General Mach Discussion / TCP Modbus I/O organizational documents for your use...........

« on: December 31, 2007, 04:47:03 PM »

I am working on a Large Machine with alot of TCP/Modbus I/O.  I had to track alot of info on what was what, and where it went and what it did.

So, I made a MS Word TCP Output Mapping document and a TCP Input Mapping document. Both are set up as tables and are editable for your use. Just Change the information at the Top to reflect your situation. The one I put up is for using 2 PLC's one for input and one for output.

The system shows the flow of data going in to mach and out from mach, as it travels to and from: The PLC, Mod Bus, Brains, Macropump (if applicable), Functional discription, and Data/Target Page.

It could easily be adapted for Serial Modbus, or just "Record keeping" on your systems I/O.

they are attached as a Zip called:  TCP_IO.zip

jimpinder,

    The way I read his post was, his CAM program put out G-code for Turbo CNC to run, and he wanted to be able to run that code in Mach. I looked over his Code. Mach understands and will run everything but the "If Then Else" type G-code statements that TurboCNC runs.

So, The M888.m1s was a Macro I wrote that pulled in the Values from the Parameters that where already posted, and processed them (basically replaced the if then statement he was asking about).

If he wants to Create a "Wizard" that will do something different than what the Lathe Wizards currently do for creating code, then I figured he would ask about that, in case I misunderstood the post.

Sorry, if any confusion was caused.

oh, it also replaces this line

N800 G01 X#3 Z#6 F#2  //Cut at current X depth

Replace these lines
N770 If #4 LE #3 M97o800  //If target X <= Current  X , then cut at current X depth
N780 G01 X#4 Z#6 F#2  //Else cut at profile X & Z coordinates

With

M888.m1s

It will do your "If then else" statement

'M888.m1s here is an example

XStartRadius=GetVar(3)
TargetX=GetVar(4)
Feed=GetVar(2)
TargetZ=GetVar(6)

If TargetX<=XStart Then
Code "G01 X" & XStartRadius & " Z" & TargetZ & " F" & Feed
Else
Code "G01 X" & TargetX & " Z" & TargetZ & " F" & Feed
While IsMoving
Wend
End If

Brains Development / FYI Brains are limited to 50 lines if you need more make a part 2, etc....

FYI Brains are limited to 50 lines if you need more make a part 2, etc....

If you go over 50 rungs in brains you will need to start a part 2 brain, and on, and on, for each 50 of rungs you need more of.
