HiCON Motion Controller / Downloaded Mach4-2.0.3481 Hicon plugin won't load
« on: September 02, 2017, 05:14:27 PM »
I just upgraded Mach4 and the Hicon plug in won't load.
I have down loaded the latest plugin for Mach4 from the Vital website and updated the control.
When i start the latest version of M4 i get an error that says:
Failed to load shared library 'M4HICON.m4pw' (error 0: the operation completed successfully)

Needless to say i don't have the control available for use.

Thanks

Mach4 Toolbox / Added a Part Runtime to file ops tab
« on: August 04, 2014, 08:30:00 PM »
Add this code to PLC script.
Code: [Select]
if (inCycle == 1) then 
    local s  = mc.mcCtrlGetRunTime(inst)/10;
    local time = string.format("%.2d:%.2d:%.2d", s/3600, s/60%60, s%60);
    scr.SetProperty('lblTime','Label',  tostring(time));
end
Then add this code to the reset button so it zero's out on a reset.
Code: [Select]
scr.SetProperty('lblTime','Label',  "00:00:00");

You will need a label on the screen so you have a place to put the text.
I copied the text just above it then just added a label for the time value.
I plan on looking to see how the M30 gets processed so I can add a parts counter and accumulated time of all the parts.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Fixture screen
« on: May 03, 2014, 01:04:11 PM »
I was playing around and was wondering if there was a way to call up the fixture screen.
I see where you can load a different file mc.mcFixtureLoadFile(number mInst, string FileToLoad).
But i could not figure out how to pull up the screen with a button script.
I also did not see a call in the drop downs.
Is there a way.  Makes it nice to have a button on the screen for a touch screen.

Thanks

Modbus / What do you think of the Click PLC
« on: January 16, 2009, 03:16:39 PM »
Was looking at the Automation Direct new PLC for $69.00 us and it seems very close to the DL05.
What does everyone think?    http://web1.automationdirect.com/adc/Overview/Catalog/Programmable_Controllers/CLICK_Series_PLCs_(Stackable_Micro_Brick)
