Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Lua Signal Table

« on: January 03, 2016, 05:30:14 AM »

You are trying to do it the old way, in your table your using the on_off but in your signal script your using state ,

Put your signal script back to how it was and use the already created table in the startup script and a signal like this

Code: [Select]

[mc.ISIG_INPUT63] = function (state)
   if (state == 1) then   
       mc.mcCntlFeedHold(inst)
    else
    --    do something else or not
    end
end,

Backlash is not yet implemented in the ESS plugin but will be in the new plugin that should be release shortly (please).

If you want to use the table version of this then your best place to add it is within the startup script, it is declared only once there and there are examples already there, this creates a table of signal check and what to do with them, this is then activated from the signal script the same as a function would be in the PLC.

This screen has alway been there in the config section of the plugin.

Step 1 open the plugins.


Step 2 open ESS configure


Step 3 goto homing tab within plugin

If you are seeing the switching on the led then it is working, other things to check is that you have filled in the settings correct on the settings tab of the probing screen.

You need to be using the diagnostic leds to check that the probe is working first and setup correct before trying to use the probing screen.

Looks like you need to flip your input signal as mach4 is seeing the signal as active, try ticking the active low box on the signal input, also verify on the diagnostic screen that the probe is lighting the led.

The make of the probe etc would help out quite a lot.

As I thought, you need to set your homing in the ess config, yours is empty so the ess dont know what to do.

Heres an example
