CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Auto Tool Change

« on: August 23, 2010, 08:36:57 PM »

Hi Dave
I have just updated to the latest Mach version (19) and MSM beta 7 and have just come across a slight problem , as I said the other day i have my auto tool changer working perfectly but since I have updated there is a small problem , when I initiate a tool change the auto changer works and the tool changer changes to the tool I request but as the sequence finishes I get a message on the screen which reads ( Control reset ,tool change aborted )  and at the top of the screen it reads ( Scripter Compile Error in C:\Mach3\Macros\MyMachStdMill\M6EndBody.m1s ) , not sure if this is a bug or not as the tool changer worked without any problems with Mach3 version (16) and MSM beta 5
Thanks
Alan

Hi Dave
 I use a DR-06 PLC to communicate to the tool changer , yes I Did you use the M6ATC hook to get tool changer code called during the M6 sequence? as I say it works but very slowly so my Macro script is being found but not sure where to look next

Hi Dave
let me first congratulate you on your very good work with MSM , the only small problem that I have encountered is with my auto tool changer it works with MSM but for some reason operates very slowly , to give you an idea with Mach3 version 3.42.40 it takes around 10 seconds to do a tool change with MSM it takes around 30/40 seconds , have you any ideas as to what might cause this ?? everything else seems to be working fine even the probing
Thanks

Looks very good I for one would use it as I to have an ELO touchscreen , as for the buttons whatever you put in will never suit everyone I say keep up the good work and when done I will certainly give it a go

Hi there
is it true what I hear that Mach3 4.0 update is now not going to be released until the end of the year ?? Is this because of bugs etc ??
