Modbus / Multiple TCp modbus devices

« on: February 17, 2012, 12:10:47 AM »

Hi,
Does any one know, if it's possible to connect multiple devices thru Modbus TCP?
I've read that it's no problem with a serial connection. Just wondered how to do it with ethernet.
I've connected one IO device that's using masteraddress 192.168.2.2
mach3 uses 192.168.2.1 Now I would like to add another IO slave device to 192.168.2.3
Just have problems with communicating with mach3.
any suggestions would ne appreciated.

Regards,
Albert

Galil / Re: Galil Softlimits Jog

Guys, Don't bother,
Got it figured out. on the home and limits the X and Y were set on reverse, Changed that back and modified
the servo configuration on the galil to MT 1,1,-1 and CE 0,0,2, In the plugin motor mapping just selected:
x -servo, y-servo and z-servo reversed. Just posted this in case anybody had the same problem.
Thanks anyway

Ken,
Jogging is fine without the softlimits on. Also before I home any axis. Thought about the motor setup in galil, using the MT and CE commands,
I use reversed servomotor in mach3 for the Y and Z direction.(thought yhat might be a problem)
But I dismissed that aswell, because the Z-axis is doing fine (with or without the softlimits on)
I think it must be a software thing or a setup configuration on the galil card, I overlooked. (maybe that initialization of the softlimits on the galil you talked about,
it might need some configuration)
I will hardwire the jog commands to some inputs, just to try whether the same thing is happening. But I am not very optimistic about that.
I 'll think some more about it,

Galil / Galil Softlimits Jog

« on: November 18, 2010, 12:43:41 AM »

I am having some problems with jogging when the softlimits are on.
I have a cincinnati arrow, which I am fitting mach3 on. Also use the DMC2143 and a RIO 47120. Ive read a post, brought back up a year ago, with the same problem, but haven't found out whether they were able to fix it or not.
Jogging is fine without the softlimits on. When I activate the softlimits button, the X+ and X- both jog to the X- direction and Y+ and Y- Both jog in the Y- direction.
Z jog however is fine. checked the galil plugin version (V4.4) then deleted it in the mach3 plugin directory and reinstalled it. No change.
Anybody any thoughts?
