Finished Screens / Re: New Interface in Italian and in English for Mach3: Itascreenset V. 2.0

Dear giordano
         I had already downloaded your Italian English screenset and testing. It is a great work. But you have left some translation for english at Job Control screen. Do you understand what I mean? My english skill is a little bad. So, I upload some picture for this screen. It is also left at "Set step per unit" button in "Setting" mode. I also upload this photo. Please translate and modify for this if you are OK. Thank.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Orac Lives

« on: September 18, 2009, 10:48:58 AM »

Hi all,

Some progress at last !!

Orac had been dead for about 9 months since I bought it, but recently with a bit of concentrated effort Im making progress....

1) Control Panel built
2) Frame / bench fitted with a 6mm steel top
3) Orac fitted with a new Z motor
4) The spindle motor was repositioned from behind the chuck to a more orthodox loaction of behind the headstock.
5) PC loaded with a clean install of Mach

Rapids are 2,000mm per min which is fast enough for a little machine.
Some work still to do with the position of the keyboard / monitor...this will be mounted at the tailstock end.
I'll fit coolant (main reason for moving tye spindle motor) and use the space under the maching vacated by the old controls for a small tank and pump
AND - get the tool changer working. There is some good info on the forum which will get me started.

I run a quick test, cutting a half sphere on the end of a 25mm dia ali bar - great to see it working at last.


Here is a photo of Orac > http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/2382/img6143.jpg

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

Dear Sir
        Now I finish testing for input1. It is work. Thank..... I have another question. I want to move my axis for Reference All Home function at the start of Mach3 program. I found some startup function for Gcode in General Config. I insert G30 for return home. It is working. But I need All Reference Home at the start of mach3. How can I do for this. I think you understand what I mean. My English skill is a little bad.

Dear Hood,
      Thank for your reply. I want to know about input pin for Servo Alarm. I enable Input #1 at Port and Pin. Then I use port1 pin13 for input pin. I test this pin with external input button. But it is not work anything. I test this button for limit switch and estop switch input. This perfectly work. How can I do for using servo alarm input? I think I will do some setting for Input #1. Please advice me.
      I also want to know about OEM Trig for input signals. I enable and set the pin, port number for OEM Trig. Then I go to System Hotkey and set for OEM code. Where can I find OEM code for cycle start, stop, estop and etc. Thank a lot....

Dear Hood
        I have been read Suqiang SN 2000 manual book. Now, I draw the connection diagram for one axis servo system with Mach3 control. I upload this drawing and please advice me it may be work or not. I hope it can be work. I use EL817 photocoupler for opto isolation between parallel port and servo driver. I read from manual that this drive can input single phase or three phase 220 VAC. So, I input single phase 220VAC.  I want to know about my input power is single phase and servo motor using U, V, W 3 phases power. Is it OK or not? Please explain me about this power system.
        Will I need Alarm Clear (Pin 9 in CN1) and Deviation Clear (Pin 23 in CN1)? I think it is not so important. I also want to know about output pins from Servo Drive (Servo Ready, Servo Alarm, Position Complete, etc). Do I need to use with mach3 system for output pins from servo driver. How can I connect with mach3 if I want to use this output pins? I hope you can advice me about this system. Thank a lot...

Thank you for your explaining. Now, I understand a lot. I will read manual carefully and wiring the drive. I will ask more questions if I see some difficulty.

Dear Hood
        Thank for your reply. I don't understand to set PA 14 to 1 for single ended input. I have no experience with servo drive. Please explain more details. I see 2 pins for Plus and 2 Pins for sign. Which pin can I use? Can I use only 18 and 19 pin for step and direction as you reply. Thank...
