CS-Lab / Cslabs ips epid error on tool change

« on: February 20, 2017, 11:46:31 AM »

Im having a little problem with my mill and looking for some help, I have a heavy modded x2 mill, running csmio ips, clearpath servos, liner rails, and a renishaw tool probe and tool setter. Im running mach 3 version 3.043.062 and the latest from cslabs. I have Gerry 2010 screen set. The problem arises when i give an m6 code for tool change. I start the mill, home all the axis, set my x and y zero, then using the screen-set I probe the part zero and the offset of the tool setter. Then i load my g code and cycle start, it moves to my tool change x and y and i add my end mill, hit cycle start again and as soon as the end mill touches the tool setter i get a epid fault and reset warring screen and i have to start all over. My controller is a step and direction and does not even have pid control. Im not sure what to do next, ive looked at the macros and as much information as i could find online and nothing is working, I also contacted cslabs but have not got an email back. Looking for a little help. This mill build has been a year in the making and this one fault is holding me up. Any info is a big help. Thanks guys.
