Hi All! Tell me please. I correctly understand the next question. if the axes are integrated into a coordinate system, they perform fully synchronized movements. That is, when the motion parameters of one axis change (external influence), the motion parameters of the other axes in the coordinate system will be adjusted so that the coordinate system moves as close as possible to the calculated trajectory ?? That is, an external impact on any axis will cause a correction of the movement of the other axes? Regards!

Hello friends! Tell me please. Where can I find the latest boot firmware file for changing the mode of communication this board ? Best Regards!

Hello! Gregs, no. I have not tried to install firmware 1.16. I installed it I sent a support team. Judging by the file name (photo1) is the version 1.17C Can there be damaged board, if it is installed in pc104 slot, and connected to it by the same RS232 PС? I now check how the board to respond to different actions. and I write the results. Regards!

Hello! I am again asking for help :) I do the following: 1. board is connected to the PC through the PС104 connectors. 2. Close the E13 Jumper. 3. Run PC and load PeWin. PeWin saw the board and asked firmware. firmware is successfully updated. 4. Reload PC. PeWin dont see board... I also tried to update the firmware through the RS 232 port. firmware is 100% loaded. but the red LED lights up at the end (WachDog), and the message about incorrect speed. what I am doing is wrong ?? Thanks! Regards!

Thanks! I understand that this old equipment and it does not have any guarantees. All I do - it's my risk and responsibility. But this is a hobby. simply great when a piece of iron begin to stir. :) These controllers are very inexpensive on sale. (on ebay...) And I think that this is the best that you can buy at this price. Friends - thank you for what you are doing ! is really cool controllers. And your support and assistance is very helpful! Best Regards!

Gregs Thanks! is now I will write a letter in support. I think to have the same firmware version - the right idea. One more issue as a curiosity. I have NC-2.36 (1). Has sense to use a machine to control it? Or better use of HMI from Advantage 400 ? OCLB board is available. Best Regards!

Thanks Gregs! Yes, I was wrong. I use the same ISA board on her version 1.16H. please tell me - where can I download something 1.17С firmware. ? And whether it makes sense to replace the firmware PMAC-1 (ISA) to 1.17C (instead of 1.16H)? Best Regards!

Hello! Please tell me. I have two old PMAC in PC104 format. (PMAC2A) Both boards are fully working. I want to use them for small milling and lathe machine (нomemade). but I ran into a problem. One board has a firmware version 1.17B, while the second is the firmware version 1.17С. Friends, please tell me whether it is possible update the firmware on these boards то 1.17H ?? Thanking you in anticipation ! Best Regards!

please tell me. I ran into a problem. was made by the board reset. re-configure all the parameters. re-configured to the National Assembly. everything works. but if you move to G01 drive "is not hard." you move through the G00 everything works well. and when the code G01 axis very smoothly accelerated and slowed down just as smoothly. there is a big mismatch error. tell me - where can I find Poble? that I have missed? Regards !

Hello! Thanks!!! It is very good news. filters - is probably the most difficult to understand in setting up the drive .. Best Regards!

Hello! thank you very much for the video that you made. they have a lot of useful information. You can ask you to make a video that shows the use of filters in different situations? Thank you in advance!

I agree. use ready-made solution is always easier. I could not do it. The original file "ControlPanel.PLC" written for use with an external operator panel. I now realize I made a mistake at the beginning. I was counting the functions Control-Panel Port predetermined. and will function properly in any environment. this was not true :) Now I would do another panel operator. but I am unable to change it. so I have to use something that is already done. this would have to change the original file "ControlPanel.PLC". if there are other ways to get to work my plate - let me know, I'll try it. Now I'm trying to organize a search for "Home" in two stages. (to limit movement and return to the index mark). The original "Home.PLC" does not made it. :( Regards!

why? what it would have an effect? I change only ControlPanel.plc file.

Hello Steve! Thanks for your help! I got it to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KCU3Lewb6-Y Steve, can you explain to me. System uses multiple PLC files. For example ControlPanel.PLC, Home.PLC, Spindle.PLC etc. I want to add the PLC file. (ESTOP.PLC). is there a difference if I am: 1. will create a new PLC file and attach it like any other PLC file. 2. installed "estop"-script in Controlpanel.PLC file. whether the differences in the work and what they will be shown? Thanks!

Thanks Steve! It is not very easy for a beginner, but I'm trying to understand. :) Best regards!

Steve, I wonder - for what purpose it is done? What for are defined variables, if they can not be used, and should be defined new. ? Why in the manual specify the destination Control-Panel Port Input Bits, if they can be used anywhere ? ps: I like this PMAK. I want to understand it...

and this is all ???? ohhhh... where were my brains .. Thanks Steve! if you were close - I would give you a beer :)

Hello! +1! Steve, can you more detail ? I see in the manual PMAC - variables be assigned to certain functions. For example, M20 displays the status of the 4-pin JPAN port.... if I can not use them - how do I get the status of my buttons? You can make example for understand how I do it? Thanks.

Hello. I'm using a direct connection to JPAN connector. the scheme looks like this: http://i48.fastpic.ru/big/2013/0403/c7/11240e902d302880b0055bcbcf52c7c7.gif All buttons NC type. I was trying to write his own PLC: **************** CLOSE M20->Y:$FFC0,8,0 M21->Y:$FFC0,9,0 M22->Y:$FFC0,10,0 M23->Y:$FFC0,11,0 M24->Y:$FFC0,12,0 M25->Y:$FFC0,13,0 M26->Y:$FFC0,14,0 M27->Y:$FFC0,15,0 OPEN PLC 16 CLEAR //JOG - IF(M20=1) COMMAND"#2J:-1000" M20=0 ENDIF //JOG+ IF(M21=1) COMMAND"#2J:1000" M21=0 ENDIF //PRE JOG IF(M22=1) COMMAND"#2J=" M22=0 ENDIF //STOP IF (M25=1) COMMAND"#2K" M25=0 ENDIF //HOME IF (M26=1) COMMAND"ENABLE PLC12" M26=0 ENDIF CLOSE ************* if I download it through PEWIN - everything works. but if I try to use it at boot NC ... there is no movement .. Why is that?

Hello! you can tell me - what and where should I change for this to work without ASS34 ? sorry - I'm a bad programmer :) I see a lot of variables. I understand that to be changed addresses. but I can not understand where this should be done. Regards!

Thanks! I found a lot of useful and I hope I can start the machine Regards!

Hello. Thanks! In such a way PMAC delivers smooth and precise motion, regardless of the method of reception of the task. I understand you correctly? MACH is a temporary solution. You understand the impatience to see how the new machine. :) I have NC2.36. and made the console: http://i52.fastpic.ru/thumb/2013/0329/53/d197fbdb718ffd1ef9a848a7286cf753.jpeg http://i52.fastpic.ru/thumb/2013/0329/6d/701ac54a5c56a37a39f9c0ccf04b836d.jpeg Console connect to "control panel" port. functions that are necessary for me I mounted on the console. others, such as the "axis of choice" for Jog movement, override, work mode, and another I hope to use the screen SC. but I'm not the best programmer. I need a lot of time to understand and change PLC. particularly hard for me to understand what variables are used in NC. Regards!

Hello! I won it ! the problem was in the original solder contacts. I repaired it. now everything works! http://i53.fastpic.ru/thumb/2013/0327/82/03245451a17b5f9f3c366b03d8193a82.jpeg http://i53.fastpic.ru/thumb/2013/0327/c7/d9acf7d88ee561d61a6984fca3a6b4c7.jpeg I thank everyone for their support and I have a few more questions :) 1. if I use as a control program Mach3 (as done here: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/knee_vertical_mills/72957-supermax_kmc-40_w_micropath_series_40_control-4.html#post600700) Will work s-curves function ? as I understand it, drive control functions should work with any command input method. or am I wrong? 2. Are there examples of PLC for simple control panel on the J2 connector? (I have problems with programming and I can not get the remote to work :( ) I will be very grateful for your help. Regards!

Thanks Gregs! I disabled the position limit. (set i225 = $ 2C004). Now I will try to set up the software to run without limit switches. If I attach/remove the wires for the limit input and AGND - I do not see any change in the status of Lim inputs.

Hello! Please prompt me. whether it is possible to configure the machine to work without sensors limit switches? and is it possible to check the serviceability of the board? (channel limit switches)? Regards!
