Title: Spindle Fault and Low Lube not Working
Post by: RPM1956 on December 16, 2010, 07:39:38 PM

Hello

I have a Bridgeport Series 2 mill running with AJAX control MPU11, DC3IOB board and MACH 3 software. Just found out Spindle Fault and Low Lube are not working. Spindle overload kicked out and spindle stopped but feed kept running. Low Lube does nothing. Looks like both are wired per diagram. Is this a config issue or do I need a brain to turn these on? Need some HELP!

HIYA RPM those are ajax specific questions might be best to ask them.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Any idea how they come into Mach? in other words are there port and pin numbers set up or is it another way?

No idea! I've looked through manual and found nothing on that.

What details are there, maybe if you can attach the manual and indicate which page so I dont have to trawl through it ;)

I glanced at teh manual and see not see anything specific there are a LOT of brains, ModIO and plugin callls. I'l  take another look later tonight to see IF I can spot anything for yall.

They bring those inputs in throught the PLC side so I am guessing it comes out and goes into MACH as a MODIO function thru a brain. Without the PLC ladder or the modio map it is anyone's guess

I did see where you asked on their forum . Shame they are not willing to better support you there.  Someone aught to give them a good talking to about support AFTER the sale.

Found I/O map page 10 maybe this will help. Thanks to all for the input.

Not sure if thats helping much from first looks as I dont see any mention of how it gets seen internally in Mach.

That show you were on the board to land the inputs shuch as low lube and spindle fault BUT it does not show how that is mapped to Mach via the Modio using the brains to transfer it to mach internally.

my guess is it uses a brain BUT what mod address is it mapping to and to what input is it mapped to in mach config???

I'll keep poking at it BUT your best bet is to call AJAX. They are the ones that created the interface and they may be the ONLY one to have that info.
