Mach3 turn stops after 150 lines
« on: October 20, 2018, 07:13:28 AM »
Hi,

I use Mach3 mill for 2 years and I am really happy with it.

So now my CNC lathe is ready to work, but I have a big problem and I dont´t know why.
I use windows xp 32bit with sp3  paraleport and Mach3 turn R3.043.066.
If I load the program code into Mach3, it stops always at line 150.

My pc in my living room has windows 7 ultimate 64bit and I always test the programm there and look at the preview window.
So the program runs perfectly to the end.

Booth Pc has the same settings and they aren´t in the demo mode.

I would be very grateful if you can help me.

Regards racer2012

Do you have any message in the status bar when your Gcode stops at line 150 ??

Could be a problem with your Gcode - one install of Mach3 accepts it the other does not. Probably the most common cause of one PC accepting Code and another not is the IJ settings being different between the two PC's. Perhaps check this (Config. / General Config.).

There are known issues with Mach3 version .066 so I suggest that you download and install version R3.043.062 http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/
It can be installed over the top of your existing version without loosing your settings but always make a secure backup of your existing Mach3 folder (just in case).

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

PEACE

Thank you for your help.
No messages in staus, it stops like program ending.

I have mach3  reinstalled, have the program run in demo mode and it stops again at line 150th.
Could it be that my license is not recognized, although it is displayed to me at "help"-> about mach3 control.

I will install version R3.043.062 and give you a feedback.

It is not a license issue - In Mach3 Turn the unlicensed limit is 50 lines of Gcode.

Do you have any message in the Status bar / window when it stops at line 150 ?

I just tried your Gcode (simulation on my PC) and after removing your stop comments it ran all 200 lines just fine.

I am out of ideas on this one.
Perhaps one of the Turn experts has come across this problem before and knows the answer.

Hi,

so the error still exists.

I have Mach3 turn R3.043.062 installed on a PC of a friend, only in demo mode.
Mach3 has never been installed on the PC, the Pc has Win7 Ultimate.
We try my posted Gcode with the demo mode and it runs perfectly to the end.

Next we try to test mach3 on another pc with win xp 32 bit.

So I tested a other Win XP 32bit Pc, exactly the same problem.
It always stopped at line 150, with or without a license.

In summary, at two different Win 7 ultimate Pc's it runs perfectly to the end, with and  without license and at two different Win XP 32bit Pc's it always stopped at line 150 with and without license.

Mach 3 should stop in the demo version after 50 lines of code, but I continue to line 150.
My guess is that I have a problem with the license. maybe you have more ideas and solutions.

Hi,

In simulation mode or without the driver installed Mach3 Turn will run without any line limitation with or without a license file installed. It is only when the driver has been installed that the 50 line limit applies.

hi,

at the other 3 Pc's there was no hardware connected, because it is a bit more difficult to get to the electronics of the machine. It was tested in each case in the simulation and as if I were starting a real program, the result is at Win7 that it runs to the end and at XP stops after 150 lines, just like at the machine.
The problem with Win 7 ultimate 64 bit is that it does not support the paarallelport
