I'm not a Linuxcnc guy, however I do make and fault find control panels for lots of different machines.. 
is there a possibility of you posting the complete wiring schematic for the control panel? It may be something entirely seemingly unrelated is causing the problem. 
 

Hi.
I set up my machine and everything worked for me, but there is a small problem: The direction of movement of the X-Axis is not up to standard.
Please tell me how to change the direction of movement of an axis on a machine? How to swap + and - places? The machine is assembled on an ASD-A2 EtherCat. System LinuxCNC 2.9.2.
I tried to configure the change using scale using the following code:net x-vel-cmd    =>  scale.3.in
setp scale.3.gain -1
net x-vel-cmd-DAC  scale.3.out  =>  lcec.0.X.srv-vel-cmdand changing the .iniENCODER_SCALE = -1but the machine goes crazy and does not work normally.

try the P1-01 servo parameter.

There is a bug in the linuxcnc-erhercat if you just set the negative option

Bonjour à tous, j'aimerais bien moi aussi fabriquer ma table plasma , tout seul je suis pas sur de la finir un jour, je voulais tester un peu le forum, savoir si il est suffisamment actif pour me lancer avec vous, je suis prêt à partager toutes les étapes pour les prochains créateurs.
J' ai bien conscience qu'ici ont devrait plus discuter de la partie paramétrage de logiciels, mais avant d'acheter n'importe quoi, je préférerais profiter de votre expérience.
Merci 

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

To have a button with an object name of state_stop_pb be disabled when the estop is on and enabled when the estop is off.
To have a button with the object name of state_on be off when the power is off
And to answer your question to have a button disabled when a program is running add the object name to the following dictionaries

Good to hear that you are making progress.

[edit]
I would be interested to know how tool offsets are handled in the tool table for lathe tooling in the milling spindle on such a mill-turn machine. On a lathe the tool offset is different to a mill in the sense that the length of the tool is an X-offset as opposed to a Z-offset. That is why I have made two different TCP (mill / lathe) modes in this sample config. I wonder if that is actually necessary or if lathe tool offsets are handled just like milling tools.
 

Hi Folks,

im still living. Wanna give you a status update:

1. The spindle taper is fixed (Needed to be Laserwelded and reground)
2. New spindle bearings
3. I scraped the geometry of the Y axis. Which was a major step, and im not satisfied with the bearing points. (Geometry is excellent) When it gets warmer in Germany i want the moglice all the guide ways. Epoxy is already ordered.
4. I reassembled the B axis. In january i hope to reassemble the spindle and mount it to the B axis. I need the spindle and B axis ready and mounted to the X axis slide to check and scrape (even for moglice scraping is needed) the geometry.

Kind regards and happy new year,
Jochen

At this stage, I would bypass the contactors so the Indramat is on when the power is connected to the machine (maybe through estop chain) without LCNC and manually give an analog signal to the indromat using a 1.5V AA battery. If the Z axis moves, you can continue to troubleshoot the following error. If it does not, then the indramat is dead.

Hallo zusammen,

melde mich wieder nach langer Zeit aus der Versenkung.
Ich habe neues zu berichten. Meine alte Konfiguration mit SEW-Servos und analoger Ansteuerung über die Mesa 7i97 lief mehr schlecht als recht.
Ich hab das alles rausgeworfen und den freiwerdenden Platz mit  A6 Servos (Ethercat) von Stepperonline gefüllt. 
Mit Hilfe aus den Forum forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/54965-stepperonline-a6-servo hab ich alles erfolgreich zum laufen gebracht.
Meine Konfiguration:
Gantry: XYYZ (1800mm x 600mm x 300mm)
Servos: X A6 750W Ethercat STO, YYZ A6 400W Ethercat STO
Die Servos laufen über Netztwerkkarte 1 und die I/O über Netzwerkkarte2
Oberfläche: Gmoccapy
Homing über Homeschalter 
Die Servos werden leider ohne I/O Kabel geliefert. Das wird benötigt, um die Homeschalter an die Servos anzuschließen.
Ich habe mir hier DB15 VGA Stecker bestellt und die Kabel selbst gebaut.
Die Achsen verfahren, Homing funktioniert, jetzt muss ich nur noch die Feineinstellungen erledigen.

Grüße

Andre

     



 

I am now having trouble with the Maho 400E. The machine was working normally, had a normal shut down, and the next day started erring out.



It does not seem to be a LinuxCNC or Mesa  issue as it boots into LinuxCNC without error. 
** Note - It is configured as a vertical mill, but Maho configured as a horizontal, so on the original schematics, Y and Z are switched.
** Note - The HAL and Ini are attached to the first posts in this thread.

Consistent symptoms.
- X axis jogs without error.
- Y axis will jog in either direction, as far as I like, but as soon as I release the jog button, it faults with a " Y axis following error"
- Z axis faults immediately as soon as jog button pushed to "Z axis following error".
These symptoms are consistent and repeatable.

In addition, inconsistent symptoms are
- When it first happened the "Control Voltage Fault" light was lit on the Indramat server amp. This has not lit again
- On start up,  sometimes it refuses to latch on, sometimes it drops the latch immediately with a " External estop set" messages:

Troubleshooting:
- The 3Ph power at the wall probed normal. 
- The 3ph  power in the cabinet after the main switch probed fine
- The 2x90VAC and 2x 140VAC which input to the Indramat probe fine at the input to the 7K1 relay.
- The E-Stop chain has continuity.
- The Machine is ready chain through the motor overheat protection (8B2/9B2/10B2) is working.
- Interchanging the Heidenhain EXE's makes no difference to behaviour (withing the limitation that Y and Z EXE's have different resolutions, and therefore the PID tuning is off on the swap).
-manually jogging Y with a hex drive, the linear scale follows motion.

It would seem that the next troubleshooting step is to work out whether the Indramat is faulting and dropping the 7A1 contact.
 

or whether the Indramat is simple reacting to either a fault in the enable circuit
 

...or it the issue is driven by the latching circuit
 

How would you recommend troubleshooting to isolate which is cause, and which is effect, with these actions which occur nearly similtaneously? With pins or signals should I put on the Halscope, and what am I looking for please?

I just updated the 7i92t firmware to include all the latest firmware from Mesa. Select the 7i92t and then Downloads > Firmware to get the latest.

Edit: I also updated the 5i25t, 7i76eu, 7i95t, 7i96s and 7i97t firmware.

Hello,
I've spent a few days getting Linuxcnc 2.9.7 up and running with a Mesa 5i25 board, properly flashed and functioning.
My hardware setup consists of 2no X-axis gecko 203V drives, 1no Y - axis, 1no Z-axis, and 1no A-axis.
I have x,y,z home switches, e-stop, and Highspeed Spindle.

I have been trying to get the mesa card to work with a HKD 5 AXIS MACH3 BOB.
Currently i can get mesa to drive the gecko drives and motors if I connect directly (Testing Purposes Only).
I cannot get the HKD BOB to drive the gecko drives and motors.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks,
Orrin
 

I think current master would probably make the most sense as this is where it could actually be merged. 2.9 is for bug fixes only. (Currently recommended stable version is 2.9.7)

[edit]
If your modifications are limited to the trajectory planner you might also be able to create a custom planner that can be used as a drop in replacement for the one currently used:
