General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach, Rutex, Yaskawa combination

Keith,

The PCON signal switches the drive from PI (proportional-integral) to proportional only.  The PI mode is preferred as it gives better speed control, but I don't know off hand if the signal on this drive needs to be on or off to enable this mode.  I think you should try dropping the encoder count out of the drive just to see if this helps.  You probably can drop it quite a bit without hurting your machine accuracy.  Other than that, it doesn't really sound like a problem with the drive.

Keith,

Does it make any difference if you leave pins 12 and 13 open?  Do have the P.OT and N.OT signals connected?

Also, make sure the analog signal from the Rutex is connected to pin 14 and the signal ground is connected to pin 15.

What is the model number of the amp?  What pins on CN1 do you have the analog signal connected to?

Regards,
Scott

General Mach Discussion / Problem launching external editor
« on: November 14, 2006, 09:03:47 PM »
I seem to have run into a problem with launching an editor from Mach 3, but I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.  The problem appears when you try to assign an editor whose path has spaces in it.  Like Wordpad for example:

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

Notepad works fine because it's path doesn't have any spaces in it:

"C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

This problem came up when I tried to send a G-Code file to NCPlot.  I am NCPlot's developer, so I was able to verify that the data being passed was everything after the first space in the editor's path.  So, instead of just getting the name of the file to open, I am also getting part of the pathname as well.

The version of Mach 3 I tried this with is R1.84

So, I guess I'm asking if anybody else has run into this.

Thanks,
Scott
