vacuum solenoid actuator not being called at part placement

[Samuel Craven]

Hello,

I think this is probably just something I don't understand about the way actuators work, but I haven't been able to figure it out so I'm hoping you all can help me.

For some reason the nozzle 1 vacuum solenoid is not being actuated when a part is placed or discarded. In the nozzle setup, the correct actuator H1VAC is identified. If I manually actuate that valve in the jog panel, I can see it in the log, as shown below, but when the place or discard action occurs, the M801 command never shows up. I can also visually verify that it's not being actuated because the LED stays on and the nozzle still has suction. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong here.

machine: CHM-T36VA

Thanks!

I think you need to uncheck the Closes Vacuum Actuator checkbox. With it checked, OpenPnP assumes the Blow command also closes the vacuum valve. With it unchecked, OpenPnP should explicitly send the command to close the vacuum valve (in addition to sending the Blow command).
