[Install IDE on WinXP32?]

Hi folks,

 

I'm stuck with an old machine application that can't be installed on a higher OS than WinXP32 due to an issue with the security dongle.

I'm running the application inside a VM on Win10.

The problem is that when I try to install the IDE on XP, the installation halts saying that Internet Explorer 10 or higher is required, WinXP can only go to version 8.

Is there a way around this problem?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

[Air Assist Cylinder]

Hi folks,

 

I've recently added some new equipment to a Z-Axis as part of an upgrade.

This has added a fair bit of weight to the axis and the motor isn't coping too well as a result. There is another machine on site ( a Fanuc), that uses air assist which works really well, so, i'd like to try the same approach on the affected machine.

 

Controller is a Turbo Pmac2 in a UMAC configuration. I've configured a spare output (M7135) and tested it ok. Could someone provide me with a code example on how to fire this output? Output to energise an air solenoid.

 

Basically what is required is, once a counter-clockwise movement of the motor is detected, M7135 needs to go high. Motor is #3 in the system.

 

Many thanks.
