General Mach Discussion / ports and pins
« on: September 28, 2013, 01:59:59 PM »
I'm trying to use the CW spindle relay as dry contact for my spindle enable. output #6 port 2, pin14. Contacts don't close when spindle FWD is pressed. Output #6 changes state. Is there some setting I am missing or is this not possible. I would also like to use CCW like R2-R9

PoKeys / POkeys 56U

Having problems with pokeys. Came installed with Mach Motion system.
Some days it works fine all day. Next thing I need a feed hold for a problem and no response. Some times reboot helps sometimes not.
Any one else with the problem. Also noted that the elapse timer was not running. Any connection.
2 PCs, 2 Operator Panels, 3 hard drives and still no answers.
Many other problems:
DROs went black
Touch screen lockups.
Always need to toggle Jog off/on to get keyboard to work.
G code for .300 lead in but on any outside part it does 1" . Sometimes it does a hook on every other part.(when it wants).

This has been a 2 year nightmare and Mach Motion doesn't have an answer and will not replace again. Don't blame them. They have given me all the support they can.

I'm ready to buy a whole new system.

General Mach Discussion / Subroutine
« on: March 17, 2012, 11:38:50 PM »
Trying to get subroutine to work. If I create G code file with  Bob CAD nest and post using subroutine Mach runs file just fine. Problem is Bob CAD creates a corrupt contour ramp file in nest ( Been waiting 6 months for fix) What I want to do is swap the corrupt file with a known good file. Sometimes I need to call sub 150+ times so I want simple. I've read the manual and many  forum post still don't get it.

General Mach Discussion / Re: G28.1
« on: February 13, 2012, 02:14:20 PM »
Solved my problem. Created a custom M function. M300 DoOem button(1024) REF Z
Pasted relevant script from my user buttons into other custom M code. Now as the program runs my buttons match condition of router.
I will have to download a manual to find out the .001 I was asking about.
I do have the install/config manual if it is in there.
Thanks

Macro for custom M codes :

M221
DeActivateSignal(output2)
M321
ActivateSignal(output2)

This is the user button to do the same:

If Not(GetOEMLED(1801)) Then
SetUserLabel(23,"Z1 On")
SetUserLED(1801,1)'USER LED 1 ON
code"M221"
Else
SetUserLabel(23,"Z1 Off")
SetUserLED(1801,0)'USER LED 1 OFF
code"M321"
End If
I need to add the ability to change status of user buttons to match M code status. Also should I use the macro Refz [DoOembutton (1010) for the actual refZ instead of G28.1

I am using this code to reference 4 router heads using Mach3 controller with  Z axis. M codes are used to enable/disable drives. Everything works fine except. Before it raises the router toward home sensor it lowers it about 3". This is creating the danger of driving the cutter into the table. If I reference with the ultimate screen buttons I do not get the downward movement. Will adding a G90 or G91 before G28 stop the downward movement.

Seems that the problem with the skipped steps was the HD. Replaced it and 1st program ran fine.

I have been working with tech support from the company I purchased the controller from. Today I have been informed they shipped a new controller. I guess there has been enough unexplainable guirks that they no longer want to waste time working on it. Hurray!!!.

This is what was, Cut 540 parts 12/13   ;N06 G43 H1 Z.25  N07 G01 Z0. F160. N08 G41 D1 X1.5 F144.

 This is what they say needs to be ;N06 G43 H1 Z.25  N08 G41 D1  N07 G01 Z0. F144.  X1.5

 The changing Z0 is a missed steps. They determined that it was sending all steps at once. Too fast for motors. New controller should be here Monday maybe that will end all problems.
Explain this 40885 parts have been cut since July 15 with what was. Why does it no longer work. I will try to look at original Config and compare to current. If I can figure out how.

Thanks
