Mach4 General Discussion / Finish Z Move before X or Y

« on: March 02, 2018, 01:37:11 PM »

I am having an issue with my code. When I program a move on the Z to move the cutter into the work, before it reaches it's bottom position, the X or Y move begins.

Attached is the code

General Mach Discussion / Re: Home Offset

« on: January 03, 2018, 09:20:11 AM »

I have tried numerous variations with the home switch placement and the disabling of the index homing. Nothing changes other then if the Home Offset is set to Zero. Ant other value causes the axis to be have as described and cause a following error.

This happens with any axis that is not set to Zero for a Home Offset

Here is a list of the hardware I am using

Mach 4 Hobby - 2.0.3481

DSPMC/IP motion controller - Plugin -2.01.72

Yaskawa servo drive - SGDV-7R6A01A

Yaskawa motor - SGMGV-09ADC61

I have also attached a copy of the error log file and a copy of Mach 4 project file,

Any help with a review to see what I may have missed would be great.

Thanks,

I am running the latest version of Mach 4 Hobby
The controller is a Vital Systems DSPMC/IP

General Mach Discussion / Home Offset

Set up system today,

All Axis home to switch then to encoder marker. Z, X ,Y - All works as expected.

Then I programmed a Home Offset for the X Axis.

When run the Homing again, the X Axis move negative to the home switch backs off until the encoder marker, then lurches and trips on following error.

The same thing happens with Y and Z.

If I set the offsets to back to Zero all home and no errors.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: Spindle analog signal

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Spindle analog signal

« on: December 12, 2017, 10:00:28 PM »

Having a mental lapse.

Hard drive crashed. Rebuild system but I cannot remember how I get the analog output to work for the spindle drive.

Spindle type - Analog (0-10v)
Spindle index - 7
Spindle scale - 100%

Using analog output 7 - Analog I/O port - J2 pin 19 and pin 17 (GND)

I get no voltage output from these pins.

What did I miss?

Thanks.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: Wrong Motor Moving

Change DSPMC controller with one for another machine. Downloaded configuration and functions as expected. Re- installed original controller, did a factory reset, download configuration. Same issues as before. Motors will not follow assigned axis.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Wrong Motor Moving

« on: December 11, 2017, 10:52:28 PM »

Setting up new DSPMC controller with Mach4 - Latest firmware and plugins installed

X Axis assigned mMotor (0)
Y Axis Assigned Motor (2) as master, Motor(1) as slave
Z Axis assigned Motor (3)

All motors are controlled via Step/Direction

Here is what is happening. From the DSPMC Config screen,
 - select Motor(0), do a test motion for this motor. Motor(0) move as it should, but Motor(1) follows Motor(0)
 - Select Motor(2), do a motion test for this motor, Motor(2) moves, but Motor(1) does not.
 - Remove Motor 1 as Slave for Y Axis, do a motion test for Motor(2), no motion on Motor(2), Following error for Motor(1)

I have reviewed all configuration parameters and all looks OK

Any thoughts? Thanks,

There are no I/o connected to the system yet, I have only enabled 2 inputs and 2 outputs,
Enable #0 - [P11] Output 0,
Enable #1 - [P11] Output 1,
Input #0 - [P11] Input 15
