Good afternoon everyone

Can you please help me with how to configure the Z axis drive and recognize the THCAD2 as an encoder? I have tried several times without success.

 

When trying to move the axis, an error appears calculating the movement of the Z axis.

 

This is the INI file type configuration

 

this is the HAL type file configuration

Please, can someone guide me?

INI and HAl files attached


 

 

 

anyway I appreciate the effort. Thank you.

It was the "on abort call" causing that, every time you stop execution of a program it calls that routine and does whatever that routine tell it to.

Great news I think!!
It seems to be 1 or more of the commented lines here from ini file. I have tested about 10 times with commented it does not move on stop. Without commented it moves when stop is pressed.

I have no idea why, but at least it seems back to proper. The problem is the lines were added to use easy probe. So is there an issue there?

A little more information:
When it is moving on its own, I can not hit pause. Also If i Hit power, it does not respond until the move ends, then the power button is "pressed". Actually it appears all of the GUI is disabled until the move ends. But clicks are stored and executed when it stops moving.

If I hit pause then stop, it will still move.
If I hit pause then power off, It will stay still. Then when I power back on no movement happens. This seems like the work around for now.

Indeed I wish I had made that copy. But I remember most of the changes. I actually made no changes to .hal or any hal. But changes were made to ini. I can get rid of them.

Does anybody know what this error is? It happens when the machine stops moving after the "random" move.

The distance and direction seems to be related to where the program is in the gcode file.

 

Thank you for helping.
I am 99,9% sure it is analog control.
Here is what i found out:
This is so electrical drawing.
 
In PIN 18/19 there is the cable 186 and 189 with the name PA Ana_out...  you are right if it is a control input for the Servo the name Ana_out is not so good.
But: this is the CNC_Control in my machine:
 
And here you se the X37 Analog out... and one of this cable goes to the ServoDriver. And you also see the right wire names 186 and 189.

And i also find a china manual of the Servo_Driver were i find the PINs 19/20 from the servo driver and thees are +-10V... and thees pins you also see in the first pictures.

Thank you, I did this and it worked, thank you very much

Below is the diagram, if anyone goes through what I went through, just copy it

 

This attached part of the machine diagram is fuzzy So I am not sure what it depicts analog or digital control. May be Martin could rescan this part  translate any words to English and re-submit to  just make sure you have an analog control drives. On the diagram Analog out is a feedback signal not contrl signal, control signals are inputs. 

On the left of the analog-out signal are four inputs control wires, they would reveal the type of controls of the drives.

 

Just choose "use entire disk".

Thank you very much Master PCW I performed the following procedure to find the signal:loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_encoders=8 num_pwmgens=1 num_stepgens=5 sserial_port_0=3000"setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.00.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.00.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.00.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.01.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.01.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.01.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.02.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.02.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.02.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.03.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.03.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.03.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.04.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.04.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.04.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.05.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.05.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.05.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.06.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.06.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.06.scale -1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.07.counter-mode 1setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.07.filter 0setp hm2_7i96s.0.encoder.07.scale -1

the result was satisfactory: 

 

the result came out on encoder 6 and 7 of the 7i96s, thank you very much, I will follow the next recommended steps for this to be recognized as Z movement.

It sounds like this message is indeed referring to the USB flash drive, thank you.

I have a new SSD ordered that should arrive tomorrow. After I get it installed, I’ll attempt the install again.

Any feedback on how this new SSD should be partitioned for best performance? Or will the install partition it appropriately?
