CS-Lab / Re: [CSMIO-IP/S + MACH3] using an analogue output to control an external device

FYI, the macropump that I used is;

SetModOutput=(81,GetUserDro(4))

Hi Tom,

Finally, I managed to solve the problem.
The critical thing was to use G93 command, which let the machine finish all axes movement in a specific time.
All working now... Thanks a lot for your help so far!!

Best Regards,
Eric.

That is a really slow speed.
The linear speed (F300) should be 5 mm/sec.
Since the linear distance along X is only 4 mm, it should take only 1 sec?

I've removed the B... command and ran the code again.
The movement is much faster.
I don't quite understand what B-axis setting is wrong.

Hi Tom,

B-axis still rotates very low. Here are the motor settings and G-code used.

X axis: steps per 101.823, velocity 4000.2, acceleration 200
Y axis: steps per 101.795, velocity 4000.2, acceleration 750
B axis: steps per 100, velocity 10002, acceleration 10000

Hi Tom,

Yes, that was exactly how I activated the B-axis. Sorry for my confusion.
But, even when the B-axis was ticked in the Motor Outputs setting, in the xlm file the value for Motor 4 was still zero in the xlm file.
<Motor4Active>0</Motor4Active>
Interestingly, I could get the analog output well. However, the all motion stopped.

I'm trying to change the motor speed and acceleration values in the Motor Tuning menu.
I will let you know how it works.

Best Regards,
Eric.

Hi Tom,

It is strange... I enabled the B-axis.
There are a few options for B-axis. I'm not sure which option was turned off.
I went to Plugin Control > CSMIOS (Config), and then tick the box for B-axis.
Is there anything else I should do?

Strangely, the Step Pin# and Dir Pin# for all axes were set to zero. Is it normal?

Best Regards,
Eric.

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much. Please see the attached profile xml file.
Any advice will be really appreciated.

Best Regards,

Hi Tom,

The problem is still unsolved.

I've used the following G-code.
G90
G0 X0 Y0 B0
M7
M9
G1
X 26.0 Y 0 B 19.5 F 300
X 27.0 Y 0 B 39.0 F 300
X 28.0 Y 0 B 58.5 F 300
X 29.0 Y 0 B 78.0 F 300
X 30.0 Y 0 B 97.5 F 300

And the macropump.m1s was:
SetModOutput(81, GetOemDro(804))

B-axis setting was in a way that B1 command output the analog output value 1.
In theory, B4095 should output 10V. And when we checked B command on DMI, it worked.

The problem is that when we run the G-code above, as soon as B command starts being used, the motion stops.
Interestingly, the G-code still runs without any machine movement.

Do you know what the problem is?

Best Regards,
Eric.

The problem is that the DRO values in the display change, but the actual motion stops when the B... command is used.

Hi Tom,

I encounter another problem. Never going smoothly.
As soon as B... command is input (using macropump), the whole motion stops.
Any thought?

Best Regards,
Eric.
