Here is the manual of the servos. I'm also using DSPMC/IP controller. Thanks.

Hi, yes that could also be possibility but in my case not because I don't have any output shaft to mount the encoder or black wheel. I use servos and rack and pinion drive and there is just 2mm of space between pinion and table. Thanks again for the idea.

Hi,
yes that would also be worth considering. Can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks.

How do you propose to measure the distance of travel? How does the 50m accumulate? If the machine does a 1m rapid and then 11 back-and-forth 100mm moves, does the total equal 1.1m or 2.1m?

I think the total distance should be 2.1m. The rapid moves should also be counted.

I need some help with my auto lubricate system to set it up in mach3. I will need a output to go on and off for a specific set of time on every 50 meters of travel to activate my grease pump system. Is there a way to do it in brains and how. Thanks.

Has anyone succcessfuly connected mpg trough pokeys to use with dspmc? Is that possible or do I need to wire it to a hardware encoder input?

When I connect my pendant to a laptop at my home, MPG works ok and I can see the DRO counts, but when I try to run on my cnc computer I can't get any movement. I get message in status line: Already in joging mode! Can someone please tell me what should I do to make it work. Thanks.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Pokeys and MPG

Hello,

can somebody please help me with my home made pendant. I'm using pokeys and I have connected Mpg to input pins 1 and 2. All of the functions are working (LCD, start, stop, pause, axis selector, x1, x10, x100) except MPG. In mach3 settings page I can see MPG counts but axis dont move. What could be the problem?
