General Mach Discussion / Re: DRO are not to set valeu in it

« on: October 22, 2017, 05:07:23 AM »

Hello Craig
I've tried what you wrote. For the Mach3 version that works, it's correct what you wrote. For the rest, the problem remains. We have installed 3 computers mach3 on Friday, of which 2 the same model under windows 7 is another model under windows 10 and these all showed the problem. I have a new computer 2 months old with windows 10 and also have Mach 3 geistalized without any problems. It's not the first time I'm dealing with this problem, usually I can fix this by reinstalling Mach 3 if I've removed everything from Mach 3 to the remaining files. I've installed 100 times Mach 3 but this time I'm probably not going to buy another computer for that project.

Greetings Benny

Hello, how can I change the settings of the coordinates? For the moment, this is the most prominent explanation. I do not know why it's on most computers without problems, and with some computers it just does not work. probably again something that has to do with windows.

I am sure that it is not the problem of the reset the machine is work for the rest fine, so the only problem is that if I have to fill in the valeu example when I am turning of the x axis it is not posible , I have this problem sometimes whit the install of Mach3 on a computer  in the most case when I remove mach3 complete and install it again the problem is solve, know I have a problem that the problem stays.

I have regular a  problem that I can not put valeu in the DRO in the X Y Z axis I can set them on zero but when I clik on the DRO it change the color but I can not put in a valeu.
I have clear everthing from Mach3 and install the program again but it stays the same. this problem I have whit some computers some othe computers install it whitout any problem do I have somebody any idea what the problem is and how to solve I get more the idea that it is something in Windows.

Do somebody have the compleet electrical schematics of the Emco PC55 Mill so that I can convert it to Mach3 whit less modification.

Hello Thomas
I have the turret working on the marco I have turn the encoder a litte bit so that there is a delay between the 2 signals.
and the major problem was that signal was triggering on the go down flank that I aspect that is was working on the going up flank.

So the marco have to run on a Emco Turn 50 machine

so I use a marco and the freqence is maybe 1Hz this can not be the problem, the Macro work whit other people only it work not good whit me.

so it have only to read the inputs van de turret when it is moving and so it is not posible to read 2 inputs the same time.
so when the turret is moving you never know what place it gone stop.

Hello do somebody have any idea what the input freqencie is from this module I can't get 2hz as input, and for a turret I am missing pulse on it when the turret is turning.
I have the idea that it is not posible to read 2 inputs tougether.
I have done this whit e LeaveBoy 77 card and never have problems whit it.
