HiCON Motion Controller / Re: System does not move after M3

« on: December 29, 2016, 04:41:51 AM »

This looks like a bug in the newest version. I just downgraded Hicon firmware and plugin to Mach4_Integra_103116.zip from October 31, 2016 and everything seems to be normal.

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: homing problems Hicon and Mach4

VSI Device manager has an option to configure EStop pins directly in motion controller- have you checked there?

I am using similar setup and I don't have such issue.

HiCON Motion Controller / System does not move after M3

« on: December 28, 2016, 12:51:49 PM »

I have an issue with Hicon Integra controlling plasma cutter. Everything has been upgraded to latest versions- Integra FW. FPGA bitstream, Mach4, Hicon plugin for Mach4.

After torch ON/M3 command torch probes the material, ignites arc, gets arc ok signal. So far, as expected. However, after this XY motors do not move until I disarm system manually.

I'm seeing the following errors in logs (not sure if those are related, but it looks so:
