General Mach Discussion / Re: Help! How best to configure Mitsubishi MR-E-20A (and 40A)-QZ
« on: April 18, 2019, 04:03:02 PM »
Hi,
I'm in the process of retrofitting a ShopSabre to run Mach 4. My machine is outfitted with the same Mitsubishi drives listed, and I'm hoping someone on this thread can help me solve a major problem I'm having.
I can't figure out how to configure the e-stop circuit, and clear my AL.E6 alarm. I'm using a warp9 BOB, and the e-stop circuit is talking to Mach 4 (as are my limit switches). The drive manual it says EMG should be connected to SG through the e-stop switch, but WinCNC didn't use pin 13. I've tried shorting the two to see if I can get a response, but nothing happens. I'm guessing the drives have been reconfigured, or something upstream of SG-13 isn't active.
@Left469 did you end up installing a differential line driver, or stick with cw/ccw? I purchased some line drivers when I bought my warp9 bob, but wont install them unless there is a need.
any suggestions would be very helpful.
