Should abort give an EStop in Mach?

[lfleiva]

Hi everyone,
I have several protections connected to the Abort of the Galil controller but when there the Galil is in Abort the Mach3 doesn't notice.  I suppose an abort from the controller should give an E-Stop in the Mach3 but it doesn't.  How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

Just jumper the abort input to any available Galil input and map it in ports and pins to the EStop.

Thanks for your reply!
I do have the Error output jumpered to an input and now I also jumpered the Abort line to the same line (being both TTL) and got it working.

It would be much better though to have Galil comunicating the Abort or Error condition by default and not need to "waste" a hardware Input.  Should be the same way as the home and limit inputs).

I agree, and looked into it after your last request. It appears that the AB input does not pass to the data record the same way as the inputs do and it just isn't possible to get it working without the jumpering that I told you about. Sorry, but it is a Galil / Mach3 thing, and I can't change it here.
