PoKeys / Re: Setting error inputs

Hi again
Sorry, I do not get it.....
Why you have 3 times 'Reset' and only for z then 'Output' 3  ?

Thank you very much for the brains files.

Regarding the Driver Fault: it is the driver algorithms which make the problem. It is a motor timing problem. The error is a pre-driver fault..

Regarding the VFD / Resistor: this was a much bigger problem to be successfully solved a year ago: See here, the last 4 posts of my thread:

Hello all. I know it is an old post but I can not find a description which enables me to implement it.
Pokeys57CNC plus Pokeys 256 Drivers plus MACH3

I have often a Driver error. Could never find the reason so far.
I want to stop the whole machine if it happens so it does not destroy my work every time.
In pokeys config I can set LED1920-24 as described above. As input setting i put eStop. It would work if I could reverse th Input but I can not find where.
The solution with the OEM Trigger#1 I do not understand. Ho should the brains look like?

Any help how to eStop or Stop the whole machine when a Driver has an error would be highly appreciated.

Best
Roman

And it still works.

PoKeys / Re: Pokeys57CNC Analog PWM Output to control Laser with M11P1 M10P1

« on: October 29, 2019, 05:26:32 AM »

Hello
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I got an answer from Pokeys Support: The Mach3 Plugin does not support M10/M11. (Mach3 should support it I understand despite the fact that it is not listed as an M command when you press the M-Codes button on the Mach3 GUI first Tab).
I could do your gate solution but for this I would need to use another command than M10/M11 which reaches the 57CNC at all. And then change the PP. I could use i.e. Mist of Flood M7 or M8 Gcode.   
But before I start this adventure I would need to know if M7/M8 are any faster than M3/M5.
Do you know? Or another GCode I could use which is fast?

PoKeys / Pokeys57CNC Analog PWM Output to control Laser with M11P1 M10P1

« on: October 28, 2019, 10:37:35 AM »

Hi
Sorry if this is elsewhere answered but I really can not find it.
Like many others: Due to the slow reaction of M3/M5 I get darker dots when laser engraving with my OptLaser. I understand that I should change to M11P1 / M10P1 to solve this (or M11P# /M10P# instead of Pin 1).
But I can not figure out the setup needed in MACH3 and the Pokeys Plugin so that M10 /M11 rapidly controls on/off of the Analog/PWM out at Pin 17 of the Pokeys 57CNC. The OptLaser has only one control input for the intensity (0-5V ) but no separate on/off control input (then it would be easy)
Any hints are highly appreciated.

Hi
This was just the test-setup. Now all is nicely fixed, no food for the Fan.  :-)

If somebody has the same problem, here the solution:
I did several experiments meanwhile and also went back to the idea that the Inverter infuses to much noise down the lines. So I tried the Ferritering again. But this time with two really big Ferrite Tubes and a large amount of windings and put them separate to both lines, one per line (Vi and iGND). And I added a Capacitor with 10uF between Vi and iGND.
It became much better. Not perfect but much better. So this was the right trace to follow.
So I did the XXL hard core version of it (see Pic's).
Two really big ferrites, lots of windings and, very important: a 0.022uF Capacitor between iGND and 0-10V output.
With all this it now works 100% OK

Thank you TPS for the coaching!

Now I also did a test by directly 'infusing' 0-12V from my Lab power supply into the Inverter to VI and DCM.
Works also like a charm.
