

It's tricky, but if you can get into the PLC menu then into the EDIT mode, you can look for a file called GLB_PLCCFG.DEF and look through the M-code section to see if there is a special M-code assigned to the second coolant. It will look like this:
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* M-Function

Tim,
Thanks for the info, with help from the machine supplier it had been listed as a M38 code.

Andrew.
