General Mach Discussion / Re: Ang Short Rot on G01???

You really don't want to do that with G01 as you would loose total control of the Axis movement. The G01 HAS to do exactly as commanded. The G00 you can get away with a few fudges.

Ray in most cases I believe the motion only occurs when a Z axis block is called. It uses that motion to do the comp as well as the move and finish up at the new comped height.

First thing you have to do is be able to return to a known position on the machine once it has been turned off. You can do this several ways.

You can setup Accurate home switches that allow you to automatically ref home and that would setup the base corrds on the machine the SAME everytime. That way you can return to the exact position on the table when you restart.

You can Manually reference back to a known part of the table or material on startup each time. That provides an exact restart position as well.

NOW you can just write down where you left off (line Number) and then use run from here to return back to that line and restart the cutting.

In a nutshell, (;-) TP

You would be better off just starting from scratch and creating whatever it is you need.

GUYS VERY VERY VERY few people hav evere fooled with a Modbus VFD so there is going to be very little experience on the matter to be shared.

IF you need help with modbus I would contact either Peter Homman(Modio) or Scott Shaffer. They "MAY" be able to help you unwind your mystery
