HiCON Motion Controller / Hicon 7766 Reference All Axes (Home) Issue

« on: April 22, 2019, 10:05:35 AM »

Hi,

After upgrading my system to the new SW/FW  - Integra256FW-3.99 / IntegraFPGA_7E7E with the profile ArcPro-Integra_v1.17 and respective screen set,  the system does not perform the Reference All Axes (Home) giving the message in the History tab - ""ERROR Starting Homing for Motor3. No response. Homing Complete for All Axis. Sync on Home Complete."". Motor 3 is my Z Axis.
I got as well a LUA error as you can see in the attached file.
All configuration seams to be OK, set up of motors, mapping etc. All Axis run manually without issues.

Can you please help.

Thanks, JLS

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / What is the best Gcode writer?

Hi All,

I´ve buid a CNC plasma table with a Hicon Integra controller 7766 using MACH4 and Proma THC. So far I´ve used the demo version of the sheetcam to play arround with it (good but not perfect).
Question is: Is there a better SW fully compatible with the MACH4, this controller and the Proma THC?


Thx.

HiCON Motion Controller / Mach4 + Hicom7766 + Proma THC 150

« on: May 06, 2016, 09:48:06 AM »

Hi All,

My system does not work with the THC.
I´m using Mach 4 with hicom 7766 with proma thc 150. All the connections are done accordingly the manufacturers.

In the THC the 'THC up' and 'ARC OK' are always ON as soon I switch ON the plasma unit due to the output voltage of my plasma which is 27Vdc at the torch connections and 0.4 Vdc in the 50:1 divider when in standby mode.

Question:
Is this voltage normal or it should be 0Vdc?

Thanks, Joao

Building from scratch a plasma CNC using the Hicon 7766 and mach4 SW.

Installed SheetCAM and was asked for the post processor file. I´ve searched without success. Does this file exist? if so can you help me?
