General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 / Huanyang - Goto Variable Position

« on: March 18, 2019, 04:00:30 AM »

Hi Reult,

yes I did, and even tried another one from Royaume d'eole. Both work fine.
The USB/RS485 I'm using is that one:
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07B416CPK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After many investigations, it seems that as soon as the plugin is active.

UPDATE:
As I wanted to give you as many informations as possible including a copy of the scripts involved, I found the problem !
It was a USERDRO conflict.
the script of the "set variable position" is using the same default USERDRO of the VFD monitor:
x = GetABSPosition(0)
y = GetABSPosition(1)
z = GetABSPosition(2)
SetUserDRO 1000, x
SetUserDRO 1001, y
SetUserDRO 1002, z

Happy ending

Fred

I add that I wired everything with shielded cables, taking good care of separating steppers cables and spindle cable paths, as well as power and signal cables.

when the spindle is running, I can hear little harmonics in the steppers but it works fine. The only odd thing is the "goto variable position".
I did try with the vfd turned on but disconected from mach3, it works fine.
I have the problem only when the communication is estabished via the rs232/rs485.
I tried to make a new setup from scratch, supposing the xml file had been corrupted, but nothing changed.

I can live with that problem, even though I love that function and use it a lot, but I would like to understand what's wrong (and eventually get this function back

thanks for your response

Does the VFD produce noise even when the spindle is not running ?

Hello

I have a strange problem:
when the Huanyang VFD is connected to mach 3, the "goto Variable position" is acting strange: X and Y go normaly to the memorised position, but Z goes to the zero machine coordinates...
If I disconnect the VFD (connected via RS485), everything is fine.

any idea what could be the problem ?

I just found the issue
the macros were altered for a reason that remains a mystery...
I just copied all macros from a backup file and everything came back fine

thanks anyway !

Hello everybody
Something odd happened to me:
Set and Goto variable position (in the MDI tab) do not work anymore:
X is fine, but Y and Z always want to go to the 0 machine coordinates.

I checked everything I could (macros and config) but everything seems to be ok.
I'm a bit lost...

any idea about the problem

Fred
