General Mach Discussion / Axis disabled after one cycle
« on: November 04, 2014, 02:31:41 AM »
Hi,
After some tinkering to get my DMM-Tech servo system running on my Bridgeport, I created and ran a simple 2-axis program to mill an L-shaped slot. After pushing the CYCLE START button, the machine moves like it's supposed to and the program will rewind (because of M30). However, if I hit the CYCLE START button again, the X-axis DRO will update (as if the machine is moving) but no movement of that axis. The Y-axis will move just fine. I also cannot jog the X-axis at that point. The only way I've found to make the machine work properly for the next cycle is to trip the RESET/ESTOP button.
I'm running a Smoothstepper, if that matters.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Joe
