General Mach Discussion / Re: Problems with getting Mach 2 going properly

« on: June 21, 2006, 07:25:34 AM »

Was there a G28.1 at the start of the program? take that out and it will no longer do the homing in the Z

It may be that it can't cut the file faster because the machine can't accel that fast. Also you need to see that your max velocity is greater then 3000.

Hope that helps

General Mach Discussion / Re: Analog input using modbus device

« on: June 21, 2006, 07:19:03 AM »

each register is a holding register when you are doing analog. So for a DL05 PLC I know that 10V is 4096 and 0V is 0... so any voltage in that range will be a value in register 64 from 0 - 4096. If you had two analog inputs register 64 & register 65 would have values from 0 - 4096... As you can see it only takes one register to get one analog channel .

If you would like I can send you my address off line and  you could send a check..
Hope that works for you

Download the development version of the Mach3 and it will have Lcam as well Just write down all the ports and pins settings and enter them into mach3. This should be a very simple setup

Could you take a look at Mach3 LCAM is a better importer and is FREE 

You can have Mach3 and Mach2 on the same computer so you will not mess up the machine.
Thank you

To get the data from the analog input you look at the input register. So an analog register is read by Mach3 and is stored by Mach 3 till the next time mach3 reads the register. To get the data from the register you do the following:

 Getinput(64)

64 is the first register that you can use for an analog input register.

If it is an 32bit or 8 bit analog is going to change the max valuse that you get from the analog input...

hope that helps

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: suggestion

I put everything in the code to make it do this when I wrote it I didn't add it to the gialog because I didn't know if people would want it... (it is a bit of an old school thing)

Thanks

We are thinking about adding a plugin that will do transformations and inverse kinematics This is over a year out after the TCP modBus ...

You need to set up your ports and pins If you look you have all the Step and Direction pins set to 2 & 3... once you set them to what you have in Mach2 you should be up and running

I would think about a year or so... it could be less and I don't think it would be more.
