HiCON Motion Controller / Re: THC setup Sequence Aborted- Arc Pro combo package

« on: February 05, 2020, 02:02:41 PM »

Thank you for sharing the attachment it takes out a lot of guessing work.

You seem to have the 4.04 firmware on your Integra. The version attached is 4.07. You can use the VSIDeviceManager to load the 4.07 firmware on your Integra.

Also check if you have the motor4 enabled in HiCON plugin config. You can jog it from within the plugin and then confirm by jogging using mach.

We tested the setup and in our tests we got normal behavior.

Hello jengineer1

Do you have the THC150?
Does the torch move all the way to your set value of Probe limit = -3.9945?
Check for confirmation in mach4 and HiCON plugin for probe LED on.
Thanks

Hello,

Looks like you are using older plugin (2.02.17).
We have optimized and updated the plugin  to version 2.03.24 following is the download link:

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: Integra not responding to pings when on network

« on: October 15, 2019, 01:36:59 PM »

If I update the Integra's IP address to 192.168.1.99 will that allow the Integra be seen on the network?

Yes.

HiCON Motion Controller / Re: Connecting Sainsmart ST-M5045 drivers

These low-cost drives are enabled by default, so you really don't need to wire anything to the ENA inputs if you want to enable it.  So the best way is to not wire the Enable signals to these drives.

Hello,

The following changes are needed for connecting Integra 7866 with ST-M5045:

1. Step+-, Dir+- needs to be connected as shown in the attached image.

2. You can connect J6 +5V  to ENA+ and use the J15 NP0 on the Integra 7866 controller to connect the Enable input signal from the drive. You also should map the J15 NP0 to Enable#  signal on Mach4 which is set to 'Active Low'.

For further reading please visit our "Knowledge Base" from this link:

Go to "Stepper/Servo Connections" section for other Integra 7866- Driver connections.
