General Mach Discussion / Re: New User, Mach 2 and 3 downloaded, frustrated MAXNC 10 OL
« on: September 16, 2006, 10:28:23 PM »Well, we have reached "happy user"!
I came home from my business trip, went through every possible setting. Re-read the docs. Convinced myself of some of the facts. Then re-read the docs, watched the videos, and double checked everyting.
My MaxNC 10 OL, has three switches but only one signal back to Mach3.
My spindle problem was solved once I got all of the outputs going in the correct orientation.
1............... M3 OUTPUT (LOW=ON, PULSE FOR PWM)
2............... A AXIS (quadrature)
3............... A AXIS (quadrature)
4............... Y AXIS (quadrature)
5............... Y AXIS (quadrature)
6................X AXIS (quadrature)
7............... X AXIS (quadrature)
8............... Z AXIS (quadrature)
9............... Z AXIS (quadrature)
10.............. INPUT, MOVE ENABLE (LOW=NORMAL OPERATION, HIGH=STOP, SEE NOTE)
11.............. INACTIVE
12.............. INPUT, HOME SWITCH (NORMAL OPERATION LOW)
13.............. INPUT, G61 SWITCH SENSOR
14.............. M8 OUTPUT (LOW=ON)
15.............. NONE
16.............. OUTPUT, DISABLE POWER TO MOTORS (LOW=NORMAL, HIGH=DISABLE)
17.............. OUTPUT, RESET CONTROLLER (LOW=RESET, HIGH=NORMAL)
18.............. ALL SIGNALS GROUND
19 TO 25 ....... NONE
The Max setup doc has pin #10 as an output. That won't work. The outputs are shown to be 14, 16, and 17. The inputs are 10, 12, and 13.
The motor setup looks to be pretty good for the spindle (once I found these inputs were correct).
I tried milling my first cuts this evening. I'm closer, but not quite there yet, some more calibration is in order.
Thank you for all of the settings and controls, Art. It's worth the investment to learn what's going on.
Hopefully, I'll cut my first part before the end of the weekend and I have to go back to my day job!!!
Best Regards,
Todd
