hi
i upgraded a bridgeport boss 8 and it has a few problems first i will describe the setup then the problems.
installed 1 smooth stepper used port 3 for mpg
installed 1 cnc4pc c23 dual port board
installed 3 viper 200 drives
installed 1 2hp vfd from automation direct
installed 1 mpg2 pendant from cnc4pc
i checked and reused the orriginal drive power supply.main estop is hardware estop kills power to machine and notifies mach.
all signal wires are shielded with the shield connected only on one side.
installed capacitors .01 mfd on all inputs
modified the orriginal brains from cnc4pc to run the pendant "all i really did was remove lines that apply to other pendants as this pendant doesnt have extra switches for more axises"
machine was running
had problem with spindle forward and reverse i believe i have solved this however mach wont switch between high and low by itself i need to change to the settings page and change it manually
now i try to mill and the machine will cut a random amount and stop then reset will flash. mach doesnt have an error so i dont know what is tripping the reset. also the viper drives have led's and reset switches hooked up these are not tripped. the vfd is not tripped.
so the main question is what would cause mach 3 to trip reset randomly
thank you
