Hi,
I would like to set the motor x home offset, but I couldn't not quite figure out how. Can someone please help me with that?
According to the the "PMAC Software Reference Manual", setting the motor x home offset is done by setting the variable Ix26. However homing motor x after setting Ix26 to something different then zero still moves motor x to position zero. So I found another thread on this forum (http://forums.deltatau.com/showthread.php?tid=291&pid=728&mode=threaded) saying that I must set the variables I7022 and I7023, too. However, looking them up in the manual, I got confused. So here's what I want to do:
I want to make the current position of the motor the home position. So I'm retrieving the current position of motor x (command #xP) and set Ix26 to this value * 16. Now I move motor x to a different position. Afterwards I home motor x (command #xHM).
To which values would I have to set I7022 and I7023 so motor x moves to the home offset position instead of zero and why?
According to the TYPE command, I'm using a PMAC Turbo2. PEWIN gives me that:
TYPE
Turbo2, X8
Thank you for your help!

No I haven't, yet. However, it's a program generated by NCUI. Is there a possibility to access the PMAC program that NCUI sends to PMAC?

Thank you very much CharlesP!
After setting I5 to 0, I was able to change the jog speed of the motors. Setting it back to its former value I5=0 automatically resets Ix22 to its former value.

Hi,
can someone please help me with how to set the variable Ix22 (in PEWIN) in order to change the jog speed of motor x?
In PEWIN I tried "I122=2000" to change the jog speed of motor 1 to 2000 counts/msec (as on-line command). However the value of I122 did not change. In PEWIN it looks like that:
I122
3500
I122=2000
I122
3500
According to the TYPE command, I'm using a PMAC Turbo2. PEWIN gives me that:
TYPE
Turbo2, X8
Another variable of interest could be I50. PEWIN gives me that:
I50
20
By the way, changing the homing speed by setting variable Ix23 works.
Thank you for your help!
How to enable "c-axis mode"?
in Turbo PMAC
Posted
Hi,
how can I enable the "c-axis mode", if PMAC is in "manual work spindle mode"? I assume that's a machine specific problem. "C-axis mode" means I can control the motor through commands, but it's stiff if I try to rotate it manually. "Manual work spindle mode" means, move commands have no effect on the axis/motor, but I can easily rotate the axis by hand. I checked the value of variable Ix00, but it's 1 in "c-axis mode" and 1 in "manual work spindle mode".
According to the TYPE command, I'm using a PMAC Turbo2. PEWIN gives me that:
TYPE
Turbo2, X8
Help is much appreciated.
