If you have no space you can mount a Kuka robot on the seiling.


But I think plasma makes some mess, so a big feature is the water tray.
I skipped any ideas of laser or plasma. Laser I find too expensive for my hobby. $$$ and a plasma has to compete with the local laser company that cuts things for a small fee.

I am using LinuxCNC+EtherCAT to retrofit an old NC controller in Japan. I am not good at English, so I am posting on the forum using Google Translate.

I apologize if it is difficult to read.

I am currently using an old torque-controlled servo amplifier controlled by Beckhoff's EL5101+EL4132.

The problem is that in Homing, Index-enable is connected to jioint, PID, and Encoder, but when it is moving at the HOME_LATCH_VEL speed, when it seems to detect the C phase of the Encoder, it goes into a runaway state for a moment and immediately goes to the HOME_FINAL_VEL speed.

After Homing ends, the same phenomenon does not occur when Homing is performed again. It only occurs during Homing immediately after powering on.

When I made it with EM7004 before, I was told that I did not connect Index-enable to PID, but this time I am having trouble resolving the problem.

I cannot increase the PID gain because it goes out of control.

I am attaching the INI and HAL. Please let me know if there are any mistakes.

I am using LinuxCNC 2.9.4. The EM7004 system was created with 2.3.2 and has not been upgraded.

I have asked a question on "General LinuxCNC Questions" about whether there is a problem with the PID, but I was unable to find a solution.

Thank you in advance.

 

looking good!

I really like the look of QTDragon_HD too. I am using it with a ASUS VT229 21.5" touch screen monitor. It works really well.

I think you would need to build from source so you can select the code branch via git checkout

Dear forum members,
Hello!

I followed the stickied post to install Linuxcnc and EtherCAT, titled "EtherCAT installation from repositories - how to step by step". I simply want to switch to a different version of EtherCAT for some experiments, without altering any other software or configurations. How should I proceed?
 Thank you very much for your valuable time and assistance! I look forward to your replies.
Best regards

watched that vid... doesnt help. haha. (well no, it helps a little)
the auto config i did see but i got the impression it wasnt quite ready to go.
