General Mach Discussion / Re: Macro pauses my program

« on: November 30, 2020, 02:17:20 AM »

simple answer: no

every macro call will Interrupt continious movement. so only Chance is to to call the teh macro
when your bit it not cutting material.

-in your Special case (MaxNC controler board) the PIC is reading and handling the encorder, and only the PIC,
Mach3 knows nothing about this Encoder.

-in a good tuned stepper System it is normaly not necessary to use encoder's

-anyhow there there are stepper Motor drivers on the market witch can handle Encoders. then they are
closed Loop. Leadshine is only one example:
http://www.leadshine.com/ProductSubType.aspx?type=products&category=closed-loop-steppers&producttype=closed-loop-stepper-drives&subtype=general-closed-loop-stepper-drives

but also here, only the stepper drives reads/handles the Encoder, not Mach3

if you put the code in a custom macro like M100, it Needs to be called in G-Code every time you want to Change
the analog Output, and Motion will stop on every macro call.

that is why i was talking about macropump macro, this is a macro witch is running in Background, and it will
read the B-Axis Position every 10ms and write the analog Output, and because it is running in Background,
it will not pause Motion.

your controlbox has a cslab csmio/IP-M Controller. it is controlled via Ethernet

here: https://en.cs-lab.eu/technical-support/download/manuals-firmware-plugin/csmio-series-manuals-and-firmware-plugin/csmioip-m-user-manuals-download/

is a Manual witch Shows, how to connect the Controller to your Laptop. Win10 64bit should be ok.

in my posted link (https://en.cs-lab.eu/digital-and-analog-ios-configuration-its-easy/)
you can see analog Output Need's a value 0-4095 for 0-10V

so 0-100 (b-axis Position DRO(5)) multiplied by 4.095 will bring the result.

you can put the posted code into macropump.m1s (make sure macropump is enabled in
General config) and it should work.

hello Eric,

as Tweakie sayed any usage of S word or also a custom macro call will interupt constant movement.

so the only way is to use an "unused" axis and read the axis Position via macropump or a brain and
write the analog out manualy.

here:https://en.cs-lab.eu/digital-and-analog-ios-configuration-its-easy/
is a Diagramm, witch Shows the adresses and ranges of the analog Outputs.

a code example for macropump would be:

Code: [Select]


'convert B-axis Position 0-100 to 0-10V on analog output1
SetModOutput(81,GetDro(4)*4.095)


but the update time will be about 10ms

ok tryed to find an answer for the question:

why are we not able to run X-axis on the A channel?

here is the answer: https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=202.0

sorry did not know about this.

that means you have to get the X-channel back working.
i would start with the Change of the DM7400N, maybe the burnt TP120 has also destroyed the Output
of the DM7400N.
