General Mach Discussion / Delay Time

« on: August 17, 2015, 11:43:50 AM »

  Hi, i was scrolling through some Threads looking for another solution when i bumped into this((( delaying the running of code until spindle motor is up to speed))) of course i did not note the link,   up to now i have edited the code and added (G4 P15) into the code just under motor start up line.but the thread says i can do this by putting a fixed delay time into MACH3

How do i do this in general config or some other place in mach???   some help is greatfully received

Hi Hood,
sorry i misunderstood your statement,
Yes i do have oem inputs selected and enabled
I also have system hot keys done, using numbers 259 X, 260 Y, 261 Z, 262 A, 265 JOG X0.1, 266 JOG X 0.01, 267 JOG X 0.001
only jog x 0.001 is seen to change
it is likely to be an configuration error but my analytical brain died years ago

Hi Hood,

I am still trying to set-up my pendant, i have so far managed to destroy the smooth stepper inputs  by the dvm probe shorting to 12 volts, and subsequently having repaired the SS board i now find myself back at the beginning.

I have the A & B outputs to port 3 pins 2 & 3 pins 2 through to 9 set as inputs with select axis switch on pins 2 though to 5 and pulse speed set  on pins 6 though to 8 and due to an incorrect wiring issue i have temporally set pin 9 as Emergency Stop.
on the SS plug - page i can see all lines moving with response to switch inputs, but i cannot see any  indication of input signals on the diagnostic page ( ALT F7 ).. Should I ??

I can however see one input working when i hit the tap key i see the mpg speed change nothing else works. please what am i doing wrong soon i will be permanently bald!!

Help please
