General Mach Discussion / Installed Mach3 after hard drive failure

« on: August 10, 2008, 04:47:56 AM »

Hi all

I installed mach on a new hard drive after my origanal drive failed but now I can not get the turret going.I did copy the XLM file to give me the same setup and i did check that all the settings were correct. I use the same Xp  software as before. It seems thet it is not reading the M6 macro. If you call for atool change the dro does change but the turret is not moving.Any suggestions

Hallo Scott

I think the serial modbus board stoped working because it was working with one m12 pcb and i can not even get that working it gives me a CRC error all the time.

Thank you for the help I will wait until Aurtro is back from leave.

HI Poppabear

Yes I do use 2 M 12 PCB boards.Then I will have 24 inputs and 24 outputs. 8 analog input and 8 analog outputs.I first set up only one M 12 pcb and got that working Fine. then I wanted to and the second M12 Pcb. As soon As I change My config In the mobbus setup To 24 Inputs 24 outputs 8 analog outputs 8 analog input and 2  encoder inputs the whole system stops.Then I can not even test the system with modbus test setup. Both boards are working I tasted them Seprately.I must be doing some thing wrong in the setup.

Thank You

Hi All

I have A probleme With a second serial modbus Card These Boards are Arturo M12 serial modbus Boards. My first Board is working Great but I ran out Off inputs so I decide to fit the second pcb.When I check the pcb in Modbus  set up under the test Screen the inpus work .But the brain that i wrote does not see the Inputs.I  the brain You select serial modbus, starting pin 16 because it is the second pcb and  it is the first input. then You use a lobe(no operation) nop and then you terminate with a the cycle start putton press. Then you Close mach and restart. You enable the brain and restart again. then when you view the brain and press the cycle start button (external) nothing happens. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks
