HiCON Motion Controller / Re: MPG Hand-Wheel-Controller Best Recommendation for Hicon Integra

« on: May 30, 2019, 06:19:45 AM »

Press the enable button on side of controller (whilst axis selector is in off position) ======= P14 2 lights up

means MPG0 Inc is selected

Press the enable button on side of controller (whilst axis selector is in x position) ======= P14 1 & 2 lights up at same time

means MPG0 X and MPG0 Inc is selected

Press the enable button on side of controller (whilst axis selector is in y position) ======= P14 2 & 3 lights up at same time

means MPG0 Y and MPG0 Inc is selected

Press the enable button on side of controller (whilst axis selector is in z position) ======= P14 2 & 5 lights up at same time

means MPG0 Z and MPG0 Inc is selected

Press the enable button on side of controller (whilst axis selector is in 4 position) ======= P14 2 lights up

means MPG0 Inc is selected but MPG0 A is not selected -> Looks like wiring problem

Press emergency stop button ======== P14 10 lights up

means E-Stop button is wired correctly but is is not assigned at the Moment we will have a look for this later

Turn wheel clockwise ===== P14 9 Flickers
Turn wheel anticlockwise ===== P14 8 Flickers

means the turn wheel seems to bee connected correct

Turn left black knob (OFF x Y Z 4) ======= nothing happens
Turn right black knob (x1 x10 x100) ======= nothing happens

i think you have to press the enable button hold it and turn the knob to see P14 1..x seen changing.

i also think you have to press an hold enable button during Operation.

Code: [Select]

- Vital Systems Hicon Integra MPG06ED at around $400/$450 (I remember the postage and duty for my controller was very high for whatever reason)

IMHO your pedant is a clone of the MPG06ED

Code: [Select]

But here's a question ….
If you plug the Vital Systems Hand-Wheel into the Hicon Integra Controller, don't you then have to configure all the pin inputs in Mach4?
the configuration i posted in REPLY#7 is from Vital System Manual and recomended for MPG06ED and should also work for your pedant.

back to the Basic question.

if you have a look to this: http://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/VBScript_Commands.pdf
Manual you will see that VBA and cypress VB script are very simular.

in this Manual: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=2ahUKEwjC4uDXyr7iAhVb8aYKHdLyA6gQFjACegQIAxAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.strojirenstvi.cz%2Fdownload%2Ffile.php%3Fid%3D56730&usg=AOvVaw2suuC-ECkZF7kK6JRlQfjA

you will find all Mach3 specific functions. there are also examples for the most needed things in there.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mill or Turn?

« on: May 27, 2019, 03:11:49 PM »

Using my bench PSU at 10v it was giving 2965rpm one way and 2971rpm the other.

It was also creeping with the inputs shorted out.

I ran the auto zero speed set function which killed most of the creep.

Then adjusted the gain to 305rpm/V

It now gives 3000rpm forwards and backwards.

Did it fix the issue?

No
