Hi
I have just started converting my Dyna Mechatronics 4400 to Mach3 (I will go with Mach4 later on when it has matured a bit).
I have a problem with the spindle speed.
My Setup* Mach3 R3.043.066
* Ethernet Smoothstepper (ESS_v10h2d1a.dll)
* Windows XP Pro SP3 x86
* CNC4PC C23 breakout board. Using onboard analog output controlled through step pin (port 1 pin 14)
If I enter a speed in the
Spindle Speed field and press
Spindle CW F5 the spindle starts at correct speed. Also, when I press the spindle override buttons, the spindle speed changes.
So far, so good.
Description of problemIf I enter
S1000M3 in MDI mode, the spindle starts, but at the wrong speed. The entered speed (1000) appears in the
Spindle Speed field, but wrong speed.
If I change Spindle Speed Override just by one click, the speed changes and ends up correct.
The same thing happens if I run a program in auto, i.e. the spindle speed does not get correct until I increase/decrease override.
I have no idea if this problem is relate to Mach3 or the ESS, so I will post this into both forums. Has anyone else experienced this? May there be something wrong with the configuration?
