Make it ten bucks!!!! I've spent every free moment I had on this thing and I'm so close to being able to use it!!!

Hi

I have a old Kondia CNC that had a Dynapath S10. I have recently retrofitted with Camsoft and Galil DMC-1842 and ICM-2900. You can see my other thread in this section. I have slowly been making progress with the conversion to Mach3. ( I never had camsoft running, I didn't even try.) I could not figure out the spindle control so I got a cheap Haunyang and tried to run one of the mach plug-ins. I could not get the spindle to run more that a few seconds before shutting down with a false E-stop. I tried changing the Debounce and it seemed to have no effect. I replaced the spindle harness with a shielded VFD style harness. The harness changes seemed to have no effect. I finally gave up on the plug-in and the wired the spindle threw Galil. Now I have had it working for a couple days with no false E-stops. then all of the sudden I started having issues again... :( Changing the Debounce from 10 to 100 to 1500 to 2500 none changes the issue. The E-Stop only happens when the spindle is on and I'm running a program. I have been dry running ( no cutting) with some wizards to test settings.

A few things I've tried.

Moving the computer away from the spindle ~ Seemed to help at first
Placing a piece of sheet metal between Computer and Spindle ~ Seemed to help at first
Debounce settings ~ No change
Rewired VFD with VFD shielded wire ~ No change
Manually controlled spindle with Galil and relays ~ Seemed to help at first.


Any other thoughts or ideas?

How close is too close for the computer to be to the spindle? The VFD is n the other side of the mill but the computer is fairly close to the spindle motor.

Seams this forum is a bit dead....

Will the plugin work with the 4kw version?

Well the three year break must have been just what the mill needed because I got the servos working with the smarterm. The issues/questions I have now is the spindle control. I have five wires going to the spindle control/driver thinggy. Two wires are I believe 0-10v enable. The other three are direction control I think..... So to use Mach/galil to control the spindle I thought I could use my fourth axis control??? But the spindle has no encoder or feedback to the card so will Mach/galil be ok with no feedback on W but still control the spindle???

Second issue/question. The old westamp A651 is velocity controlled, I also have single ended encoders, I've heard this is unstable possibly unsafe. Should I look into new servo drives? If so what drives?

Third issue. The limit switches. I think I will have to run the limit switch in parallel with the servo drivers and Mach. Or I could just run the limit switches to Mach/galil and let the the servo enable feature turn off the drivers when the limits have been tripped? Would that be ok?

Thread from the dead!!! I have had a lot change in my life and I'm now able to restart this project. Steve are you still around????

Well I'm back at it. With the help of Steve, I figured out a few wiring problems, but I still can't seem to get the Servos to hold under the SH command.

I'll go set one up now. I usually am up late and I'll work around your schedule

Yes and that would be wonderful.. I'd throw some money your way for your time!!!

I wonder if there is a ground issue? The encoders are grounded to the mill frame as well as the ground I/O, but no other grounds are connected to the I/O. I dont see how it would affect the signals from the drivers????
