dspMC/IP Motion Controller / DSPMC loses connectivity after uprgading firmware - sort of

« on: January 24, 2016, 07:22:25 AM »

Hello everyone,

I have a dspmc that I have been running successfully for several years.  I just upgraded the firmware to 8.14 from 7.19.  Installed the e104 fpga, updated the Mach3 plugin.  All seemed to go okay or at least I thought so.

There are two problems:

When I open Mach3 and go to the config plugins screen the pages with the each axes have all of the fields blanked out and nothing  can be entered in them.

When I power on the machine the DSPMC is not visible to the PC (via Mach3 or ipscan) until I cycle the power on the DPSMC after the PC has booted up.   I have it connected directly to the PC with static IPs assigned.

It was working before and no hardware changes have been made.  I assume that I cannot "downgrade" the firmware since I've changed the fpga as well.

Has anyone seen this before of have any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / DSPMC Feature request

I was wondering if a notch filter (band block) could be added to the axis tuning screen?

Thanks,

Brains Development / Brains execution and editor questions

« on: November 21, 2011, 11:56:29 AM »

I had a question about the execution of brains:  Does Mach read all the inputs, execute the ladder then write all the outputs (like a PLC) or does it read inputs, execute a rung then write the output (immediate).

I know that Brian is working on the new version of Mach and was wondering if any work is being done to fix the brain editor?
