Brains Development / Is this possible to do?

« on: April 03, 2011, 04:32:50 PM »

Hi guys,
Is this possible to do in Brains or is a PLC the way to go?

4 inputs
4 outputs

If In1 High Out1 = High
If In2 High Out2 = High
If I1n+In2 high Out1 FLASHING and Out2 is Low

Cheers
Bengt

Hi Scott and Boris,

Problem solved, there must be pull-up resistors on MPG inputs to get clear signals. I have now 10K but maybe Boris can chime in and set a proper level as he knows the board better than anybody else.

Now I can continue my work on my pendant.

Scott,

I have read the text, MPG is connected but no proper response. In single step mode I get no response on each step just occasional here and there.
So there must be something fishy going on, my PoKeys has serial # 10902
Cheers Bengt

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the list.

I started with MPG and I have now tested 2 different units one older Fanuc and one more modern Euchner.
Having problems to get these to respond in a proper way, is there some problems with MPG's and PoKeys? I think I have tried all possible settings and still no go.
Even in stepmode steps are lost no matter how slow or fast I turn the wheel. I believe both are 2x100 pulses/rev not sure about the Fanuc as this old MPG is new for me and
i cannot find data on the web. A860-0201-T002 manufactured September 1984.

Is there a list of to-do's for setting up MPG's, earlier I have had some troubles getting MPG's to work via ModIO but is way back and I have not used MPG's since. Pport did work
OK in those early days with MPG as I recall.

Cheers Bengt

PoKeys / How do I setup this in Mach?

Hi,
How do I setup following Pendant in Mach3?



The handcontroll includes following:

MPG pins 1 and 2
Matrix keyboard 3-7 for columns and 14-17 for rows
LED matrix 9-10-11 these are LED's built in on switches in Keymatrix
LCD 4x20 on pins 23-26 28-30
Analog in for S and F override on pins 43 and 44

What parts do I have to tick in PoKeys Cfg?
Where do I do the keymapping for the keymatrix and LED mapping for the LED matrix?

Cheers Bengt

Dear Boris,
I asked a polight question on how and why it is like that, your answer is no answer.
Even if it is a bit 'technical' I would like to see more detailed answer why it is like that and why the 2nd configuration.

OK
Can you explain why only one can be used and there is data pins for two displays.
