limit switch problem

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

the actual path  of x home (in your hal file) should be:

net x-home-sw <= hm2_7i96s.0.gpio.000.in_not

net x-home-sw => joint.0.home-sw-in

So trace from hm2_7i96s.0.gpio.000.in_not to  x-home-sw to joint.0.home-sw-in

Hi..Thanks for reply...I made change...same result...I made the change under the external input signals...is that right?....if so... I am not familiar with homing variables...anything that could be set wrong to make switch ignored?

Thanks again for your help..

Controlling existing motors with resolvers

Category: Driver Boards

I've done a little research, and have found three types of devices that are sometimes called resolvers:
  1. brushless resolvers
  2. variable reluctance resolvers
  3. sin/cos encoders
It appears that brushless and variable reluctance resolvers are excited and measured the same way and should be indistinguishable by electronic means, whereas sin/cos encoders are driven with DC and produce sin and cosine signals only when the rotor is turning, but static voltages when it is stationary.

Index Home Delta A2 E is it possible? was created by danieleee

Index Home Delta A2 E is it possible?

Category: EtherCAT

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I'm Italian and I'm using a translator.
I have a Delta A2 model E servo drive (EtherCAT).
I'd like to use Index Home, but I noticed that the CN1 connector on the drive is missing the OCZ signal output.
Is there another way to do Index Home?
For communication, I use Beckhoff EK1100, EL1859.
Thanks in advance.

I would choose a higher wattage/higher maximum voltage resistor

Is it possible to use stall force tolerance for z axis home and detecting the sheet metal in qtplasmac?  I will add a floating head and a z home switch if its not possible.

Set program zero using XY positioning laser

Category: Advanced Configuration

So at the beginning of the hal file
there is a commented out loadrt for the
abs function and later on an addf line
for that function that fails because
the function was never installed.

I suspect this is a bug in this pncconf
version when certain spindle functions are not
used. It turns out the the abs function
is never used, so simplest fix would be to delete
the addf abs.spindle line in the hal file.

#loadrt abs names=abs.spindle
#loadrt lowpass names=lowpass.spindle


addf hm2_5i25.0.read servo-thread
addf motion-command-handler servo-thread
addf motion-controller servo-thread
addf pid.x.do-pid-calcs servo-thread
addf pid.y.do-pid-calcs servo-thread
addf pid.z.do-pid-calcs servo-thread
addf pid.a.do-pid-calcs servo-thread
addf pid.s.do-pid-calcs servo-thread
addf abs.spindle servo-thread
addf lowpass.spindle servo-thread

addf hm2_5i25.0.write servo-thread
setp hm2_5i25.0.dpll.01.timer-us -50
setp hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.timer-number 1

Edit:

Note that the same issue is there with the lowpass function.

I suspect these were added for some some spindle speed display
function, that was not used, and only 1/2 removed from the hal
file boilerplate

Thanks. I bought the Stahlwerk 70 P Plasmacutter.

Would this resistor also be possible (Mouser wants 20€ shipping) ?

ECMO VMC100 Retrofit with Carousel/Toolchanger

Category: Milling Machines

Hi guys!
I get a VMC-100 as gift from a school.

I owm a F1P which i retrofit to LINUXCNC years ago. works perfect.
Same Machine as the VMC-100 but with manual Toolchange.

Now the VMC-100 has a carousel as Toolchanger.

 

This carousel have 4 proximity switch to operate the Toolchanger.

 

Sensor1 is a sensor to reference tool 1.
Sensor2 counts a hole in a parallel gear. is it counts 2 times the next toolslot is reached.
Sensor3 tells that the tool is engaged.
Sensor4 tells that the tool is disengaged and the mainspindle can rotate the carousel.

 

Main issue for me is that the carousel works above the Z reference sensor.
At Z reference positon the Carousel begins to disengage the tool and when sensor 4 is reached the carousel can rotate.

Does someone ever retrofit this in Linuxcnc and can share his experience?
I searched a bit arround but found only some videos with MACH3 and some dead threads.

I will use the orignial maindrive which has a encoder on it at the beginning.
the maindrive works with step/dir signals.

On my f1p was the same maindrive which i use to tap threads.. spindle orient is used for this but iswitch to a 1kw servo.
this time i will use everything orignial because i have 3 orignial stepperdrivers for the 5 phase steppers. later i would change to nema23 2 phase.
Main focus is to bring everything back to live without changing to different steppermotors or maindrive.

The maindrive is working and the encoder counts.
Steppers working.
all proximity sensors are working.


thanks for any help :)

the pictures are taken from youtube

Attached are the requested files. 

I have not made any manual changes to either of these files. They are both output from pncconf.

Kind Regards
