Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 does not recognize inputs from Galil I/O controller

« on: March 14, 2019, 03:08:11 PM »

Hello again
This is an odd problem, I suspect the Galil plug-in.
I'm using a Galil DMC-4143 Motion Controller and Galil RIO_47300 I/O Controller
My problem is that Mach4 does not seem to recognize any inputs from the I/O Controller. Outputs work fine.
The Inputs are mapped and show up in the Machine.ini file.
When using the Galil Suite software, I am able to see the inputs toggle, so I know that all the I/O's are working.
The Inputs to the Motion Controller work fine.
When I use the Mach4 Diagnostics Logging, none of the I/O Controller inputs show up, whereas the Outputs log data.
The only other clue I have, is that when I run a script essentially saying "wait for an input to go high"(i.e. a push button) Mach4 treats it as if it is already high.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -Eric

Mach4 General Discussion / Problem saving Screen Scripts

« on: March 08, 2019, 11:41:39 AM »

Hello all,
Hopefully this is a easy one and I'm just missing a step.  2 weeks ago, I could save my screen scripts and now I can't.
So here is the process I'm using:
Save Screen as- a new name
Goto Operator\Edit Screen
Click on top Screen name in Screen Tree Manager
Click on lightning Bolt
Click on Screen Load Script
Click on ...
ZeroBrane Studio opens. When it opens the name of the file is something like: le40ED.mcs
and the path is:  C:\User\login_name\AppData\Local\Temp\le40ED.msc. Is this correct?
So, I can edit it, and save it.
Click on Operator\Edit Screen
Mach4 resets, I go through the edit process again and my changes are not saved.
Any clues? Thanks in advance. -Eric

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Output Config. gets lost with shutdown

« on: February 25, 2019, 03:53:09 PM »

Hi all, first post. I have lots of questions and my first is: When I close Mach4, I loose my Device and Output Name and therefore control of my outputs. The Mapping Enable is still checked and the Description is still there. If I am opening and closing Mach4 during the day, there is no problem. It's only when it's shut down for a day or 2.  I'm using the Galil Plug-in and a DMC-41730 Motion Controller with a RIO-47300 I/O Controller. Any clues?
Thanks,
-Eric
