You can direct connect to via the AC Servos via a special cable through USB and their software: www.dmm-tech.com/resource-center

The 7I92 does connect via eithernet. I believe the reason for purchasing the dual board setup was to make sure there were enough axis controllers available for eventual expansion via rotary tables and things like that, as well as the appropriate spindle control for the mill.

It is a 7I92M as per the screen printing on the board and the sticker on the back.

I did check the 5v power and it appears to be getting a very solid 5v, but I will power it independently to double check in case there is some form of low voltage immediately at power on.

Appreciate the help, I'll start the RMA process with Mesa.

Edit: Oh, and I'm assuming I should be able to configure the 7I76 / 7I77D appropriately to be powered via direct 5v and look at the lights to confirm those boards function as well? The manual is a little sparse on what the different LED patterns indicate.  

Not, it's the same

This is old machine, so it's probably an old board, so it's probably a 7i92M (sans "T").

Is the card IP address different in the 5 Axis configuration?

First, is the a 7I92M or 7I92TM? these need different firmware and recovery is
done differently.

On a 7I92M, what is expected to happen at power up is that both red LEDs will
turn on briefly and then go out. If the /INIT light never goes out (even for a fraction of a second)
at power up, its likely an issue with the 5V power so first check the 5V power.

Also on a 7I92M, if the /INIT light blinks of briefly at power up and then re-illuminates,
this  suggests corrupted firmware or some other card issue which probably requires
returning the card to Mesa for analysis/repair/replacement.

 

How did you move the servos if that board is broken?

What USB connection?

Doesn't the 7i92 connect via ethernet?

Why is there a 7i76 and a 7i76?

Doesn't the 7i77 have enough I/O by iteself?

(I know you didn't buy those boards or wire them, it's just strange that somebody decided to use both)

You should contact MESA for sure.

They would know, right?

Perhaps you can reflash it yourself?

Unfortunately, I have no experience with MESA cards, I'm a parallel port guy;that's what my machine uses and I have tons of extra serial and parallel port PCIe cards I don't know what to do with.

Hallo,
ich brauche mal einen Tip bezüglich der custom postgui hall.
Ich möchte die Maschinenspindel extern über einen Taster ein bzw. wieder aus schalten. Im Moment mache ich das mit zwei Tastern. Einen für EIN und einen für AUS. Dabei wird ein MDI Befehl auf der Axis Oberfläche angestoßen. Ich weiß das es mit der Funktion Toggle möglich ist, nur einen Taster zum EIN und AUS schalten zu benötigen. Funktioniert das auch bei MDI Befehlen?
Gruß Andreas

Pick your excuse :
1/ That requires more effort than my inherent laziness allows
Everything is already in there.

2/ I don't see a deal like that. The best deal offered here for a 5KW servo and driver from AliExpress is at least €1000, so will cost more like €1500 delivered, with tax and customs.

3/ I only have 16A feed at 400V. The required supply varies, but those 5KW servo drivers seem to require supplies which can peak above 20A.

But it is basically what Schaublin did on the follow on 125-CCN model. Since my collet closer limits the spindle to 3000rpm, a 1:2 reduction to the spindle would work, as those servos seem to be 6000rpm.

thank you very much, I really appreciate it

Die Beschreibung ist etwas vage, vielleicht kommt deshalb kein brauchbarer Hinweis.

Hat sich die Sache mittlerweile erledigt?

Hi everyone,I’m trying to use the Magic Comments in QtPlasmaC to automatically create/select materials from my G-code.

Example:

​​​​​​​Result:
- QtPlasmaC shows an error like “invalid parameter in magic comment”
- The material is not created automatically


Material management in the GUI works normally

My goal is to automatically load correct cut settings (pierce height, cut height, feed rate, etc.) from the G-code generated in my CAM software.

Questions:
- Any specific setting to enable this feature in the INI / QtPlasmaC preferences?
- Could someone share a working example G-code header with material Magic Comments?​​​​​​​

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
 

Later I'll send you an example; I have two potentiometers connected to a 7i73 to control those parameters, and with a component that saves their position when the LCN is executed.

The gcode interpreter will only accept axes you have configured in your ini file. The live plot in the gui will add translation in U,V,W to position of X,Y,Z respectively.
Note that you will need to add 'U,V,W' to the GEOMETRY entry of the [DISPLAY] section in your ini file.

See 'configs/sim/axis/axis_9axis.ini' for an example configuration.
