HiCON Motion Controller / Re: 7766 / Mach4 Homing issue

Does this only happen when referencing all axes?

Can you home one axis at a time?

Looks like you are running an outdated version of firmware and an older version of the plugin.

make sure the limit sensors are not triggered.  you can verify that in the mach4 maitainence tab.

currently there is no option to disable DHCP. 

in your dhcp server, have you tried define static address for the dspmc unit?

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: How to access registers of hicon integra

« on: November 16, 2017, 11:48:09 AM »

You can access the registers by name starting with HiCON. You can view the names of registers in Mach4 file menu Diagnostics->Regfile

The registers are read only

Code: [Select]

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

local regHandle = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, 'HiCON/Encoder0')
local val = mc.mcRegGetValue(regHandle)

can you try different ribbon cable?

make sure 24v and GND between 7737 and Integra are connected like I told you in the previous post.

>I had to jumper the estop to 24V on the encoder board and use an input directly on the Integra

make sure you use the same 24v supply on both the 7737 encoder board and the Integra unit.  just to be safe, take 24 and GND from Integra J16 and connect to 24V and Gnd on 7737 J3.

you can re-enable encoder feedback and do test motion.  you can then see the feedback line which way it is moving when you command test motion.  if it moving opposite to the commanded, then all you have to do it to reverse the encoder polarity in the system tab.  also make sure you have encoder debounce set to 100mhz or more.
