I use an ESS with a PMDX-126.
The HICON Integra is nice also.
Hey All, It's been a while but I am making progress.
@Bill_O Your setup sounded good so I went with it. I have the PMDX-126 and ESS in the mill and wired up to the motor controls and the limit switches. Would you please share some of your ESS and Mach4 config screens with me?
I have my motors wired and mapped in the ESS like below, is that correct?
2 X Step - Port 1 pin 2
3 X Dir - Port 1 pin 3
4 Y Step - Port 1 pin 4
5 Y Dir - ...
6 Z Step - ...
7 Z Dir - ...
8 A Step - ...
9 A Dir - ...
My limit switches are wired up to the following pins. If the above mappings are correct, then I think I know how to take care of 13 and 15, but how do I reference the lettered pins from the ESS setup?
13 - Z--
15 - Z++
E - X--
F - X++
G - Y--
H - Y++
Any pointers about getting my setup to work Machine --> PMDX --> ESS --> Mach4 would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
