Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4demo & csmio-ip-s HELP

« on: September 06, 2018, 01:34:02 AM »

Hi.
Im toying with the idea of moving to mach4 from mach3.

Ive installed the demo version and plugin for CS labs csmio-ip-s motion controller.
When i run the demo. I cant select the csmio motion controller. It dosent show up in he options
Menu. Ive checked the plugin folder and the files are there.

Does it need to be a full version of mach4hobby to be able to test a motion controller?

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

CS-Lab / HELP new to csmio-s and MPG module.

« on: December 01, 2017, 07:51:10 PM »

Im having trouble with getting the DRO moving when turning the pulse wheel. I can get mach3 to see the change in axis and resolution. The MPG module LED is flickering with the detents on the wheel. I have mach3 mpg#1 selected in ports and pins. The canbus address is 32. So i have set both port address in ports and pins to 32.
Does anyone have a screen cap of their MPG inputs they could share please. Or an idea as to what im missing?
I must also say im not using the handheld pendant. I have my own pulse wheel and axis selects wired up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should also note. I dont have any drives or motors connect as yet.

Galil / Galil RIO 47200 modbus setup

« on: March 13, 2017, 03:11:24 AM »

Hi. Im looking at using the Galil RIO 47200 in my current cnc project for simple inputs from POTs and buttons.
I thought when I purchased it. That I could program it with ladder. But it turns out only the pocket version does this
By converting the ladder into Galil's programming language. Does anyone have any program examples that transmits
IO data via modbus to mach3 that they would be willing to share with me please?

Brains Development / Axis Feed Hold Brains

« on: January 26, 2016, 10:06:29 PM »

Hi. New to brains. And I need a little help please.
Ive finished setting up my rotary axis. A Axis with a pneumatic clamp on output 9. Activated by a couple of macros I wrote using M57 clamp ON. And M58 clamp OFF.
How can I make sure that a A axis feed command will not drive when the clamp is on.

To simplify. If M57 (output 9) is activated. No movement is allowed on the A axis only till the clamp is released with M58.

I tried a couple of things in the brains. But the air cylinder dosen't release fast enough and drives off with the brake on for a second.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

General Mach Discussion / Rotary axis position issue

« on: January 04, 2013, 11:51:08 PM »

Has anyone had trouble with their rotary axis going the long way around in G1 mode?
If I feed G1 A10 F100 from Zero. It Feeds
If I G1 A9 from A10 it goes the long way around instead of moving 1 degree.

I have the rollover box ticked in general config andthe other one that makes the G0 take the shortest route.
Current Version of Mach3 is 3.043.062

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
