You need something like this I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it now

Code: [Select]

SignalTable = {001,
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT0] = function (on_off)
        if (on_off == 1) then
            mc.mcCntlCycleStart(inst)
        end
    end
}
SignalTable = {002,
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (on_off)
        if (on_off == 1) then
            mc.mcCntlCycleStop(inst)
        end
    end
}
SignalTable = {003,
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (on_off)
        if (on_off == 1) then
            mc.mcCntlReset(inst)
        end
    end
}
SignalTable = {004,
    [mc.ISIG_INPUT3] = function (on_off)
        if (on_off == 1) then
            mc.mcCntlFeedHold(inst)
        end
    end
}   
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------   

if (SignalTable[001] ~= nil) then
SignalTable[sig](state)
end

if (SignalTable[002] ~= nil) then
SignalTable[sig](state)
end

if (SignalTable[003] ~= nil) then
SignalTable[sig](state)
end

if (SignalTable[004] ~= nil) then
    SignalTable[sig](state)
end

Have a look up https://www.youtube.com/user/hossmachine/videos Hoss use's a C6 to run the motors and other stuff and a pokeys for IO, on his control panel.
With the pokeys you set it to a IO devices, Mach can use one motion control and one or more IO at once.

your ESS will be the motion devices on that board and the pokeys set IO, It's in the pokeys manual how to do it.

The Pokeys 57cnc is a monster of a devices it's a mile a head of the ESS the ESS may catch up one day.

Have a look on the pokeys web sight there is instructions on there for doing just what you wont http://blog.poscope.com/mach4-tutorial-custom-signal-mapping/

most of the fusion post are derived from the haas post and have to be adjusted to work the fanuc way of doing stuff if they are fanuc based

Mach3 is fine for the post, if you are not sure just run it in sim on another computer then do a dry run on the machine, the bog standard fanuc post works fine as well.

Mauri I have not use M4 sinces the cv stuff was added, I am weighting to my pendent can be used with M4 before I move over, When that is working I will be as M4 is faster than M3 and works just that much better it's worth moving over, with the same trajectory engine M4 is better.

I got M4 to 0.001 +- .001 M3 is .002 +-002 after 1000 moves on any axis doing a Vcarve

Mauri Try a Vcarve, M3 struggles with V carving, It was better in the M4 2.0 versions than what M3 could do at the same feed, velocity and file I have not tried the new version.

it controls not drives as in it does not have a spindle controller on it but can control a spindle driver/controller I have it controlling a superpid and a G540 I did not put that to well
