dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Tuning dspMC with Axis Works.
« on: December 23, 2008, 10:14:51 AM »
Im running a 2 axis plasma with dual servos and the dspMC motion controller.

I've tuned the servo drives and im trying to get motion via the motion controller but they dont give much information on setting up your drives with the axis works in the install manual.

When I arm the PID, the motor moves 3000 steps and stops and it seams to be regardless of what i have setup to jog in the axis works. I put in the suggested PID values with no luck. Anyone had any experience with this controller, how did you set up your PID values?

And how is the "execute command" function supposed to work. It seams like this button does nothing. I'll press "arm PID" once and nothing happens, and if i press it again, i get movement. Then the third time the light beside "arm PID" go green and nothing happens. It seems like the "execute command" button has no function.

General Mach Discussion / Prompting to initialize dspMC
« on: December 22, 2008, 10:41:12 AM »
I've got my servo's tuned and my dspMC connected to my PC, however, when i launch Mach3 i am not prompted to assign a Plug In.

Anyone know how to configure mach3 manually to communicate with the dspMC? I've tried to "reset device sel" under the config pulldown but all it asks me is to agree to terms of useage upon reload.

I can arm the PID and jog the servo's via the dspMC so im definately connected.

And FYI, im controlling a 5X10 plasma table with a X-Y axis control and manual THC controlled by a pneumatic cylinder. My intention is to assign a coolant flood function to a solenoid to control the THC and assign an IO, but if anyone had a better suggestion, id be grateful.
