Galil / Re: Wiring limits

« on: March 05, 2014, 09:17:23 PM »

Hi Smurph,

I have been reading everything I can find that you wrote about wiring the ICM-2900 and limits.

I have a Optima 1830 opto ICM-2900 and I am driving gecko drives and steppers.

I have optical limits and home switches. I have attached the PDF to this post could you please try to give me some advice on wiring these.

I hate to keep bugging you, but you really seem to be the most knowledgeable on the Galill products.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for that Matt.

If you would not mind could you try to explain the gear ratio part of Mach.
I keep reading that section, but I just do not really get it

Thanks,
Joe

But did you actually get the machine to move with camsoft?
Are you running Servos or steppers?

I had a little experience with Camsoft. I finally got it to run pretty well with steppers on a bridgeport series rigid ram.
I had to do alot of tweaking within Galil Terminal.
The reason I did not stick with it was Camsoft wanted Thousands of dollars per year for licensing and there support people were very rude.   

I switched to a software called WINGCNC. Ran it for about 10 years.
After 3 years of my equipment being in storage I am now making the move to Mach3.
I do not have to worry about lost production time this time around.

I am finding it to be quite a challenge to  figure out using old Galil products and Mach3.
But it is not the problem of Mach for the most part. It is getting the old Galil stuff to work on newer OS.

I have on ISA bus machine and I can not get the 1740 card to register properly in XP PRO to save my A$$
