General Mach Discussion / Using Mach 3...

« on: March 19, 2013, 05:33:52 PM »

Please help me!!!
I’m trying to use Mach3 in all of his capability…so I’m learning a lot from this...but I’m on stall now because:
First issue
My 4th axes, homemade, works well using  MPG MODE  and it goes homing very well… but on the DRO I just read values from 0 (home position settled by switch) to 100 and not 0 to 360 degrees as expected. The number 100 are  correct it is the numbers of rotations of the motor for turning one turn of the entire system due to his  reduction ratio  1:100. If I revers the rotation sense, on the jog, I can read from 360 to 0 degrees!!! I inverted the rotation of the motor in “Homing” and the situation was inverted!!!!
Second issue
I would like to read the spindle speed and for that I’m using an Honeywell reflective sensor HOA0708/0709 who is recognized by Mch3, I puttied it in front of a 6mm square reflecting  strip Mach3 on ” Automated setup of inputs”,  on the right pin number of my second parallel port but…I can’t read any value on the RPM window screen just I see the value on the spindle CWF5 running continuously and very fast!
NOW the question is: WHERE I’M WRONG?

General Mach Discussion / Constant "E-Stop requested"

« on: July 06, 2011, 06:19:58 PM »

Hello to All
I'm Sorry But I'm having  this problem...in one minute I'm registering two "E-StopRequested". The stranger is that checking the panel, as you can see, the emergency stop is not active!! Is a mystery for me!! I controlled several times  ALL port and pins configuration without any anomalies…It is settled: ports1 pin 15 unchecked all the rest.
Best regards
