General Mach Discussion / Input and Output

« on: January 17, 2017, 06:12:45 AM »

Hi all
I have mach 3 in two Computers. I want to sync these two mach 3 together. That means i want to send an output signal from mach 3 no1 and the another one has to receive it. After receiving the signal, mach 3 no 2 will activate a solenoid. Once it completed mach3 no 2 has to send an output signal to mach3 no 1 to perform other operations. Is it possible?
 By means of a macro program I have tested the output pins and signals . All working fine. Now my doubt is how to check the input signals?
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

VB and the development of wizards / Control of 2 USB relays via Mach 3

« on: December 22, 2016, 12:12:13 AM »

I have a sacra robot with 3 axis controlled by mach 3. The gripper of the robot is controlled by a  separate relay . Now i want to add two KMTronic USB relays to control two additional grippers to feed the sacra robot via mach 3 . Now the sequence is, once robot has reached the  location of my 1 gripper mach 3 should send a signal to activate  my 1 relay ( to open it). After picking the part , it needs to be activated again ( for  closing) . Again when robot has reached the  location of my 2 gripper mach 3 should send a signal to activate  my 2 relay after unloading  the part again it needs to be closed.
I can control 1 relay my M3 & M5. M1S macros. Now how to achieve  the second one? i read from the forum to use m666.m1s macros. yet it is unclear .
Please to help me to achieve this.
Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Adding usb relays in Mach3

« on: December 12, 2016, 01:50:01 AM »

Hi all
I am using mach3 in my scara robot. Now i want to add 2 KMtronic USB relays to control the 2 grippers. Actually it is a single channel relay. I have downloaded the DLL file can controll one by using M3&M5 ( as per their manual ).  How to control the other relay? I tried by M8 & M9 . but i couldn't. Please help me in this.

And also i want the mach 3 to send a signal to another pc ( mach 3)  to control these two relays separately. Is it possible? If yes how?

Thanks a lot in advance

General Mach Discussion / Adding a Relay

« on: November 02, 2015, 06:26:08 AM »

Hi all
I am new to this forum.I have a HY-TB4DV-S  control board with MACH 3 for my CNC machine. In that, spindle motor is controlled by a separate unit. Now i want to add a 12 V DC relay with this control board and like to control the relay using M03, M04 and M05. After modifying the pin, port numbers and motor output without connecting the relay i tried with M03.  Now i am getting a 'click' Sound which refers the relay is activated, but i didn't get  any voltage in M1  ,M2 and  Ground pins of my controller. [/b]So, please tell me what is the error and how to solve it. attached is the photo of my control board.
