Dear Davek,

I very curious what you changed in the post processor to output a tapping cycle for each hole.
At this moment my output for M84 is like below but it is wrong.

M84 P1.5 Q-21. SS955 RS955
X123.5
X103.5
X83.5
X63.5
Z15.

Can you help me with his?

Hood,

I use Bobcad in Solidworks.
I started to modify the post processor.

A test tapping 4 holes, output the nc below.
I have not tried this on the machine yet.
Is this what you mean??

I also done what you said, I give it a margin of 20 degree, but it takes a couple of turns before stopping.
And does not stop always on the same spot.

I have some other options to control the driver.
It is actually not a VFD but a DC driver (Lenze 4900) controlling a DC motor.
Now I control it with 0-10V and direction.
- Driver can accept -10 to +10V or A + B complementary waveform.
So it will be possible to control it with STEP/DIR.

I was looking for the YAPSC:10 but can't find it to buy.
And converting STEP/DIR to A + B complementary waveform seems to be hard because A & B must be 90d shifted.

This is just what I was looking for.

I have made a test macro to align my VFD spindle.
But the loop function is too slow to detect if angle is at 0 degree.
Is there any other way to achieve this.


Test Macro:
SetSpinSpeed(100)            'Set Spindle Speed
ActivateSignal(OUTPUT6)         'Spindle Enable

Angle=GetInput(84)            'Get Spindle Angle from ENC
If Angle > 0 then
   DoSpinCW()            'Turn Spindle CW
      Do               'Enter Loop
      Angle=GetInput(84)      'Get Spindle Angle from ENC
      If Angle = 0 then
         DoSpinStop()
         Exit Do
         End if
      Loop
End If

Previously I had a sensor mounted on the spindle. That gives me an index signal.
I wrote a script to turn the spindle at slow speed until index signal is high and then apply a break and stop motor.

Now I have mounted an incremental encoder witch signals going to the ENC module.
I was assuming that the index in Mach3 was still working with the ENC module, linked internally by software.

CS-Lab / Index ENC
« on: June 05, 2014, 03:11:52 PM »
In the past when I have no ENC installed I had a index wired to an input.
I used this Index signal to align my VFD spindle motor.

But now I have the ENC installed, and don't know how to get the Index working.
Is there a way in the software to link "encoder 1 - IN I+" to the Index signal.

Thanks,

CS-Lab / VFD spindle Alignment

Is it possible align a VFD spindle with the CSMIO IP-S

I have an encoder installed on the spindle motor, and signals go to the CSMIO-ENC threading module.
In the CSMIO diagnostic window; I see the motor speed and angle. When spindle is turned of and manual turn the spindle I can see the angle changing.
So this seem all to work.

In CSMIO plugin window> Spindle > Enable Spindle Axis is checked, Align at Stop = 0 deg.
Or is this function only for Servo Drives?

Thanks in advance.

Mail reply from CS-Lab

Dear sir,
 
I made some tests and I have found that CSMIO plugin require small improvement because the "Set Axis to "0" on reset" function should have nothing to do in your case.
Our developers will remove that issue very soon.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience and the same thank you for helping us improving our product.

I can confirm, this is the best Hardware I ever used.
Hardware is not impressed of interference just fantastic.
Very very stable, until now no hangs and no crashes no lost comms.
The pulse-train is fantastic, so good that I was able to increase my axes speeds.
Even Milling Parts with above 30k lines it works fantastic.
CS-Lab did a very good job, and I can recommend this hardware to anyone who is going to retrofit.

Now hopping Mach4 is coming very soon.

Yes that's totally understandable.
If CS-Lab updated there user manual I won't had this problem, or maybe I am a little blind :)
I will ask CS-Lab when the updated manual of the new plug-in is ready, because there is some new stuff in the new plug-in.

Thanks for all your support Hood.
