How to change output settings?

[mechaniac]

Hello all,

Since a few days i use a MODIO with Mach3 R2.61, everything works fine, but in the default settings, the outputs 1-4 are blinking and i want to disable this. I've checked the state of the register 103 with te modbus test monitor in Mach and can see, that the bits 1648 to 1651 are setted to 0. How can i change the settings to 1 ? It is not possible in the test monitor with a write instruction. Any idea to fix this, or is there another way to disable the blinking?

Hi Helmut,


You should be able to write to the config registers from the Modbus test page. Remember you can only write to 1 config register at a time

Also, you need to reset the ModIO after any change to the config registers in order for them to take effect.

Writing FF to register 103 should turn off the flashing to all outputs.

The Alternative way is to use the Modbus Config tab, acessed from the Modbus Config page.

Cheers,

Peter.
