General Mach Discussion / M03 will not turn spindle on

« on: December 15, 2018, 08:00:09 PM »

Hi all,
I have little MIB2030 CNC router with 500W DC spindle that is PWM controlled. I managed to set everything up except one issue I have - the G-code will not turn the spindle on. Yet I can turn the spindle and control the RPM with the spindle button in MACH3. When I type S12000 in the MDI screen, I see that the speed gets setup properly in the SPINDLE SPEED WINDOW.  Then I type M03 and nothing happens.
I also tried "M03 S12000" on a single line and still no success. Yes as I mentioned, if I press the spindle button in the MACH3, the spindle starts every time.
what am I missing?
Thank you for your help...

General Mach Discussion / ModBus and MHC2 setup with JY5300-2 controller

« on: December 02, 2014, 03:11:15 AM »

Hi,


took me few days, but finally I manage to configure the MIB 3020 machine with JY5300-2 and MHC2. Everything is working great, except the control of the machine from the MHC2 wheel, when the controller is in PC mode with MAch3 running. The readings between the DRO on the MAch3 screen and the MHC2 are synchronized, which (I think) means the modbus communication is working.
when I jog from keyboard, both DROs (pc and pendant) update.
If in Mach3 interface I go to MPG mode with TAB button, I can work the motors with the computer keyboard, but not with the wheel on MHC2.
When I go to MPG mod CAL, I can see that numbers update when i rotate the wheel om MHC2.
It also appears, that the MPG mode is disabled as fro the JOG Mode button i can only toggle between "Cont" and "Step" and the "MPG" stays off (dark).
maybe that's my problem? is there somewhere in the MACH3 setup where it needs to be turned on?

Here is my setup:

Here is the Manual for Jy5300-2 and MHC2:

I followed the instructions, starting from scratch few times, but I'm obviously missing something or there is an error in the documentation.
needless to say, I copied and enabled the brain file and did everything the manufacturer lists in the manual.
I suspect its something simple, but where is it?
Where did i screw up?

Thank you in advance!
