I had some funky stuff going on with my z axis encoder until I updated the firmware in my IP-A to .703. it was delivered with .700

CS-Lab / CSMIO-ENC Spindle Orientation

« on: January 16, 2016, 07:38:00 PM »

Trying to orient the spindle for tool changes.

CSMIO/IP-A, CSMIO-IO, CSMIO-ENC

Check box in "Align at stop" of csmio plugin is enabled. Spindle encoder is connected to ENC module. RPM and spindle orientation show in monitor.

Machine is Bridgeport VMC 760/22 with Siemens 911 drive control, analog +-10

Anyone know how this function in CSMIO-ENC works? Just found today that M19 exists but not at machine to try or see if it needs macro code.

I can read the position with a macro but the spindle needs to be < 5 rpms to catch 0(zero) degrees reliably.

First post on forum. New to Mach3 and CS-Lab controllers. All the retrofit has gone amazingly smooth and then this silly spindle orientation smacks me.

Thanks for any help..
