My ESS usually works well, but today I used Mach3's 'Feed Hold', which I have not used before.
My CNC machine didn't stop moving immediately, which I believe is expected with the ESS.
When I restarted the feed, it continued for about ten seconds, then stopped with an ESS watchdog timeout.
I have the timeout set to 3.1 seconds and the ESS update rate set to 250KHz.
Any ideas? I will try to reproduce the problem tomorrow.
Secondly, what's the correct restart procedure? Have I lost position when this happens?
Thanks,
Tom
