Third party software and hardware support forums. / SANYO DENKI DC Servo Motor

« on: June 23, 2017, 03:47:06 AM »

Hello together,

for the moment i am working on a retrofit of a Tong IL TNV40 Mill.
at the ATC is a SANYO DENKI DC Servo Motor Type C-200-20A8.

Sanyo Denki and Tong IL are not willed to give a electric connection diagram.

So  i am asking on this way, maybe one of you has got one.

Thanks in advance Thomas

hi,
i am not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are in a Screen you can
define two button's one witch has the Hotkey F1 and th other Shift F1.
than you can run two seperate scripts-

hi,
i am not 100% sure, but i think you can not run a oembutton from vb script.

a Workaround would be to use doOEMButton(301) witch runs the macro witch is set by SetTRiggerMacro,
and then you can run the macro from different "places".

Hi,

have you tryed to use DoButton(9) insted of DoOEMButton(1009).
this button is used in the Standard Screen set.

hi Jeff,

i am not realy sure, what you like to do, but if i understand you right something like this should work:

lets say you like to modify OEMdro2000 and you hit the "key" 1 on your virtual Keyboard the VBmakro for KEY1 could
be something like this:

Code: [Select]

Sub Main

  ActValue = GetOEMDro(2000)

  If ((ActValue  <= 9) AND (ActValue  > 0)) Then
    ActValue = ActValue * 10
    GoTo write
  End If

  If ((ActValue  <= 99) AND (ActValue  > 0)) Then
    ActValue = ActValue * 100
    GoTo write
  End If

  If ((ActValue  <= 999) AND (ActValue  > 0)) Then
    ActValue = ActValue * 1000
    GoTo write
  End If

  If ((ActValue  <= 9999) AND (ActValue  > 0)) Then
    ActValue = ActValue * 10000
    GoTo write
  End If

  If ((ActValue  <= 99999) AND (ActValue  > 0)) Then
    ActValue = ActValue * 100000
    GoTo write
  End If

write: ActValue=ActValue+1 'Key 1 was pressed

SetOEMDro(2000,ActValue)

End sub
code not tested, just written down.

« on: March 17, 2017, 05:13:14 AM »

for the moment i am little bit confused about the ligic of input1 for doing one step of ATC

in the original macro:

--> UNTIL IN4 OR STOPSW
--> REPEAT
--> UNTIL !IN4 OR STOPSW
--> REPEAT
--> UNTIL IN4 OR STOPSW
--> REPEAT
--> UNTIL !IN4 OR STOPSW

it looks like it is ON at the start

then OFF ON OFF ON

to do one step at ATC

please describe the pattern of input1 to do one step.

Do Until Not IsActive(input1)
   sleep(10)
Loop
