General Mach Discussion / Re: No Outputs on a UC300 USB on Mach3
« on: February 10, 2019, 07:08:10 AM »
Ok, so an update to this one...
The IO monitor for the UC300 showing just inputs / outputs 1-40 or 50, and not separating them into different ports was giving me the hang-up. I could see no reason for this, unless of course the UC300 has taken a bolt (electrically) and gone to the afterlife, noonger differentiating between it's ports.
As it was working fine, and then suddenly not, I went the software route first, tried the backup XML, no changes, then removed and re-installed UC300 drivers and the UC300 IO monitor is now showing ports and pins as it should. A few changes to settings and the machine is back.
Still need to consider other changes, possibly to a UC400 ETH, I'm not convinced my spindle is driven via a charge pump, EMI / RF filtering is poor/ non existent (but I need a three-phase filter to the inverter) and if i can find one a No Volt Relay for three phase as well, but for now the machine is back, and I can spend whats left of my weekend catching up on the work it should have been doing the last few days!
Thanks for your advice on this. Combined with all the other reading I have done on the site this has all been invaluable in helping get the machine back working.
