FAQs / Re: When Ref all home Y axis hits the bottom

« on: December 11, 2014, 02:41:05 AM »

Hi,

and what is happening if you are referencing axis by axis in the diagnostic screen ?

if you can get your drill coordinates in a text file,
write a little VB-script with reads the file and
executes the movements.

Thomas

Its easy to write this VB-Script?....I'm noob on codes and programing, i use rhinocam to make the g-codes and a little bit of codes "by hand"....my biggest experience on writing code is on MachTurn.

if you need some help to do this VB-script just let me know.

CS-Lab / Re: Wiring IP-S outputs - Switched 0V side ? howto

Hello hanermo,

the resistor should be between 8/20 and pin 21 .

Hello,

the 10k resistor is only to pull down the CS-Lab output to 0V.

for the relays i normaly take standard 24VDC industrial relays like this:

http://www.voelkner.de/products/36865/100-xl.jpg

easy to connect, easy to fit and working in thousands applications.

by the way this was worng in my 1st reply:

2. if you want to use only the ENABLE Input connect to Pin8/20 , connect Pin9 to 0V and put a 10k resistor
between both.

should be:
2. if you want to use only the ENABLE Input connect CS Output to Pin8/20 , connect Pin9 to 0V and put a 10k resistor
between both.

Hello,

there are two possibilities:

1. if you want to use more than the ENABLE Input (Reset Alm) you have to put 24VDC Relays to the outputs
from the IP-S an use the contacts like you have shown in yor second drawing.

2. if you want to use only the ENABLE Input connect to Pin8/20 , connect Pin9 to 0V and put a 10k resistor
between both.

Hi,

why dont you rum both sides with the same step/dir signal's (paralell).
ok. referencing is a little bit tricky, but the normal run is 100% sync.

Hi Arman,

in my machine i have a tool present switch for every toolholder and in the spindle,
it depends on how "save" and "idiotproved" the system should run.
