Input Configuration
« on: January 12, 2010, 02:51:00 PM »
Hi, I am using a Galil 1750 controller with sinusoidal comutation on the X and Y axis. I have downloaded the latest version of Mach3 and the Galil plugin. I am not sure how to configure the inputs on the Ports and Pins screen of Mach. Only inputs #1 to #4 are listed, how do I configure inputs #5 to #8 and what is the best way to configure the E-Stop input?  Thanks Kit

Kit,

If you look where you downloaded plugin there is a pdf file that explains the I/O numbering.

The pdf HillBilly refers to does indeed explain the I/O numbering, for Input1 thru 16. Unfortunately my question referred to Ports and Pins screen of Mach which only lists Input1 thu 4, so my question remains, how do I allocate pin numbers to Inputs5 thru 16? Am I being even more dense than usual?

OEMTriggers can be used for the rest. BRAINS or VB will handle the logic.

I would not say dense, it is kinda scattered. Hopefully Mach3 ver4 will handle this differently.
