General Mach Discussion / How to get more digital outputs for 4 axis?

« on: October 02, 2019, 06:40:59 AM »

Hi,

I use Mach3 at my CNC mill with the Benezan break out board (http://www.benezan-electronics.de/manuals/Breakout7-Installation.pdf) and I am very happy with this.
But in future I will use a 4 axis, so it isn´t a problem to conect at this board.
My problem is, my 4 axis has a hydraulic brake and I need a digital output from Mach3 to lose this hydraulik brake to turn the 4 axis.

How can I solve this problem?

Regards Stefan

Hi

Thank you for your Help.

The machine run.
The problem was the configuration in Mach3.
I didn´t activate the charge pump on port 1 and pin 16, this is the release for the breakoutboard.

I connect it with a standard 1:1 sub d cable.

As far as I can see, there is no plugin for Mach3 for Benezan breakout board, so erarlier, with that configuration COULD NOT work.
When using external controllers, kernel speed does not play any role.

I use the Benezan breakoutboard since 2015 without any problems in my Deckel milling machine and Mach3.

My lathe runs with this configuration good, before I solved the lizense problem.

Benezan is one of the best companies for cnc  products, here in Germany

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your help.

1.
When I am back from work, I will upload the xml file for you.

2.
At the last days I run the drivertest with 25khz and 100khz.
The running machine was setting to 100khz.
Here a two pictures from the drivertest:

3.
Hot keys has correct configuration. When I push the arrow keys the X and Z axis change the way numbers, but in reality the axis doesn't move.
When I push the cooling button at the Mach3 original screen,  I see a yellow light but in reality the relai doesn't work.

4.
I use cloesd loop Leadshine es d808 drivers with Leadshine stepper motors.
My Motherboard is from Asus : P5KPL-AM
Breakoutboard is from Benezan : https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.benezan-electronics.de/manuals/NetBob1-Installation.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiu0smYy5zeAhVMJ1AKHQp7AAsQFjABegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw2OTDUdNiQEa5ED9v_mqEyw


So in this configuration, the machine was running good for me.

Hi

after solving the problem of license my machine stops working.
I have Mach3 installed and uninstalled several times, at some point it the license work.
And now the axes do not move any more, the spindle release and the cooling no longer work.
I didnt make any changes in windows or bios´.

But the reference switch, emergency stop and axis emergency stop are working and will be displayed to me in MACH3 via message and at the diagnosis window.
The Drivertest ist ok, Win XP say the Lpt on the motherboard runs and there are a connection.
I have make some pictures from the running machine before solving the license problem and I set up the same settings form the running machine.
Yesterday I formatted the hard disk with DBAN and reinstalled windows xp 32bit with sp3.
When I f put the machine into first operation, everything worked without any lpt settings.

Also I run the Drivertest.exe with 25kHz and 100kHz, look at the Pictures, booth times Mach3 says it is ok.

https://picload.org/view/dcarraaw/img_20181021_212059.jpg.html

Then I try it again, the demo mode doesn´t stop at Gcode line 50 but again at line 150.
At next I put the license into the folder and the resualt was the same like the demo mode.

I take some pictures from the bios, the bios with the blue screen ist from my mill Pc and there Mach3 runs perfekt.
The grey screen is from my turn PC.

Slowly I am desperate.
