Yes I did get it working in the end.
Had more help from the manual from the sensor then from the CSlabs manual.

CS-Lab / Simple problem, but I can not get it to work
« on: October 06, 2019, 06:13:47 PM »
Hello, another problem with the IP 4 M.
Am starting to regret buying it, support from both supplier and manufacturer is pretty non-existent TBH.

I have a simple problem.

I use a ip4 on my plasma cutting table, which I am working on step by step.
Have the axii working, homing works etcetera.
I want to try ohmic sensing the top of the plate before retracting to pierce height and starting.
However I can not get it to work at all, is it true the IP 4 M can only use NC sensors??

The homing switches are NC,but I am unable to verify if those are the only type the IP M can work with, or if the controller can work with NO contacts and how to make that work. I have assigned port 10 , pin 5 to the probe, yet I do not get anything working. 2,3 and 4 are the homing switches, if I manually push the homing switches the corresponding input lights up, but those switches are NC's, as I feel those are safer (and the manual also comments about it)

I've read a lot, and some posts indicate that a input can either  be NO or NC, but how do I change it then in Mach3/CSMIO controller configuration.
I can set all inputs to either active low or active high, yet I see no changes when using a DMM on the connector. I would expect some kind of change measuring between a input pin and its corresponding 0v, they are always NC.

Stumped about this TBH, why isn't such a simple thing described more clearly (the Ip M is marketed as a step into CNC, yet the manual is aimed at someone who is much more advanced. Also there are some blatant mistakes in the manual as well.

CS-Lab / Completely lost with my CSMIO IP-m 4
« on: September 28, 2018, 08:34:08 PM »
I've acquired a CSMIO M4, and have had some major troubles with it.

Support from the dealer has been non-existent, in fact the dealer mentioned on the CS labs site for my country is just a residential adress and the people who live there are at least 70 years old, and have no interest in CNC (as a co-incedence I have relatives live nearby, and thet went to the house, and asked politely)
The manual is wrong in some places, something as simple as a limit switch is not even described correctly, and now the following happens.
I can not set the CSMIO axis,as that area of the plugin is not visible. CSMIO does handle the axis outside of Mach3, except the Enable checkmark. If you check a axis the rest of the settings are irrelevant, and have no actual effect (so Axis 1 is always axis 1, even if you define different pint in Mach3. Oonly the other in- and outputs can be configured through mach3, the motors have to be set up with the plugin, but on my pc running W7 (and a different laptop running Windows XP on a dual boot)the plugin is there, but the only thing I see is a tab where I can see the in and outputs light up, there is no way to configure the axis from there.

Does someone know what is going on, I have the newest Mach3 demo version (have had different controllers before, and most of them were lacklustre, so I am not dead sure about Mach3 yet) and the latest firmware.
