Your screen set is so good . You are a great guy. Thank you for your sharing. I will be testing. But I cannot find Simulate Program Button in your screen set. This button is very useful for me to know the program run time. Please insert this button if you are OK.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Can I use Suqiang SN2000 Serial Servo motor drive with Mach3

« on: February 25, 2010, 11:29:24 AM »

Dear Hood

I finished my cnc conversion with this motor drive and motor(SN 2000 serial servo). Thank you so much for your valuable advice.

But I have some problem with this machine. My machine going home at the start of mach3. My motor drive often got error Y or X homming sequence at the start of my machine. The error code is Error3. I turn off the drive that show error and turn on again. After that everything is ok. The drive error often get at the start of my machine. I think my driver should be change some parameters. I try to change some parameter reference from the manual book. But It didn't work. I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help and advice me. Thank you.

High Tech Key

can you explain WHY you want the limit switches to work while you are homing?

Ian

Dear Ian

My machine has two limit switches and one home switch for each axis. One limit switch and one home switch of X axis exist at the right of the machine. So my machine must be move at the right side when homing. Last four days, my machine X axis arrived between home switch and right limit switch. At that time, I do machine homing and machine move to the rignt side. But home switch exist at the left side and machine touch the right limit switch. But mach3 software ignores limit switch while homing. So, X axis reached at the end of ball screw. Luckily, motor drive got error and stop motor without damage my machine. But it must be dangerous condition.

Some system uses one switch for home and limit together. It may be OK for this system. But my system uses home and limit switch separately. I think mach3 software should sense the limit switch while homing.

I hope you will understand what I mean. Please give me some advice how can I solve this problem? Thank a lot.....

Dear Hood

Thank for your reply. I had already set for home and limit switch input pins. I use pin number 11, 12, 13 for X, Y, Z home switches and 15 for all limit switches. All of the switch work well at running time.

But the limit switch cannot work while my machine is moving reference home. I press "All reference Home" button and then my machine moving home. At that time I push the limit switch button and it isn't work. After reference home finish, limit switch is work well. I think limit switch must be work while the machine is moving home. How can I solve this problem.

Please help me. My english is so bad. I hope you can understand what I mean. Thank you so much.

Version 1.04

Changed A axis scale to Rotation Diameter for 4 axis work. Should have always been this way. The A Scale button image is included if you want to change it back.

Removed Z axis Auto Zero button. Replaced with Go To Safe Z.

Added Flyout window for Ernie's Probing routines.

I copied these from Ernie's modified Mach Blue screenset.
These can be accessed with the TAB key, or by clicking the Artsoft logo (for Bob and his touchscreen )

Also added a (very) short .pdf manual.
